...because Americans are bred to be materialistic, money grubby fools.
There are people here, amongst us, who literally think that the more expensive something is, the better the quality must be compared to other similar products. That's crazy. The marketers of the Sebo and Miele products are just feeding into that market. Speaking of ridiculous. There are tacky stainless steel side by side refrigerators listed at $8,000.00. And apparently, there are baby boomers with money to burn, desperate to play classism games, that think they are somehow better if they purchase the crap. It makes me laugh. | ||

Shrink1982 - Not sure which model you're looking for.
Maybe try doing a worldwide search on Ebay. I've bought items from abroad and the shipping wasn't too bad. Took a little longer to get here, but, that's how it goes. Here's one for only $34 shipping and quite reasonable for the vac, too. Only thing is, make sure you clarify what the voltage is AND if it can easily be adapted to work here. Sometimes all you need is a simple plug adapter, other times it's a transformer set up. CLICK HERE TO GO TO delaneymeegan's LINK on eBay

Its the same for us with American brands
To be fair though -ORECK uprights in the UK are over priced, so its not as if WE Brits are getting an American bargain.
U.S Dirt Devil stuff we get passed through as Vax products that are ALSO cheaper in the U.S as well as several Eureka vacs also badged as AEG or Zanussi. Kitchenaid mixers are pretty popular worldwide. Yet the one listed on Amazon.com in red costs £134 equivalent to the $199 quoted at the American site. In the UK the starter price is £299 - equivalent currently to $443-24

Kirby vacuums cost 3800€ here in the Finland. Kirbys are sold by door to door salesmans so maybe you can get it a bit cheaper if you are very good negotiator. That's insane! In contrast Miele C2 Complete Ecoline cost 139€! | ||
