Maytag Vacuum Cleaners made in USA

I think it looks GREAT!

I've never been as much of a fan of uprights as I am canisters with PN's.......I love the way the bag change looks "Idiot proof" on this. All the bagged uprights I've ever owned in the past, the bag changing was a complete guessing game because of the way you had to push it on and hope it stayed.....

Talking of Maytag...

In the UK (where i live) we've only seen 2 Maytag vacuums, this weird re branded Hoover designed upright and the Maytag Satellite, which is basically a Hoover Constellation with Maytag slapped on it

I actually knew about this a couple weeks ago.  I had lunch with a friend who works at Whirlpool and she was saying that Maytag was getting ready for the new line. She wasn't sure if Whirlpool was going to carry the name or a line of vacuums but it maybe possible.

I like the look of it, Come on Tom post pics of the other models

I would love to post pics of the double fan, clean air upright, as well as the "Mo2or" (as in 2 motors) tandem air Maytags, but we are waiting on UL approval before starting the build process and all I have are the prototype pics of those two. Once we start building the other two, in production colors (prototypes are drab grey), I'll post them as soon as I can.

What about a canister?

 

[dysonman1]

Josh: the new canisters are wonderful. I'm sure they'll launch (become available) at the VDTA show, which is a great place to launch new technology. The new canisters are the same machine but in two different colors. One will come with straight suction tools (I think it's the green one) and one will come with an electric hose and electric wand. You'll buy a Compact or Full Size power nozzle to go with it. Like the way Miele does. It's an amazing vacuum. The best, FULL SIZE attachments available on vacuums that can be sold at vac shops. Brand new attachments, not before offered by Tacony. The straight suction rug tool is a combination of the Filter Queen model 500 rug nozzle, with an Apex Strato Cleaner rug nozzle but includes real edge to edge cleaning - this is for the straight suction cleaner. I'd say it almost cleans rugs as well as a power nozzle. The engineers really tested almost 100 different nozzles first, then made prototypes - and after two years, came up with something brand new but with the best parts of past rug tools. The new canister uses a copy of the Electrolux 1205's cord reel, which means it's reliable and repairable (easily). Plus it's quiet.
The prototype I use it butt ugly yellow, but that's the color that CAD designed rapid prototyping machines made. Production colors are mint green and electric blue for the power nozzle model. The new canister is replacing 4 canisters. It's very good. Many canister people will be buying the new canister. Available for sale about April, 2014

Wow

Those canisters sounds quite impressive, using past successful designs to make them better machines. That museum really does come in handy for the R+D team eh?

[GM1982]

[jkbff]

The M500 is available from dealers that signed up. We have the m1200 and m500 in our store!

 

[dysonman1]

The Maytag vacuums are currently available from many dealers. Any one would be happy to help you. I do not have a retail store and do not sell them.

I found 3 uprights on a vacuum site online. Are there any canisters? Thanks Tom!

 

[durango159]

The canisters sound neat. Will be neat to see. Tom, do you have a picture of the FilterQueen 500 rug nozzle? Being in FilterQueen sales it's neat to learn more about company history. I have a timeline of the tanks but no attachment sets. Thanks!!

Tom

Is there a website for the Maytag vacuums?

 

[jkbff]

the back of the vacuums say maytagvacuums.com but its not up yet and the new artwork hasn't been released yet..

We are still waiting for the middle machine to be released...


Tom, a curious question though, what are the new bags going to be lettered as? I'm trying to put together 'getting started' packets for our customers and need to know what type of bag to purchase.

Maytag Vacuums

I am currently shipping Maytag Vacuums, and have them in stock. E-mail me for more info. [email protected] these new machines are powerful and easy to use. If you like a hose attachment the M1200 Mo2or is very versatile. If you don't need a hose attachment the M500 9 pound vacuum is amazing!

I love the Mo2oR. That's the one I told Rob M. to buy. This machine is one great piece of vacuum cleaning engineering that is going to become a classic. I have both models in the museum. The M500 ultralight model is extraordinary. The new soleplate can clean frieze carpets without dragging or snowplowing through the long strands. The edge cleaning is 40% better than the old design. I love the new bag system. For everyone who says "bags are better", these are just as good as Miele bags. But a lot less expensive. They seal themselves and have a plastic collar. The Tandem-Air Mo2oR M1200 is by far my favorite new upright.
