Steve, I do hate to have to say this, but I think this is fancy language for saying these full sized canisters are being discontinued :(. It makes sense to me, though....let's be realistic, the design is over 10 years old, they are heavy, & the full size canisters have some design issues that have since been changed & corrected on the Prima/Wonder line.
Now, let's hope that Tacony introduces a new design to replace them, so consumers wanting a full size canister with the additional features like hose handle controls still have Simplicity/Riccar as a choice in today's marketplace. I, for one, really like my Simplicity Gusto, & would be sad if it died tomorrow. And I also hope that the Tandem Air powerhead is introduced as a option, that would be really nice to see! Rob |

I also like my simplicity gusto, perhaps Tom can tell us if this line of canisters is being discontinued, the Prima and Wonder is also a great machine. If they are discontinued, hopefully the bags will be available for some time. Mike |

Mike, I don't think the bags will be discontinued. Those bags fit quite a number of Riccar & Simplicity models made since 2000, so they have reason to keep them around, or face the wrath of angry owners.
Speaking of the Gusto, though, look what I found tonight. Some clever vac shop owner has made the Gusto into a backpack vacuum! I hope he answers the comment & tells us whether this is made by Tacony, or it is custom made. Rob CLICK HERE TO GO TO kirbylux77's LINK |
