Surprised that Bryson's only has one Yelp review. They've been around since 1967 (according to their webpage). Not surprised that it's a 5-star review. The owner is a very decent man who runs an honest shop, and the prices for vacuums and for repairs are very reasonable. My wife and her mom have been customers probably since my wife was a little girl, and I started going there back in 2010, when my wife and I moved to Ohio (i'm originally from NY).
My wife told me she had purchased her Riccar from Bryson's back in 1997. Well, after 24 years, the motor just went out. We were going to have a new motor installed but since the price of a new Riccar was so reasonable, we decided to buy a new one. The 25D model is a nice upgrade from the 25S model and for only an additional $100, you get a lot more + a nice 3-year warranty.
The owner took the time to demonstrate the floor model and also let my wife have a chance to use it to make sure she liked it. He showed us all the features and pointed out where the filters were and how to replace the bag and how you can turn off the brush to do other types of cleaning. When that was done, he opened a new box and assembled our new vacuum and gave us a 6-pack of bags at no charge. 5-star service all the way.
So now my wife is happy (happy wife, happy life!) that she has a brand new Riccar, and I don't have to stare anymore at a 24-year-old vacuum held together with duct tape, velcro and wishful thinking.
Thank you again, Mr. Bryson, for great service and a great deal. read more
