No biggie. My first observation about the machine was that the two screws holding the handle together had machine threads, not wood screws going into plastic like on some other brands.

Something that was long needed on a lightweight upright.

I went over the rugs in my corporate apartment with this after months of using another very good machine. After 3 sessions of vigorous vacuuming, I managed to fill up 1/4 of the bag.

I have an F3700, the older style TOL machine with the permanent belt and metal brush roll. I LOVE that vacuum! So light and yet it cleans so amazingly. I'd rank its performance right under the tandem air machines. The dual motor setup gives the TA machines a bit more power so I'd say they do a little better, but for such a light vacuum you couldn't ask for more.

Maybe I can change fans to the new type next time I need one. I am very careful, but a penny did one is PDQ. |

How well does the fancase in these Riccar/Simplicity vacuums hold up?I have seen Oreck fans go thru the coin test OK-but their fancase gets busted!It didn't matter if the Oreck had the metal or plastic fan. |

Tom, do you happen to know the test results of the Simplicity Freedom Premium model S10P versus say a Kirby Sentria? |

I think that's an excellent idea, considering this thread is about the Simplicity S10P. And believe me, I said that with a smile and without malice. |

How does it compare to a Eureka Bravo & Powerline & Hoover Elite, Legacy & Soft & Light? |

Seven years ago, it was the hottest puddle in the sand at that time. Will have to look at the new Premium model. Maybe a trade is in order. |

I have the TOL Freedom (had the TOL Riccar RSL5 but gave it to my friend Jonathan when he moved), and even the older design with HEPA bags didn't leak at all. I suppose the new ones are even better, but I never had an issue even before the improvements were introduced. The TOL lightweights with the metal brushrolls are amazing.

Riccar premium in red and Simplicity premium in electric blue. Stunning machines with the metal brush rolls and replaceable bristles, along with lifetime belt. Truly the top of the line

The new models are truly stunning. We stock the Simplicity at work and my favorite demo is where I turn the unit on and let the unit pull itself across the floor. Not even an Oreck can do that. |

That is the best demo! The agitation on these machines is truly top notch. |

I would love to get my hands on one of the lightweight uprights from Tacony. The only vacuum I have is a straight-suction Dirt Devil canister (link below) while there are carpets in my house. Sometimes, my father lends me his bagless Bissell upright for the carpets, but I don't trust the machine much. In a thread I posted about my Dirt Devil, some people suggested that I get a turbo brush for my canister, but do any of you believe that even an entry model Freedom/Supralite upright would outperform a TTI canister with a turbo brush from Wessel werk or my father's Bissell? Should I get a Freedom or a Supralite if I had enough money?
