Well, Tacony is finally coming out w/ a new Midsize canister. This is a vacuum cleaner that will be unique, which means no other brand(other than Riccar and Simplicity) will have it. This was not true of the previous midsize canisters.
The Midsize canister will have design features of their much successful fullsize canisters. They are continuing w/the power nozzle that performs very well on carpeting.
What is new is that their motor warranty is a big 7yrs like Miele. The general warranty on this canister is still longer though.
Filtration is now better on this machine as compared to the S18, S20, S24/R1500S, 1500M, 1500P.
