According to the rep, a new version of the ball is due late this year. I'd guess just in time for Christmas.

Re: Royal Crown Signature Series by XXX

How good are they? They are better (imo) than most of the current batch of Panasonic uprights. Metal agitators and skid plates, good suction and hardly ever a problem with the motors. We've sold the Carpet Pro for years commercially, the property companies like them because they are relatively inexpensive, cheap to maintain and quiet. Like most things, if you look after it, it will last. Dusty

The Carpet Pro and the Fuller vacuums are both made for and marketed by Tacony

Re: Bagless vs. Bagged

Independent vacuum store brands are still bagged. This will probably not change in the future. Consumer Reports and other industry sources like the Carpet and Rug Institute still taut the benefits of bagged brands over bagless, not just for health and safety reasons but for convenience too.
With the exception or our Dysons, all the canister and upright vacs we carry are all bagged and it's the way we like it. Much of our business is from customers who have purchased bagless vacs from the box stores and have given up on them and are looking for a bagged vacuum. The box stores can have all the bagless they can handle, in the end it's great for my business. Dusty

Re: Oreck vs: Other Lightweight Uprights (At last a NO DYSON thread!)

I would say Oreck wins the under $300 title while the high end goes to the Riccar SL5 with it's metal agitator and lifetime belt. One thing I have noticed with our customers is that the majority of female shoppers prefer the feel of the Riccar unit and especially the handle (SL3's and up) over the Oreck D grip.
