"If you need peak carpet-cleaning ability, Riccar/Simplicity is bound to get mentioned alongside old standbys like Royal, Kirby and Sanitaire, and rightly so."
I will agree with that. I did some performance testing with a few of my high end uprights the Kirby and sanitaire took the top spots. I feel that there is no beating a direct air machine when it comes to the deep cleaning of carpets, both of the tacony uprights still did very well and that simplicity 7 is probably my most powerful bypass upright. I'm really looking forward to the dual stage motor returning to the vibrance/symmetry series. and again these pads are from my Kirby demo tool they are what the kirby picked up After the machine. |

Tom, I'm curious as to why he shouldn't 'waste' his money?
To the OP Rob, as far as modern vacuums go, there is no better cleaning upright and better value for dollar spent than a Tacony Tandem Air product, regardless if it is Simplicity Synergy/Synchrony, Riccar Radiance/Brilliance or Maytag M1200. I will say right now, If you can find a local dealer that sells the Maytag vacuums that just came out, the M1200 will be the best value until the new tandem MV lineup comes out. It has the longer hose, the longer cord, the same warranty, it just doesn't have the VIP/Redcarpet porgrams. |

We did have a lot of fun. We actually had VCCC By-laws (no alcohol at the meetings, no children unaccompanied by parents, every dime taken in was spent on mailing and printing newsletters, etc.) One of the 'unwritten' rules was the $15 max on a vac sale during the convention. The conventions were about sharing information and machines. Not about "look what I got and you don't", or "Look what I got on eBay". Those were the old days and this is now. If you long for the 'old days' conventions, come to the Convention we have at the Museum every June. I remember the Electrolux - I laughed my rear end off over that one. Had a new switch at home and just replaced it once I got there.
I have All-Clad for daily cooking, but use my Guardian Service in the summer when it's hot. The secret to Guardian Service was the tri-pans, and the fact you could cook three different foods, over low heat, on ONE burner. Best cookware ever invented, but it was a pain to keep the aluminum shined up. I've baked many pies on top of my stove in the Dutch Oven you gave me. |
