Simplicity has had the Jack and Jill compact and subcompact, respectively, canisters for a while. They introduced a TOL compact with a power nozzle called Snap. I went to the vacuum museum/outlet store to pick up my central vac for the garage and to buy a vacuum for a friend who lost his job and house and needed a good vacuum for his apartment. I had picked out the Snap cuz I trust Simplicity and it would be pretty affordable at the outlet. I used it on the floor and liked it so much I bought one for my collection, too. Lots of features: variable speed, HEPA filter, Hi-flow HEPA bag, long hose with PN switch on the handle, steerable compact PN with three lights. Color is metallic purple called "Grape Soda". I couldn't resist. Here are the pics:

Except for the the central vac in the garage, here is my updated complete Simplicity/Riccar collection. I don't think I'll get anything else for a while unless they come out with a new model or I come upon one of the TOL clean-air uprights for a really low price.
There are other vacuums in this pic, of course; I didn't wanna bring them outta the line for their own exclusive pic. Sorry, lazy... :) |

I think the compact power nozzle is great. This is my first experience with it. It cleans about like a Miele 217, which is excellent for a smaller PN.
BTW, if you want to replace your Kenmore with the Riccar version of the Snap, it's called the Pizzazz. The color is Caribbean Blue. Link to its page below. CLICK HERE TO GO TO sleepdoc's LINK |

You know no individual vacuum gets much of a workout in my house. I can tell u now from testing it that it works really impressively. However, I went shopping for the Snap for a friend, my own being being an unplanned purchase cuz I liked it so much. Vic has a shedding dog and lives in an apartment with wood floors and nice area rugs. This is his only vacuum, so the reviews we get from him will reflect actual use. Of course, I'll share them with you.
