Thoughts on Lindhaus Diamante and Comparison with Sebo

[cheesewonton]

I also have a Vibrance as well, though I now wish it was a Premium Plus but I still love it overall. I never had a problem with those machines clogging up. In fact I actually prefer the bottom plates on them. Just like on some Panasonics, they're no seals that'd eventually disintegrate and they don't rust on the inside. My only real complaint about them is the telescoping wand that'd pop out as I'm vacuuming. But I'd disagree that a Titan or a Cirrus are better made. Cirrus uses handles that'd break easily, the Vibrance has a much sturdy handle. I also don't like that the switch on the Titan isn't on the handle like the Vibrance.

The Cirrus and Titan models I'm referring to with have heavy duty steel handles. These are their commercial models with the brush roll shut off. The Titan T4000.2 and Cirrus C-CR79 and C-CR99.

With some modification, you could probably have the best of both.

I think I'm not clarifying well enough here. The handles I'm referring to are the grips. The grips on the Cirrus are common to break just like the Simplicity 7 Series. Titan is more sturdy as well but as I mentioned before, there's no switch on the handle. I hate having to bend over to turn a switch on. There was a green Titan model that did had a switch on the handle, in fact they're the copycat handle grips that the Panasonic Jet-Flo uprights used. I wish Tacony kept this one around because I like it more than the current black one.

Having the switch on the body doesn't bother me. Our Hoover Hushtone and Sebo 370 both have the off-on switch on the body. Both are excellent upright vacuums.

Obtw, the big Hushtone is another really great upright vacuum that like Rodney Dangerfield don't get no respect.

I will say Lindhaus has upgraded the hose on the newest Diamante units built within the last couple years or so and made it much longer. I'm not sure if they've upgraded the suction motor as well but given that Lindhaus has upgraded the motors on some other machines (such as the HF6) I would certainly hope so. I think the Diamante has probably the best feature set of any upright currently at that price point even with its flaws. Its strange the Lindhaus uprights aren't as strong suction wise when their canisters, the Aria and HF6, are quite powerful. Probably due to their uprights using only 4.3" 750W suction motor while the Aria and (newer) HF6 use a 5.4" 1200W motor.

I have heard that the motors might be better on the current models. That’s a good size of hose, but it is a bit messy. The new Diamante reminds me of my grandfather’s Windtunnel, he would keep the extension hose on and wrap it around the front. I see that they put that awful hose handle connection on the new version. I have that hose connection on my Healthcare, and I leave it attached as it feels like it might break. I’m not sure that I would be happy with the Diamante for $850 for the 300. I definitely prefer the X4 to the Diamante, I find the X4 to be more user friendly.

The X4 is a residential based machine by now, through all it's changes, but the diamante still has most of it's commercial roots.
