Thoughts
My take is that this will likely get discounted later this year by $400-500 for Black Friday / Year End Sale, however you may be getting that value now if you care for the additional value that this package is offering you. So overall, a pretty decent deal, and the best deal right now if you want the latest and greatest in home vacuuming.

Yep. I also didn't realize refurbished models were excluded (it's hidden in their FAQ). I wasted a bunch of time trying to get my good condition (only 301 hours) S7 MaxV Ultra all dolled up and cleaned this morning only to get instantly rejected. The $70 is a slap in the face to these hilariously overpriced vacuums. I was hoping they'd at least allow me to keep the $200 additional bonus for participating in their program like they mentioned, but support said that's not possible either. Overall pretty salty as you can tell lol since I was waiting several weeks since this trade-in program announcement to get rid of my S7MVU (it's performance has gone downhill big time over the last few months). After being forced to remap my house twice, being unable to vacuum a specific patterned rug, and the AI failed to avoid going under a desk chair (getting scratched up badly in the process), this vacuum's been "dead" to me.
With the bonuses the S8 MaxV Ultra come with, it ended up being being a decent deal and it was like I got to use my older model for the last 6 months for free.
