Hi, I'm looking for a replacement for Electrolux sr6500. Mostly hardwood floors with one caprted room and a few area rugs. Want a good power wand brush for cleaning upholtered furniture. Tahnk you for your time!

New here and I hope you can get my sanity back.lol My mother has owned an Electrolux Sr6500 for I don't know how long. Prior to that she had another electrolux. She swears by them and I can't blame her because both units have lasted. Two weeks ago her unit had a short or something and fried the outlet and actually burnt one of the power cable prongs right off. Luckly she caught it and pulled it out without a fire starting. Not quite sure yet if it was the vacuum or the outlet. Assuming that the vacuum is still fine and all it needs is a new power cord should I fix this unit? She loves the features of the nit and also does not want to spend money on a new unit if she does not have to. I'm just not sure if it's 1. safe, 2. working the way it should (she thinks it was), 3. should I just look into a new unit for her and what would you recommend? FYI most of the house is hardwood floors, with one room that has a berber (soory not sure of spelling) style carpet and two area rugs. Also she has a bad shoulder so any new unit recommendation should take weight and maneuverability into consideration. She love the power nozzle for cleaning the sofa and other items in the home. She is a "clean freak" and takes very good care of her things. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you fo ryour time!!!
