Very helpful in explaining the options on Simplicity model, one of which we had for over 10 years, and its successor, Riccar. Went with a new model Riccar. Gentleman provided great basic advice on the model features to make my decision.

They had my Dyson from 1/11/23 to 3/9/23 and said that because Dyson closed their stores in the Kansas City area, they had to wait for parts. When I asked for my vacuum back, they gave me a different Dyson. I corrected them noting that there was someone else’s name on it, then they returned with a different one with a name scratched out and mine written on it (mine was purple, they gave me a white one), that was after they offered me another vacuum and then offered to take parts off someone else’s. Two months for them to take parts off my vacuum and give me someone else’s appliance.Good if you want to buy a vacuum (large selection), just beware.

They had what I needed - bags for an older Kirby. The store itself is very full of supplies and vacuums. It's a good resource. Not sure on prices for used vacuums but they had plenty to choose from. If you wanted something for a tough job it seems like a good place to check.

Great place. I brought in a broken vacuum, and they reached out to manufacturer and got me a brand new vacuum. Would recommend!

This company had what I wanted a fan belt. But the old man that waited on me was hateful. Just because I made mistake about name of the vacuum and I had to ask for different belt . He said to me are you sure are you going to come again and again again too get it. I couldn't believe his mouth. But it might have been because I'm not white. There was no need for those words and hateful attitude. I won't be back there . But it doesn't surprise me .

Can’t say enough good things about this place! my puppy chewed up my vacuum cleaner cord, so I brought it to American vacuum. They had it ready for me the next morning! I’ve had so many vacuum cleaners just randomly go out on me. I’ll be using this place again in the future instead of throwing out my machine!

I bought a simplicity vacuum here about three months ago. It is the best vacuum that I have ever owned. The service is also friendly and they always have what I want, i.e. attachments and vacuum bags.

I came in to replace a belt on an old vacuum on its last legs. They ended up finding me a new vacuum that was within my budget and leaps and bounds above the old one! Having kiddos I’ve had a few clogs, and they’ve taken almost no time to repair it and get it back to new. They know what they’re doing, and sell and maintain high quality products; highly recommend!!!

I've been coming to American for as long as I can remember. It's literally the only place I go when it comes to buying a new vacuum or getting mine repaired. I know I can count on the owner Dave to always be here and to make sure I get what I came in for. When you find someone that you know you can trust for price and service you stay with them. There is only one place I go for my vacuum situation. I love this place.

American Vacuum has always been very prompt and fairly priced on all my vacuum repairs. The backpack vacuum I purchased from them has the best suction of any vacuum I use for Top Shelf Cleaning Co.

I was pretty excited when I picked up my "old" vacuum cleaner. He put it on his suction machine for comparison, and it works like new! I am someone who loves to make the old- new again from mending to repairing tools. It is so good to know that there are skilled craftsmen out there still to help with these older vacuums!Thank you American Vacuum.

I took in my Miele canister vac to see if they could fix it. It's an orange model geared towards pet owners. The vacuum had lost a considerable amount of its suction power probably due to the fact that I had forgotten to put a bag in it so the motor had been overworked. Anyways, about 2.5 weeks later I got a call to pick it up. I ran it long and hard all over my house vacuuming up cat fur when I got it back. The suction was pretty much back to its original power & the motor was no longer running hot. I'm not sure if they replaced the motor or just repaired the motor, but it seems to be running as good as new & the cost was incredible reasonable in my opinion especially compared to buying anything brand new. Buying anything brand new would have pushed my budget to the limit so I am. very grateful that they were able to repair the one I already had:)

Came in with w clogged Bissel vaccum. Had a warranty on it but I guess my warranty didn't cover unclogging it. They unclogged it free of charge! Super nice family

We have purchased two vacuums from American vacuum company, we used to buy which we thought were the top of the line Dyson vacuums which didn’t work that well, so we went to American vacuum company and purchased a Kirby which was very efficient and it picked up so much more dog hair than our Dyson ever did. Then we upgraded to the Riccar supralite which was an amazing vacuum and it blew our Dyson away and we were amazed on how much it actually picked up. It was the best vacuum we’ve ever had. The sales team at American vacuum company were outstanding, friendly and knowledgeable and picked the perfect vacuum for us. I have referred friends to go to American vacuum.Thanks Dave and Terri Bennett

Our purchase of a Hoover vacuum from this location was the best investment in a home appliance that we have made over the past year. The staff is friendly and very knowledgeable. I would highly recommend them to anyone in the market for a vacuum!!
