New Vacuum: Riccar Commercial 8925

Very temporarily mine is this Riccar commercial vacuum. But if all goes according to plan, I will be going to work Monday with this and coming home with the Sanitaire widepath commercial vac I did a quick video on, which is something I would desire compared to not having much interest in a Riccar. I find it kind of depressing that all this vac is really, is a beefed-up Panasonic. In my opinion, Panasonic is near the bottom of the list as far as quality goes in vacuums. So even though Simplicity, Riccar, and Miele have a great repuation of being sturdy powerful vacs, I am uneasy about spending the big bucks they are valued at for what is basically a Panasonic I wouldn't value over $50. Like with my Miele; had I known it was a Panasonic copy and a BOL at that, I wouldn't have paid over $25 for it, let alone his original price of $50.
