DIB: Thank you for liking the idea. Maybe ORECK will use it? I have some suggestions to pass along to ORECK on the vacuum, maybe I'll include this one too for marketing. You have faith, and that's a blessing from the Almighty. We all are given gifts, call them graces. Some use and some do not. For those who don't, they will be accountable for what they did with their graces. [You know well the biblical parable of the coins: To whom much is given, much has to be received]. ORECK used it. As I've said with similar debates here before, the grace [idea, call it what you like] can be granted and received by more than one. It's what you do with it that counts. In hindsight everyone can proclaim he/she had the grace [gift] first. The question always becomes: What did he/she do with it? We know what the HSN guy did with it. We know what ORECK did. Choose who acted and who didn't. For all you know the idea of air movement may have been the grace that started ORECK onto air purifiers? ORECK used it as a business logo for purifiers. BTW, HS is a funny guy. He should have mentioned that before cutting the cord, make sure you pull the plug out of the electrical outlet. I don't think Mike W agrees. Didn't I see a lock on a thread yesterday shortly after HS posted: Dyson: News You Can't Use? Didn't you start that thread? Now that's funny! Where one stands, depends on where one sits. Carmine D.

Carmine, Mole had a bit of a melt down as you did some months ago which led to the thread being closed. It seems his potty mouth got my thread closed. Take a look, the moderator edited moles post DIB Where one stands, depends on where one sits. Carmine D.

Hello DIB: Wordsmithing to MOLE's post only. No change in content and/or the poster's name that it was directed toward. The earlier ORECK post [started by MOLE] was locked after a post by Motor, not me. I was way way up the chain and much earlier in the day. Here's the rule DIB: The last poster in line that hits, takes the hit [read lock out]. Just like sport events. Carmine D.

Oreck goes both ways… It’s funny to see Mr. O religiously single out and attack the (cyclonic) Dyson in his XL21 infomercial and on his website/s all the while he holds a cyclonic patent and/or uses this patent in his shampooer. He went way out of his way to not use the word/s cyclonic or cyclone in his patent description and claims too. – Funny.

This responds to a question raised here about the uses of the ORECK-s that are returned within the 30 day home trial period. According to several of my ORECK sources, these returns are shipped to ORECK Clean Home Centers nationwide and used as loaner vacuums when non-ORECK brands are brought in for repairs. In hopes of converting the vacuum users to the ORECK brand after using. Apparently, the sales technique/promotion works. Carmine D.

The ORECK Clean HOME stores I've visited sell used ORECK-s. These are usually ORECK trade ins. Tho, I suspect at some point the loaner ORECK-s are also sold as used vacuums, if a customer is interested in buying and doesn't have the funds to buy a new one. I recently saw a used XL Classic [made and sold in 2004] priced and bought in an ORECK store by a customer for $100. Carmine D.
