I agree tolivac. I don't see them lasting as Maytag isn't the brand it used to be and there have been no updates to the current models since they came out. I like them for the fact they are basically a Ricaar/Simplicity Tandem air without the price tag that comes with those brands. I just don't...

I have read online that Tacony owns Fuller however, the Fuller Brush Company Wikki page states it is owned by Victory Park Capital. Any ideas why there is this discrepancy?

Does anyone know why canister vacuums with a PN don't seem to agitate very well? For example, my Sebo D4 Premium has an excellent brush roll but it doesn't cause the carpet to vibrate the way the Kirby and Maytag 1200 do. There is a bit of agitation but nothing compare to the above mentioned...

I suppose I can see from a marketing standpoint but it just confuses the heck out of me. Never mind crap brands like Hoover, Eureka, Dirt Devil, etc. (I am referring to their current iteration, not past models) that have models coming out so frequently, you wonder what happened to the others. It...

Thanks Tolivac. Yeah, I am not sure why Kirby changed the system they have been using for ever as far as I know. I have been using auto on the Maytag. David

I wrote a post and forgot there is a two-step process to post and lost it. Well, won't be writing it again. Does anyone know if there is a way to get an email is someone has replied to one of my posts? Thanks, David

I have found it really tough to know which setting is best for my carpets. The Maytag has 6 settings and there are so many types of carpets, what the heck is low, medium, and high? Most of my carpets are cheap builder quality that have a slight pile to them. They aren't flat but not real plush...

Why was the Heritage II called the Legend as well?

I have posted quite a but on the Maytag 1200. Below I will summarize my options and rate several aspects of the vacuum on a scale from 1-5, 1 being the lowest score and 5 being the highest. Remember, these are my opinions based on the way I use the vacuum in my home. You may have a different...

PLEASE NOTE I like the Maytag. I am glad I bought it and I don't want to sway anyone from getting one. My above post was an ideal version of the vacuum. The vacuum cleans carpets very well which is the most important quality of a vacuum. It is a bit heavy to push but I have gotten used to it. I...

What a difficult question to answer as everyone is going to have their own opinion on what looks nice. I really like the look of the blue Kirby (can't remember the model), the Miele upright is quite good looking, I think the Sebo D4 is a nice looking machine. I also like the Sebo Felix. Not only...

I saw a video on youtube that showed a Riccar that had a fluted brush roll that is supposed to provide more agitation than the regular metal brush roll. Question, will the fluted brush roll fit the Maytag M1200?

Growing up, my grandfather had a Heritage II and I remember loving that machine. I could barely push it but there was something about it that was so appealing. My love of vacuums started with the Heritage. Shame, a piece of plastic on the side of the brush roll broke so he put the Kirby out to...

Scott Feltzer owns Kirby

My point was to "dream on the ultimate machine" but some have made good points. I like electronic suction control for dusting. My Sebo D4 will suck the ends of the dusting brush in if I don't turn it down pretty low. Similarly, if I am dusting curtains or delicate fabric, it is nice to get just...

dysonman1, you make excellent points, thank you! I do really like it just dreaming of the perfect machine

I am not suggesting you don't grow but perhaps evolve, more like the Kirby model. Why have so many models out at the same time?

These aren't issues so much as ideals.

Which Riccar/Simplicity model is the Maytag M1200 most like? Also, who actually sells these machines? I mean, if it is under warranty and needs to be replaced, is it replaced by Tacony or Maytag?

When I purchased my SEBO D4 Premium it was, I believe, $899 or maybe $799. Either way, that is significantly more than it costs in the UK, even when you take exchange rates into account. Now, since they have come out with the E series, the D series has jumped in price and the D4 Premium is...
