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.

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

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

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.
