I have checked out all the standard vacuum then, tried a Simplicty vacuum.  It worked pretty good!.  I just have never heard of it.  Any opinions?????
Thanks

Looked at a Simplicity today Feb 9th.  It was very impressive.  Moved like a self propelled but was not.  Salesperson very knowledgable.  Gave great promises about service every six months free of labor charges.  Four year waranty.  Price $450 which included extra hose and tools  Think we are going to buy one.

The one I tried out was the maroon one with the lower moter power. I was pleased with it's ability to pick up animal hair so easily and my 6yr and I really ground in rice cereal in with our feet and it vacuumed up really nicely.  It cost was $359.00 with trade in and a 2 yr warrenty.  Maintanence sounded very reasonable.  Ex if a barring in the motor was to go, he could repair it with labor cost for about $30.00.  Compared to the filters for the bagless I just returned were $70.00 and you usually need 2 a year!!!!! Also in the Simplicity they can make repairs to the motor.  The out "throw aways" you have to buy a new vacuum.
