Forum - Another New Cyclonic Upright

johncainltd Senior Member been collecting vacuums since I was 3. Owned 76+ Posts: 129	Re: Another New Cyclonic Upright Reply #110 - 11/17/06 at 12:27pm Just saw the Infinity last night at Best Buy for the first time. On both models, the wand/handle assembly would not come out of the machine when the latch release was pushed. The belt started slipping when I lowered the brush onto the low pile carpeting. Decent suction, though.

I am finally seeing the commercials for Euro Pro's Infinity upright. I have not seen the commercial for the Bissell Healthy Home yet.

I was surprised to see a commercial for the Kenmore Progressive canisters last week. I thought "Wow"! It has been too long.

It seems that there have been a flurry of vacuum cleaner commercials lately, even Dyson.

Holiday Season sales 2006. Alot of new vacuums will be sold by year end. First for presents and gifts and then to clean up the mess after the holidays and before the New Year.

The commercials may have been on the Food Network, which I watch too often!

I have not had any problems releasing the telescopic wands from the handle holster and/or extending and contracting the wands. Both wand release buttons (holster and extension) worked fine on the Infinity models I've tested so far.

However, I noticed that you have to really force the wands back into the handle holster with some umpf to ensure they are secure and lock in place. There is a small square nub on the bottom wand that engages and disengages the wands from the vacuum with the wand release button. I suspect the extra force needed to holster the wands is intentional to ensure the wands are locked into the handle holster. When users lift and move the vacuum by the handle grip the wands will remain locked in place in the handle holster and will not come apart from the vacuum.

I saw the purple BISSELL Velocity at Target today. It sells for $129. Like all the new bagless vacuums coming to market in the USA, it is "multi" cyclonic too and claims to sustain constant suction and keep the filters clean.

This Target store (in North Las Vegas) also has the teal E-P Infinity upright for $219. The most expensive bagless upright is the dyson DC17 Absolute Animal for $549, not displayed but boxed on the shelf. The DC16 is displayed and the price is $149.

I saw the Euro Pro Vacs this weekend at Target. They had two models a red one and a green one. I don't remember what the price was on the Red one, I believe it was $199, and the green one was $249.

At first glance it was small compared to the machine it was copied from. Unfortunately the way Target displays their vacs it is hard to really get you hands on one of them for a test ride, or to give it a lift.

My first impression was that it was, of course, plastic and the hoses connecting the collection chamber to the rug nozzle seemed a little flimsey. All in all I think the machine will fill a space for lower cost bagless vacs. I guess only time will tell, but it didn't look very durable to me, and judging from previous Euro Pro products; I myself would be leery.
