For those in the know......
Lindhaus is premium stuff..... It's NOT in WalMart. A mass market campaign wouldn't make any sense. Most of the top tier makers rely on their in-store demos. Most of the indie vac shops I know of will fix all makes, but sell things like Miele, Lindhaus, Sebo, Panasonic, Riccar, Royal..... the better stuff.
You can usually spot a cheap crappy vacuum by the styling. Those are all flash and no substance. Lindhaus gear always resembles its commercial counterpart.
I hate batteries, so it's not for me. I do all my sweeping in 1 day, with my central vac.
