Help choosing a new vacuum cleaner :)
Original Message Apr 29, 2008 5:30 pm

Hello,

I'll be honest, I know nothing about vacuum cleaners except that I need one. I have 4 criteria for selection:
1) Works well
2) built well/will last me a long long time (serviceable)
3) Made in US, Japan, or Western Europe
4) Hopefully no more than $350

I think Oreck may end up being my choice since it's made in the US and I haven't found any others that aren't manufactured in south east Asia. But that's why I'm here! To tap into your brains :)

You can't knock their stock performance. Up over 20 percent so far this year. Ahead of all retailers, hands down. Liked their founder. Have to wonder if he would approve of the direction the company has taken. Put alot of Mom and Pop stores out of business. Not their finest achievement by far.

And W-M's $.95 a share dividend. No doubt will be a dollar soon. Is there another retailer that pays a dividend as much? Stock appreciation of 20 percent and a 95 cents dividend! What pays that rate of return on your investment? Like them or loathe them, but you can't beat them.
