GM
Yea, I learned a TON. Funny story is that I was visiting a friend who runs an auto dealership when my call came in that they accepted my offer. I was working with a new sales person there and he was a good guy. When they asked about the call, I told them my offer for a new vacuum was accepted. The manager (my friend Brian) was in shock and laughed. Keith, the sales guy (new to the dealership) said the D4 was a GREAT unit and he has used one. I asked him when and he told me he owned a vacuum store for years in his past. That was too funny. I told him the others I was looking at and he said I couldn't go wrong. We spoke about the swivel on the top of the hose and not just at the canister. He agreed with me that he never liked the Riccar/Simplicity design and he feels it puts much too much stress where the hose and handle meet. Not sure if that's true, but it makes sense. He said he never had Sebo's come back for work. Said that the connector where the wand and handle meet is best on the outside even though it's not slick like the Miele because it was easy to fix and not that expensive to get a new jumper if needed. He said he only sold one though as they never were messed up. Said that he had some problems with Miele in the late 90's, early 2000's. Said that he always had broken boards on the Riccar's he sold. Liked them overall and said since they fixed the hose issue that it shouldn't be a problem as I only have one house to vacuum, lol. It was interesting to hear him say that and it just solidified my thoughts. Having fun this morning cleaning, lol.
