Simplicity/Riccar, Sebo & Miele are all top of the line vacs. Find the one that best suits your needs and you'll be fine. We never seriously considered the Miele, Sebo was our second choice but settled on the Simplicity Synergy.
Went to Saugatuck Brewing Company for lunch today. I'm not really much of a beer drinker. Thought the Singapore IPA was okay but like both Founders and Bells much better. Food was good!
