cool. looks like a really serious vacuum, Reggie. what will they sell for? how loud is it compared to a Hoover Concept? is that a Polaroid of you, Reggie, pasted to the side of the box? Swingette | ||

Its not quite as loud as a Concept, the exaust from the direct air motor goes into the bag chamber. Sounds like a smothered Concept really. The full price is $1399.95, with a minumum price of $999.95, not cheap. | ||

Congrats! I heard about the new Radiance with the pearl finish when I looked at Riccars a few months ago. Awesome! Riccar hasn't even updated their Web site to show this new model yet. I've been wanting a Radiance and may have to splurge. It's gorgeous. | ||

It's a great looking cleaner! Reggie, does this vacuum also have the two motors? One direct air and one clean air? I also like the combo tool ala the Lux combo tool. I really like the Riccar canisters too. Marty | ||

Reggie, does this vacuum also have the two motors? One direc Yes, it does. I think its a very interesting way of doing things, but it does have ton of power. I still can't get over the fact that they kept delaying it this long. | ||
