Why are the prices for European vacuums so much less in the EU than North America? Is the EU providing Subsidies or they subject to tariffs or a combination of both? | ||

One German vacuum manufacturer, when they opened a headquarters in New Jersey decades ago, decided to position their machine as a Premium cleaner, decided to sell through vac shops, and allowed the shops to double their money, so a $500 machine at wholesale becomes a $1000 machine at retail. Ironic, in Europe, this machine costs less at retail than a Dyson. People in Europe don't tend to buy their vacuums from a vacuum repair shop that doubles or triples the wholesale cost to make a very high profit.

Dysons are priced similarly in the US than they are in the UK and the rest of Europe. German vacuum cleaners tend to be more expensive due to a combination of what is mentioned above and also the US still has ridiculous tariffs imposed on Germans manufactured goods which stem back to the roaring 20's when alcohol was banned and German brewers were hit. Nothing really to do with the EU.

Some of the US machines Mostly those sold door to door have a 300-400% mark up. The vac shop brands may not be as high, but you know they have a very good sized margin.

Interesting, eventually the canisters will be made with all American parts. Why is this? It's great news. | ||

Buying a vacuum from a Vacuum Cleaner Shop (repair and sales) is a wise choice. The repair shops don't sell vacuums that they cannot repair. And the person selling the machine has experience with them, and can answer questions. The entry level models tend to be good vacuums, for example, Tacony makes no machines that don't clean well, no matter what price.

My vac shop dealer in Houston......... He finally gave up that certain German brand when the company rep started harassing him for selling other brands that were specifically positioned to compete with the pricey "Uber" vacuums. The company rep had a particular problem with the dealer wanting to sell Sebo and Tacony machines. | ||
