By the way, has anyone seen the Karcher household canisters? I saw them online, but not in the USA, at least yet. I also saw two models of the SEBO Felix in yellow, can't remember if they were Tornado or Karcher. Was Karcher with Tornado at one time? Or are/were they simply buying the same/similar machines and having them labeled? Karcher and Tornado share many machines in common...can't say I've ever seen a felix with either label though. I have seen the Felix under the Windsor label, who also share many machines with Sebo, Karcher and Tornado. Dusty http://www.windsorind.com/ViewCategories.aspx?Pid=145

Tornado and Karcher were partners in the North American market until Tornado was sold to Tacony in February 2007. Some machines are still made for Tornado by Karcher, but only a handful compared to what it once was. In April 2007, Karcher then purchased Castle Rock Industries, including its Windsor brand.

Carmine, I respect your 50 plus years in the vacuum industry, and the decades you supported a family and supplied gainful employment for others so they could likewise support their families, but I do not worship you, sorry. Admired aquaintance and fellow vac enthusiast you are, hero, no, but then I don't think you are the sort of man who requires or desires hero worship anyway, (OK with your grandkids, I'll cut you a little slack  ) Trebor
Hello Trebor:
Thank you for your kind words. My dear Wife is quick to remind me that even the star struck look in my granddaughters' eyes will fade with time and I should enjoy it while it lasts. Which I intend to do by taking everyone to Disneyland next week for the week. Carmine D.
