What happened to Tacony is what has happened to most of the vacuum world. Most mainstream companies have had no choice but to move production to cheaper locales. The problem is that American consumers no longer expect more because they have commoditized vacuums. Where once they were considered an expensive appliance like a water heater or fridge and were expected to last accordingly, now they are throwaway items to be replaced at most once every 5-10 years. People seem to complain a lot about how long they last, but they sure don't BUY better. They only care that they see a jazzy design and flashbang technology features.
Gone are the days of 70 year old Electroluxes and Kirby's for most people. And it is the fault of the buying public. If they wanted better, the market would respond. Just my 2 cents.
