Though I don't own a vacuum store, two store only brands I would recommend based on personal experience are Sebo and Riccar. Both are very durable and easy to work on. Another brand I've heard a lot about is the Italian made Lindhaus. Pretty much the Kirby of plastic vacuum, but still very durable. For the cheaper brands, you might look into selling manufacturer refurbished vacuum. These will often be the same vacuum that they see at Target or Walmart, but a bit cheaper.

I always get asked about dysons, and how much they are, and where to get them. Seems people in the UK love dysons. If its not dysons people ask me about, it's mieles. Then again I don't know what people are like over there! |

I would go with Simplicity, Royal, Lindhaus, Miele, Sanitaire, Hoover, Panasonic, possibly Cirrus, Windsor Versamatic. Also the Perfect canister. For Royal I would do their Everlast series, shampooer and power head canister like Lexon SR30020. Putting their Windtunnel designed commercial unit, you might as well just have the actual Hoover Windtunnel series commercial and residential units out.
Central is something I would hope you'd eventually as well. Riccar kits, MD kits, Beam, Allegro, there are many many companies to choose from for vacuum units and attachment kits. You can pick and choose models from each company to suit. Panasonic has a good mix of performance, and durability at fair price with power team canisters, uprights and commercial. Hoover is redoing much of their line to have several new models appearing over time. Their bagged power nozzle canisters are great, Commercial Conquests sell great. Windtunnel T bagged series has a very nice bag disposal system. Try to find the units that aren't found on display in big box stores such as the Hoover Windtunnel Anniversary canister, commercial lines, some Steamvacs, and new stuff. Lindhaus makes powerful cleaners that are built well. Primarily geared towards commercial, their systems are sealed with terrific filtration I would go with them over Sebo. Sebo's don't do well in mind. They are built well but cleaning performance across several lines is a far cry away from power received in a Simplicity, Riccar, Miele, Lindhaus or other. The suction and cleaning performance of Simplicity canister blows socks off TOL Sebo with ET-1 head. Sanitaires still have a great commercial line up. Mieles are great machines. Tacony owned Riccar & Simplicity are made in the U.S.A, they are powerful well built machines with great profit margin, excellent performance, easy to get parts. Their lightweight uprights will outclean most if not all Oreck lightweight machines. Dyson is one of those that you may just have to carry to please those customers that want bagless. For bagless its the best design on the market. Their cleaning performance as seen on numerous youtube videos is surpassed by many other machines but some people just feel that Dyson is the top and their mind is set in concrete. Bissell, Dirt Devil and Eureka are all big box stores. You can get a Bissell for $40 at WalMart, so selling that in a dealership just doesn't work to take up floor space for that. Newer Eurekas are nothing like they were years ago, the new line up with exception of Boss Smartvac and the classic Boss 1934 upright, is otherwise unimpressive. I hope this is helpful to you. |
