Anyone have experience with Riccar Canister Vacuums?

QUESTION:

Our current vacuum, a Eureka, no longer sucks. We need a new one. My MIL recommends Miele, which is running ~$600 for a canister-style. I want an upright, with tools on board.
So, I went to the vacuum store yesterday, and the salesperson was strongly recommending a brand I'd never heard of - Riccar. It has all the features I want, and a reasonable price - $350 for a 12 amp vacuum with onboard tools, a 40' cord, an all-metal agitator, a chrome steel bottom plate, and replaceable agitator brushes.
I'm concerned about longevity. Google searches seem to be solely indicative of sales sites, no reviews or comparisons that I could find. Any opinions?
Thanks in advance.
