Nice. You bought a quality product that you like, it's made in the USA and you purchased it through a small local business. The kind of story I love to hear - a win/win/win.
I have a Riccar, which apparently is made by the same people with a different label. Best vacuum we've owned, and that's important to us since we have a couple of dogs. Never clogs the way the bagless models do. And we also bought ours through a small local vacuum repair/sales shop.
