I'd defniltey like to hear Tom Gasko's opinion on the new Riccar R20UP. I'm definitely considering this same, exact machine. I've been having trouble reaching him at the factory outlet during those times lately.

The 7 series definitely seemed like a true workhorse, I'm guessing this one wouldn't be any different, I love how they put a longer hose for sure. As far as the lifetime belt is considered, they are definitely starting to incorporate this in all of the models. I've never had a...

@ Kirbylover Wow nice machine! None of my vac dealers here sell Simplicity, so I'll be lucky to find the new Vibrance r20up which supposedly is the same as 8955. Is this Simplicity pretty much the same as the Riccar r20up model besides the design differences? How have they improved it from...

@tolivac sorry for the late reply.. I don't understand why they wouldn't have the same warranty as all theother Tacony machines given the fact that the Maytags are made by Tacony too.. But I agree.. every time I think of Maytag, I immediately think of washers and dryers. I'm guessing that's...

I just caught onto this myself.. I was really wanting to buy the Simplicity 7 series (7850) only to find out that it has been discontinued, and replaced by an upgraded premium Symmetry :( :( I'm guessing that the Riccar 8955 will also be retired soon as well, as they are replacing it with an...

Yeah, my dealer did the same.. He took off the cover and ran the vacuum with it off. I thought it was cool to see the bag in action inflating, etc. The Kevlar belt seems pretty tough, I'm guessing it would give a better RPM with the brushroll against the carpet. It's good to know that this is a...

Good point there Dan, thanks.. awesome looking machine there!

@ Tolivac What I instantly liked about the Radiances during the testing at the shop was that they were a little reminiscent to me of the older style vacuums from when back when I was growing up; the ones with metal brushrolls that would aggressively agitate the dirt out of carpeting. This is...

@ beerad.. I agree.. The rep I guess really favors the Miele S7, he said he personally has one.. As far as the filtration, I agree; I find it very hard to believe that bagless vacs will filter better.. They are disgusting to own/maintain.. Sebo from what I hear has what is called a European...

So I'm looking around to possibly buy a new vac. I've been shopping around lately. I stopped by the vacuum store a few times to try out a few models that caught my eye; I've narrowed it down to 3-4 vacuums. TESTED: 1.) Riccar Radiance Premium- 2.) Miele S7 Salsa 3.)...
