Expanding hose link.... Here is a link for anyone who is interested in the expanding hose. There is also a video that shows it in action. It seems pretty cool. I called and talked to them and it is a kit that also comes with the wands and I believe some type of connector or something. I...

First, thanks to everyone who has helped me so far with all the input and opinions. You all made great sense and gave me a lot to think about. So with that said, after testing the Brilliant and Marin side by side, I have decided to purchase the Miele Marin. The Brilliant is an excellent...

Just realized something.... Here I am debating the fact the controls are on the handle of the Brilliant and no way to operate the vacuum without the hose, but that's the same situation I had with all my Kenmores. The suction control/power button was not on the vacuum and I guess I did just...

Valid points... This is going to be a tough one. I agree with everyone here and it does concern me about the machine not able to function without that specific handle. Odd they would make something so limited like that, but then again, having a longer warranty probably does help some. One...

Thanks, Paulo That's interesting to know about removing the hose from the Uniq vacuum. Right now, that is really the only thing I'm going back and forth on is the situation with the controls being on the handle only. How funny that one of the attributes I like the most about the Brilliant is...

Over the past week, I've been able to put the Miele C3 Marin head to head with a Sebo D4. While I was actually considering the E3 Supreme, my dealer only had the D4 available at the time to test. Anyway, I felt the Miele came out just a tad better for what I was looking for and will report my...

Thank you EurekaPrince! That's the wand and you're right, you can attach a floor tool to it. Honestly, I think it's a great add-on to have and it makes using attachments MUCH easier since it is so much lighter. Plus, you can attach the aluminum wand to the electrical or non-electrical wands...

Update to my last post... Went to my dealer since I'm in the middle of getting a vacuum and had to return the Sebo D4 I had out on trial. I talked to him about the wands and he showed me a couple of things. First, the non electric wand is not that much lighter than the electric wands. They...

I guess a better question is Can I fit a non electric wand on the electric hose that comes with the Marin or Brilliant? Chase's setup is perfect as well as Tsegs. Figure if all I need to add to the Marin or Brilliant is a non electric wand, that's less costly. I don't care if the hose is...

Can you add a NON-ELECTRIC hose to either the Marin or Brilliant C3 models? I was considering those models and really like your setup. Mainly, I'd like to be able to have a lighter wand when using the attachments or floor tool.

Maybe that's the problem is that I'm not pushing the PN foot lever down before I put the wand back into the PN. I'll try that tonight, but to answer your question about the wiggle room, it's definitely where the wand connects to the PN. The connection from the handle to the wand is just fine...

The C3 Marin arrived yesterday and I tried it out last night. The first thing I noticed is that it's amazingly quiet. It's also light weight and maneuvers pretty easy, but I do feel the casters are quite small on the canister. It rolls around okay on my carpet, but I feel if the wheels were a...

Thanks Tom! I was hoping you would answer this post since I read most of your threads regarding the Prima and it sounds like a great vacuum. Like I said, big fan of Tacony and I think they really stand behind the products they sell. Moreover, I have a great dealer that always takes care of...

I thought I would start another thread in my quest for finding a new canister. The Miele C3 Marin is set to arrive tomorrow since there was some deal with the company not getting their Miele shipment yesterday. Anyway, I spent most of yesterday and today reading up on the Riccar...

Has anyone heard of this vac before? Made in Germany: https://www.galaxy1150.com/?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIuKnuy9Wi1gIVC2l-Ch3BEAlTEAMYASAAEgLasvD_BwE
