Get it while it lasts!

BEST BUY stores are selling the HOOVER Platinum Collection Lightweight Bagged Upright with companion canister for $299.  This is a $100 discount from the MSRP.  I'm not overly impressed with the duo but both are decent overall performers for household usage.

I can't say exactly what you'll get for 14 bucks but Sears has been regularly sending me emails almost every week it seems. For those looking for economical buys, Sears is holding in-store-only "Super Saturday Sales" tomorrow, August 15th. New bargains will be announced every hour.

Check in with your local store to learn if this sale is in effect in your area.

As always, I have no affiliation whatsoever with Sears but highly recommend it as a source for, among other things, decent vacuums at decent prices AND not only from the Kenmore line. Any objections? Well, you can go straight to . . . Williams-Sonoma or Bloomingdales -- and give 'em all the money you want.

Sadly most big box retailers show a lack of imagination in displaying the vacuum/floorcare products they sell.  Just lining them up willy nilly.  In the old days the displays of the vacuums in stores and store windows were a thing of beauty.

This just came across from amazon.com on vacuum savings.  Along with this printed message:

Dear Amazon.com Customer,

As someone who has shown an interest in vacuums, you might like to know about our current savings on select upright, canister, and handheld vacuums.

Some prices are good.  Some not so.

Rated superior to Oreck by CR.  They must not place a high value on your opinion.

In the old days the lights were so dim and the windows so dirty that a customer could barely see the display.

Like I said HS, HOOVER bagged Platinum does better on higher pile carpets than ORECK.  ORECK does better on lower pile carpets.  Both [ORECK and HOOVER bagged Platinum] are in direct competition with each other in price and products for these lightweights.  You can't get much greater flattery than a top notch competitor like HOOVER copying pages right out of ORECK's sales strategy, product design and functions and prices.  Even Consumer Reports missed that nuance.

Try cleaning your glasses.  It helps you see better.
