I think I'm going to go with either the riccar brilliance or the simplicity synchrony. I've got two local dealers. One told me that they'd take a trade in and knock off $200. I didn't know Vacuum sales were like car sales
. What kind of prices are you guys seeing for these models?
Is $200 off retail pricing good?Good choices. Either one. The Simplicity is probably less in price than the RICCAR.
Depends on the original asking price. Look at it this way, Kohl's is selling the dyson DC07 All Floors [dyson's oldest and the cheapest upright] for $399 on sale. Plus a buyers' discount of 10-15-20-30 percent off depending on your mailer discount. My dear Wife got the 30 percent off. So theoretically she can purchase the $400 dyson for $280. That's a discount of $120 from MSRP.
Now compare that sale price to the MSRP on the RICCAR/Simplicity models that you are looking at. The RICCAR/Simplicity models you are choosing are the top of the line in upright vacuums bar none. You can't find better quality and performance in a vacuum than you will find in these brands and models regardless of what you may spend. Is $200 alot off in relation to the China-ville made dysons at $120 off? I don't think so. I think it's a competitive discount with the vacuum brands, models, and discounts at all the big box retailers. They are the primary competition for store brand top of the line vacuums.
Like Einstein said: It's all relative.
