Simplicity Symmetry Deluxe SYMDL.2 Upright Vacuum

This is my Simplicity Symmetry Deluxe upright vacuum, (which I believe to be from the late 2000s) model SYMDL.2 upright vacuum that was bought by my workplace to replace their base model (   • Simplicity Symmetry SYMCL.USA (S20e) Uprig...  ) that was very short lived, and this one is definitely a big upgrade over that one. The Symmetry is basically a late model version of the Simplicity 6000 series of vacuums sold years ago which were budget friendly models to their 7000 series which were TOL. Unlike my personal Symmetry (   • Simplicity Symmetry SYM.USAFS Upright Vacuum  ), this has a metal base plate to make the vacuum easier to glide on certain types of carpet, and also features a metal brush roll with replicable brush strips and also a clutch to turn the brush roll on and off for cleaning on bare floors. Riccar does make a similar model called the Vibrance which is mostly the same as the Symmetry, but the base is a little bit different in design compared to the Symmetry. It features a 12 amp single stage motor with clean air design and takes Riccar/Simplicity type A bags (this example is running genuine HEPA cloth bags that were provided by the previous owner). The suction great on this, but the airflow on this machine is not great, but the agitation is amazing (I would argue that makes up for the low airflow). I really don't have many complaints about this vacuum, but I do think it's a shame that Tacony killed off production of this vacuum back then as well as the Riccar variant, even the 2nd generation versions that came later. This is an excellent machine, and probably the last good upright that was made in the modern era.
