Vacuum Cleaners Discussions

Hi Venson, DIB:</p><p>Made a stop at the local ORECK store.  [BTW, the resident in one of the adjacent stores is no longer in business.]  The ORECK Halo was proudly displayed and we talked about it.  The ORECK sales lady did not push/pitch it in any way shape or form.  Quite the opposite.  SHe said it is 17 pounds, a tad on the heavy side compared to the ORECK standard.  She said it' recommended mostly for couples with small infants who crawl alot on the rugs and floors and are subject to allergies and/or have sensitivity to germs.  She laughingly said that her older children said there were no such vacuums with UV lights in their time, and they survived with no health problems. . . .

Hi Carmine,

Yes indeed! The Samsung "Silencio" bagless canisters are selling the UK. Samsung's Silencio and Nilfisk's Extrmem series are vacs that I've been hoping to see here. For whatever reason, the idea has not been attractive to either company.

Thanks once again Venson.  It appears that the 2 Samsung UK models, one cann and one upright, are bagless.  But the Canadian models are bagged except the small cann models.  I don't know if there is a relevance to this or not.  Maybe there is.  Does bagless appear the norm in the UK for vacuums vice bagged vacuums in Canada as the norm?</p><p>Carmine D.
