From reading the the recent thread here on vacuum displays, I was wondering about another topic. Which stores allow customers to try out vacuums now? Which ones did in the past?
Of course most stores in the US that specialize in vacuums would allow demonstrations. As far as department and big box stores, the first one that comes to mind is Sears. The department is carpeted also. The odd thing is, I have never seen anyone trying a vacuum out there, but some of the bagless uprights on display show evidence of being used. I was allowed to try the clearance Kenmore Progressive canister I bought also. Other than Sears, I don't know if any other stores here allow this. It is pretty evident from the design of many displays that the vacuums cannot be demonstrated. While I was referring mostly to US stores in my examples, it would be great if our members from other countries could give their input as well! | ||

Sears is the only one that I know of that lets you try them. A lot of stores actually zip tie the vacuums to the shelves so you can't take them down. If there is something that I'm interested in at a store that doesn't tie them down I'll usually pull it down and mess with it, but there's usually not an outlet around.
I was at Menards once debating on buying my LG Kompressor and a worker came up to me and said that I could take it down and a find an outlet if I wanted to try it. I actually did end up buying it too. | ||

Here in Canada, if you walk into Future Shop, you can try their vacuums out there. At my particular store, they have some very thin commercial style carpeting in the aisle the vacuums are located. And if my memory serves correctly, I do believe Eaton's & The Bay stores in Canada allowed you to try out their vacuums as well.
