One thing I noted was the noise level-seems very quiet. Quieter than I thought in previous videos. I struggled to hear the power nozzle. Others have seemed critical of it, but I don't know why. |

They seem like they are to me. I'm not sold on the tandem air nozzle though. It's so bulky that it would feel like an upright to me. I have had uprights for years and the whole purpose of switching to canister is to get under furniture. |

One thing I don't understand about Tacony is why their power nozzles need a pigtail cable at the power nozzle when it is direct connect? |

except for a couple of things, which are minor actually.
1. I can imagine putting the dusting brush on and that big huge handle getting in the way when trying to use the dusting brush in tight places. 2. I wish that when you disconnedted the wand from the nozzle, that the floor tool was ON BOARD for quick access. |

Thanks for that info. I never thought of that. I suppose it isn't that big of a deal, it doesn't affect the speed of use at all. |

LOL... I know what you mean. Almost no manufacturer places the bare floor tool on the machine anymore. It's hard to find that feature anymore. |

In person that vacuums pretty loud especially compared to the other Vacuums in the price range. It's quieter than a Kenmore a Dyson or something like that.
But it's a pretty quirky awkward machine. That guy does a great demo kind of like Criss Angel. But the end of the day remember that its sales propaganda. Once you try the other machines in that price point you'll see why this one was just not ready for Todays Market. Tacony is pulling YouTube videos that are bad reviews of it , that's reality. |

I completely agree with you on having the cord on the outside of the powerhead neck. As you said above, if the neck breaks, the chances of the powerhead cord being in good condition & being able to be re-used are much higher.
As for the wiring not being so well protected when enclosed in a powerhead neck, I can totally see that, & how a manufacturer would therefore consider a powerhead neck a wear & tear item. Two single wires enclosed in a plastic neck would see more wear & tear to the wires over time, than a powerhead cord on the outside with insulation & a rubber casing. In fact, what boggles my mind is why the manufacturers haven't made each wire like a regular cord with insulation & rubber casing inside the neck. This would solve the problem of the wires breaking entirely, & make the end product much more reliable. Rob |

It's important to me because even though the wand system can be locked to stand by itself, it is still at risk to fall over if bumped accidentally. This can cause damage to the home, furniture, or machine. I think a parking spot is important for that reason. It's just a preference of mine. |
