Simplicity Brio
$199.99
Product details
The Simplicity Brio skips a powered brush roll entirely, relying on straight airflow to lift debris, which makes it especially strong on hard floors and low-pile rugs where a spinning brush would only scatter what it is supposed to collect. The tank itself is stainless steel rather than molded plastic, giving the machine more heft and durability than most home canisters at this price point. A 40 foot cord and a 7 foot hose give it real reach from one outlet, twin 18 inch aluminum wands cover the floor-to-ceiling span, and the whole machine runs under 50 dBA, quiet even by canister standards.
Bags for the Brio are Simplicity's SBCH-3 cloth disposables, sized at two gallons apiece and sold three to a pack, and every machine leaves the shop with two of those packs already included at no charge. On a straight-suction design like this one, the bag is essentially the only wearable part in the airflow path, so six spare bags is enough to carry most households well past a full season before a reorder is needed.
Skipping the brush roll simplifies maintenance considerably, since there is nothing spinning to tangle with hair or string and wear out over time. The flip side is that carpet performance depends entirely on suction rather than agitation, so the Brio shines on hard surfaces and thin rugs but will not out-clean a power-nozzle machine on deep-pile carpet. A home split between hardwood and thick carpet should weigh that trade-off before buying, since no amount of motor strength substitutes for a brush roll on plush carpet fibers.
