That looks fairly interesting I admire Shark's innovations. They have come up with some neat ideas over the years. I do wish they would work on build quality more. Many people have noted they break easier than they should. I like the sound of "magnetic charging" whatever it means.

I totally forgot about Shark as someone mentioned above. They likely have a significant market share now too. Miele, Sebo, and several other "high-end" brands have niche market shares with higher income households as well. It's hard to find actual data on this market share of companies. Most...

I think bagged and bagless are each at roughly 50% market share in the US but I could be wrong. It's hard to find info about it. In the US uprights control the highest market share but stickvacs and robotic vacuums are growing rapidly. Canisters remain in second place. Central vacuum systems...

It certainly is a nice looking machine. I admire Rexair's history of technological invention. Water filtering technology in the early years of electricity was a miracle of engineering. Looks like they continue new technology development with the magnetized hose locking mechanism, the washer...

I have trouble visualizing how these machines operate. Is the following correct? The suction motor is located in the bottom of the upper part under the bag compartment and when the motor is on, the airflow is pulled from the nozzle, thru the hose connecting the nozzle to the upper part of the...

I am more interested in the floor washer robots than the vacuum robots. I feel that a robot can theoretically handle floor washing better than vacuuming. Dirt is easier to remove from solid surfaces than from fiber carpeting. My first robot purchase will probably be a floor washer. Until the...

You don't have to try very hard to convince me... Bagless vacuums took the last train to Sucksville. Even if I have to go back to brooms and dustpans I will *NEVER* buy one.

That black unit looks good!

The first time I ever saw one of these I thought to myself: "Wow, what an odd, ugly contraption." I was in high school and the janitors used these in the carpeted classrooms. They had the yellow ones with the big bags that puffed up on top that looked like blue jean material. I did notice that...

Other people always have the best luck finding great looking machines but not me. :-0

Looks really nice and cool with the bright lights. Nice update. My only quibbles are the fact you can't take the machine off the dolly (sometimes that's handy) and no retractable cord. I feel that big honking power nozzle could have been made smaller had they tried. It really did appear to groom...

I completely concur You have to be cautious about vacuum sales statistics in the U.S. because the door-to-door models are still selling nationwide and they don't show up in the sales statistics because they aren't sold at stores and they don't usually record with a barcode scanner. Vacuum sales...

how disappointing I loved it until I saw the (again) lack of a cord winder. I could have sworn that the photo of the "features list" said pull-release cord storage. I thought for sure they would finally add that. They didn't. Not paying that much for a vacuum that lacks such a simple...

Such sad news It appears Tacony is doing it's best to attempt to commit suicide like Urso did to Electrolux.

"Didn't look odd on the Raymond Loewy post war Singer." To me it did. Not sure why but I'm on the fence about one-eyed design styles. I do like them overall and they look high quality. Wish it had a cord reel though like many uprights of the past. I'm just devastated that canisters seem to be...

headlights look a little odd to me Those look like they will also be equipped with the Tandem Air nozzles.

Wow, you are only 14? Good to see young people here. That's a nice Dirt Devil. One of the things I hate about bagless vacuums is the way the bin clouds over. It makes the machine look old and dirty. Speaking of bagless machines, that Rainbow looks good. A friend of mine had that same model but...

They look very well made. It's a pity they aren't more available in the U.S. market as I imagine many would buy them. They can be used as "shop vacs" in the garage or in the home for homes with little carpet. The smiling face is one of the cutest gimmicks I've ever seen. It brings instant...

Sorry to hear this about Tacony They made some excellent machines. They had the near perfect canister with the Immaculate(?). Powerful, quiet, well made, and with excellent filtration. I wish they had continued to improve that model. I was getting ready to buy when they discontinued the damn...

Thanks Lesinutah. That is good advice there.
