    Help! Shopping for New Vacuum and Overwhelmed

    I may end up with a Miele in the end. Price has to be right though. I guess I can try and buy it on the net as the service can be local. I'd rather get it locally, but the two close dealers won't move to where I want them to I don't think.

    Help! Shopping for New Vacuum and Overwhelmed

    Now I'm rethinking. That's the only problems with boards, lol. All along the PN's with light are the ones I seem to like the best. The Miele and Moxie were the two I liked at first and for some reason the lights got my attention. I also feel that the Moxie should have LED's lights, but at...

    NY Writer Have you gone to a Sebo dealer to play with their uprights yet? If not, you need to before buying. I went to Lux and the guy was rude and a jerk. I LOVED the new one though. What a cool machine and it's bulletproof. Worked great too. I didn't even realize I tried the Felix as...

    Just back from the Sebo store, lol. The missed the owner by 5 minutes, but I'll go back tomorrow or tues if I can. I will negotiate to purchase the D4 from him with the ET1 head. I LOVED it. I played with it for awhile. I vacuumed a good chunk of the store and I was able to carry on a...

    Help! Shopping for New Vacuum and Overwhelmed

    This is one great thread. Thanks to all for playing, lol. Hopefully others have gotten a lot out of it. I know I have. I have just been outbid for the Moxie. I am scared about the lack of warranty, even though this is the new unit with the new cirrcut board in the handle. I don't know what...

    My current Oreck is going to my wife's office. That's how this search started, lol. I spoke with someone today from this forum and I'm still thinking Miele, but going to play with the Earth to see what I think. I will also wait for 2 more days to see if I win my bid on Ebay for the Moxie. If...

    I'm a retired Naval officer and the Miele dealer I like is a retired Army officer. He's the one pushing Miele, lol. I want the best for the buck. The US companies need to understand that most Americans will guy US made or a product that has mostly US parts IF it's the best or tied. I have a...

    Help! Shopping for New Vacuum and Overwhelmed

    Funny as I just sent an email to him about the warranty JUST before reading your post and it's a good one. If it's a manuf warranty then I guess I could bid higher than 225 or so (plus the 50 shipping), but I think I can still get the local demo with everything thrown in for around 500 or so...

    Why do you think you came off the wrong way? I'm feeling that way by hijacking and I didn't mean to. I just saw a thread that was the same I came here to start. I've learned a ton by reading all of Matt's stuff too. Thanks to all. The Royal dealer is trying to talk me out of even looking at...

    Help! Shopping for New Vacuum and Overwhelmed

    I'm in Berlin which is the epicenter of the state. The Riccar dealers don't seem to carry the canisters onsite, but the Simplicity seems to be the exact same other than color. I just need to figure out is the Silver Moon is my best option or if I need to go new. I think the lightweight of the...

    Help! Shopping for New Vacuum and Overwhelmed

    Yes the Silver Moon has the controls on the handle and that's what draws me to it each time. I would want the Capricorn Miele if I bought a new one, but I most probably can't afford one. I don't know the lowest they'd go for one with the 236 head which I like the best. The silver moon has a...

    Help! Shopping for New Vacuum and Overwhelmed

    There are a ton of recommendations and like anything else, folks have favorites and that's why they make so many models. I vacillate as learn more and more, but that's a good thing. The Miele's are comfortable. I really love the Silver Moon with the newer 236 head and he's throwing in every...

    Help! Shopping for New Vacuum and Overwhelmed

    Oh I missed by two hours getting the Titan with a barely used 236 head. He would have given it all to me for the 599. I would have brought out my card for that on the spot I think, lol.

    Help! Shopping for New Vacuum and Overwhelmed

    THANKS for sharing Wow, this is what I'm talking about. I LOVED the Perfect but no way I could use it. I may do Miele. Should I suck it up and go Titan or Calypso or the used Silver Moon? What's a fair price to offer for the Calypso. Can I get it for lower than 799 with a turbo head, bags...

    Help! Shopping for New Vacuum and Overwhelmed

    Just back from another vacuum store and the last one I'm going to. He dropped the Riccar/Simplicity due to many tech problems. Said it was as decent machine that broke down too much. He has the Perfect which seems like the old Elextrolux (he said the guy bought the dyes etc from them and it's...

    Help! Shopping for New Vacuum and Overwhelmed

    I'd love to hear the answer. I'm going back to the store and I'll try both. the Miele has their upgraded 236 head with LED's. It will be a good test. I just came in assuming that even a 2003 Miele nearly top model with today's hose/heads would outperform and be a better value than a Moxie...

    Thanks guys. So many choices, but getting closer. I've read a ton on the Silver Moon and the new 236 head alone is 236 new and this is a new hose with a new PN head. It seems to get great comments other than the cost of things to keep it going. He's throwing in the swivel floor head along...

    Help! Shopping for New Vacuum and Overwhelmed

    Which is a better vac, the Royal 30020 or the Moxie 2? Both are close in price from the looks of it. Seems like the Moxie may be the better machine.

    I just saw the Sebo for 499 is their demo of the K3. Should this one be in the mix? It seems to have controls on the handles and I do like the power head and how the roller comes out to clean. thoughts?

    Help! Shopping for New Vacuum and Overwhelmed

    The Sebo is going for 899. I think that's what most online have it for too. So the Moxie is a better unit? Hmmmm I fully believe it, but the controls aren't on the handle and that's a nice thing to have with MS as it's tough for me to get down on the floor to change settings and stuff. I...
