From my understanding Tacony recently moved production of full sized canisters from Asia to Missouri. So technically, the "canisters" are American made. However, I too have seen those stickers and thought the same as you. I'm disappointed to hear the power nozzles are still foreign made. They should look into moving that sticker. |

Take a look at reply#3 on the thread I've linked. You can see on a brand new Riccar PN it's labeled "Made in the USA with globally sourced components". So it seems that all the parts are actually put together in Missouri. I wonder why everyone is seeing foreign-made models with USA stickers. Maybe the dealers are acting a bit shady?

The Full size Immaculate and Impeccable machines and the Simplicity counterparts are made here in the USA.
I was just at the factory and saw the body parts coming out of the injection mold presses. The power nozzles are made in the USA as well. Anything other than the full size canisters and the full size power nozzles are made elsewhere but are repackaged in the USA... The 1500's are not made anymore, but they were, in the end, packaged with American made power nozzles. Picture 1 is the guy drilling the press 'stump' off the body base for the full size canister, picture two is a PN being assembled and pic 3 is a box of scratched nozzle covers. |

If you want an American Made canister, it has to be a Gusto, Moxie, Impeccable, or Immaculate. The S24 is a long retired model, as is the 1500 series. All the Simplicity and Riccar uprights are made in the USA. Canister sales account for less than 5% of the total vacuum sales, it doesn't make sense to move all canister production to the factory in Missouri - there's limited room so it must be used for large selling models. All power nozzles are made in the USA.
