Here's an interesting question for the citizens of Vacuumland: In the 1990's, Sharp uprights were rated as very good performers by Consumer Reports. They were known for their really low noise levels and smart positioning of the cord hooks high up on the units. Why did Sharp stop selling vacs in North America? Any ideas out there? Same for Korea's Samsung. Their power nozzle canisters were rated really well by Consumer Reports and the design of these units was really kewl. I think PeteK has one (or is it aeolianDave?). They were in the stores for a few years, and now they are nowhere to be found. Zilch. Klum. Not one. Why? What happened to them? | ||

As far as I am aware, Sharp got out of the vacuum business altogether. Sanyo is apparently getting out of it, as well... Samsung vacuums are still available in Canada. They are distributed through Hibbert Wholesale for sale to independant vacuum stores... See the following link for their current product line. CLICK HERE TO GO TO piano_god's LINK | ||

Samsung vacuums in the UK
My Mum had the Samsung SU2920 upright for a while until my brother blew it up. Not a bad performing machine at all but messy with the filters. They usually needed cleaning once a month (an improvement on cleaning filters after every use at least) to maintain performance. It had a good brushroll and a nice long hose and wasn't too heavy either.
