Hey me, it's me, the person who gave you that site. I don't own a
Simplicity, but in this months CR, they have the "biggest test ever" of
vacuums and the Simplicty upright vacuums are rated number one in the
"more repairs" catagory. Not good news I'm sure.

FWIW, In the ratings charts, they are also listed as "Riccar". The
Simplicity Freedom F3500 (Also known as a Riccar Supralite RSL3) came
in at number 8 in the ratings and retails for $350.

Hi how are you doing?

Well I did go look at the Simplicity units at local
dealer

They are what I want as far as being simple units with
no tools but I also saw the CR report you mention above
and was concerned they placed dead last in reliability.

have any idea what's up with that?

Also.... why are Riccar and Simplicity placed together?
Are they made by same manufacturer?

I'm on the verge of buying one but the CR ratings have
me a bit spooked. hence the recent post
