Review of Simplicity Symmetry

This is another bagged, upright vacuum built by the Simplicity Company. Simplicity’s vacuums feature extended bumper to bumper warranties, HEPA bags, and metal construction where it most matters.

In the Symmetry series, there are a few different models to choose from. As the features increase, so does the price.

The warranty starts at 3 full years’ parts and labor for the classic series and a 4 year bumper to bumper warranty for the Deluxe, the Standard, and the Premium models.

Simplicity Symmetry Recommendations:

Simplicity is a vacuum name that is well respcted and has a loyal following. The manufacturer obviously feels it is making a superior product based on the long warranties offered. This is a very good indication of quality and reliability.

Parts for the Simplicity are available only through independent vacuum dealers. The nice thing about the brushroll is it has replaceable strips; this feature saves you money because you don’t have to replace more expensive parts.
