Hi Rex,
Yes, I know Simplicity and Riccar have twins and when you mentioned yours.. that’s what made me realize I forgot to mention my Riccar too. I absolutely LOVE all the Tacony company vacuum cleaners and especially the Simplicity and Riccar, as I love to see brightly colored vacuum cleaners. The least likely way to get me to buy a vacuum is offer it in boring gray or bland color. My only exception has been the Pearl White Maytag vacuums.. I got it in my head I had to have all four models and I LOVE the white color. Hey, great idea to use the Sebo to vacuum out the Lux’s bag. I have to admit my partner sometimes thinks I am Crazy.. he will say to me, so you’re using one vacuum to clean out another vacuum? I typically clean out all my bagless vacuums with my Sebo Felix but instead of filling my Sebo bag quickly, I also carefully dump the contents and find a dry Swiffer Duster works great to tidy up the bin and catch any fly away dust. It’s funny but when you mentioned you use your Kirby as an upright with your Volt power nozzle, I thought what a great idea! Especially to get under lower areas like the bed and other low furniture. I guess I am weird or too OCD, but I can’t mix and match different brand vacuums or attachments. I do use all my Dyson attachment tools on all the Dyson vacuums they fit.. but I can’t for example use my Kenmore canister tools on my Simplicity Wonder.. LOL I’m a freak I guess? 
Thanks for sharing!
