They are discontinuing the Simplicity 7850. He did not have any.
PR-21 ON another note, he had a new Air-Way canister. Totally different than the originals. I told him Air-Way was out of business. He said the owner bought the Air-Way name. The logo on the vacuum was exactly the Air-Way logo. The owner of the shop had this built to his specs. Red in color, variable speeds. Didn't really study it too well as I was looking for the 7850. Guess it will be one of the TOL Symmetry models... |

Hi Rob,
The owner of Kirkwoods did buy the name and they have a central vac with the Air Way name, plus a canister model. The canister had a power nozzle and was in an extremely nice red metallic color. It had push button variable speed control on the canister itself. I didn't look too much closer at it to tell the truth. It is nice to have the name carry on in my opinion. Hopefully the owner will design more vacs with the Air Way name. Bud PR-21 |

Now that the model 7850 you told me got discontinued does the current top clean air model which has a serpentine belt also have a two stage motor like the 7850 does? I'll still recommend it to a friend who is getting a new vacuum (I went to recommend the 7850 until it got discontinued) however I personally would like to know more about it also so I know what to tell my friend. Thank you very much for the info. |

The 7850 is still available. There are more than 200 in the warehouse. If you want one, now is the time to buy one.
The two fan motor, as used in the models 7850 and 8955, is available in the Symmetry model S20P (the P is for Premium). That model will not be available until the VDTA launch (VDTA stands for Vacuum Dealer Trade Association convention in Vegas in Feb.) |

Tom, thanks for the update and your generous offer. I actually bought the Symmetry Premium in the new color Grass Green since Kirkwoods didn't have the 7850's. They also didn't have the Premium in stock, so I bought it off of Simplicity's website.
Sorry for not replying sooner, but I was on the fence between the Symmetry and the 7850. I had a Riccar 8955 but gave it to my niece for a wedding(maybe Xmas) present. I know how great of a machine it was and that is why I thought of the 7850. Especially after your high recommendations of the 7850 earlier this year. I ran the Symmetry with the belt protection in the vacuum shop. It ran very well, but I wanted the Premium with tools. $599.00 on the website. I like the new grass green color. Sincerely, PR-21 |

Call Tom Gasko at the Tacony Vacuum Cleaner Museum he might be able to sell you one .
This machine is the TOL model I absolutely am VERY impressed with this new Simplicity . The machine might be heavy I guess but not for me I'm an X Linebacker so I really can't tell . It's VERY powerful I LOVE the long stretch hose it reaches everywhere . I LOVE the lifetime belt . A quality AMERICAN built vacuum by an amazing company . It's identical to the Riccar just a bit of styling differences seperate them . I love Simplicity's carry handle better and the color looks WAY better in person . It's way quieter than the 7850 and seems more powerful and the new bag change is super easy and I love the cloth type bags they filter Really well . Dan |
