I just bought a Shark today. I plan to compare it to the "new" Walgreens steamer tomorrow. Just from a cursory once-over, I'm thinking they both came from the same factory in China. We'll see what happens at the face-off...
Depending on how things turn out, I may take you up on your offer to ship, SOJ (hope you don't mind the abbreviation). You may have access to some of the last of the Perfection line. According to Walgreens website, the item has been deactivated.
