So, my new Maytag M1200 came today and I just used it in two rooms I vacuumed two nights ago. I was quite surprised at how much dirt, dust and cat hair it got out of the carpet. My family room rarely gets used and has relatively new carpet. Not to mention, my cat passed away in 2014. The living room gets more use and it got a lot out of that carpet but again, I just vacuumed two days ago with my Sebo D4 Premium. We don't wear shoes in our house, there are no pets and no kids. I was really surprised how much came up.
Some first impressions. The vacuum is solid and pretty heavy. I am actually quite surprised how heavy it is. I would say it is nearly as heavy as the Kirby. One thing I noticed, it is difficult to push the vacuum on carpets unless the brush roll height is up pretty high - too high to really groom the carpet. It did hurt my back pushing it. Also, the bags are TINY. I laughed when I pulled the bag out. It is so small. Any smaller and it would fit in a handheld. This isn't really a problem for me because it means there will be less dirt and dust fermenting in my vacuum in between bag changes. The height adjustment dial is difficult to turn and feels like it could fail. I put some salt in my carpet and it agitated it very well. It was bouncing quite high, just like the HSN demo. I am pleased it came with 12 bags and replacement filters. Most vacuums only come with one bag nowadays. I doubt I will use it on hard floors simply given a canister is easier for this. I haven't tried the tools yet but will provide my opinion when I do so. |

I think the new Tandem-Air power nozzle for the Prima is the most awesome power nozzle I've ever used. That thing takes OFF, and really is super easy to push. It beats the holy hell out of the carpet, making every speck of sand jump to the surface. I believe it will change canister vacuums as we know it. The factory in St. James is so excited - they are gearing up to begin production June 6. They've been doing a lot of testing on the individual components of the new Tandem-Air nozzle - my friend Brenda in Quality Control was feeding rolls and rolls of quarters into a rig which shot them directly into the running fan blades of the new nozzle's motor. Ever seen a bent quarter? I hadn't until I saw it with my own eyes. There's a good distance between the new fan's blades - allowing debris like cereal to pass between the blades when the motor is OFF for bare floor cleaning - without getting hung up on the blades. I cannot wait to show the Vacuum Collectors at the Convention in June. The best part is that the collectors can get to see them being made, as well as see them in the Testing Labs going through their life and cleaning ability testing stages.

Also, how would you describe the noise level of the tandem-air power nozzles? |

I think dirty air power nozzles for canisters is an awesome idea. Cansiters don't have the air flow of a lot of uprights which means they don't clean as well. I prefer switching between canisters and uprights as I get bored with the same old thing. However, my SEBO D4 Premium just doesn't clean carpets as well as the Maytag. In terms or canisters, it is one of the best, but it really is limited unless one has very low pile carpet.
