Saw today the Costco now sell the Oreck for $299 something I really didn't pay close attention just noticed a black charcoal color vacuum that everyone seem to have in the shopping cart...

Hi Venson:I thought the same when I read Ace's post: It was the $99 halo and not the $299 ORECK. But Ace mentions colors that are vintage ORECK and not halo. ORECK may be testing the waters in several strategic stores and locations. COSTCO store managers have discretion to add/subtract products different from the Corporate guidance and recommendations.Carmine D.

Geez -- I wish mine would.

BTW, given a choice of the Platinum HOOVER lightweight WT upright and companion canister for $399 vice the ORECK upright and canister for $299, I would buy the ORECK and recommend others to do the same. Not just for price. But for performance too. The HOOVER's are okay for the money and the 6 year warranties are nice selling features at the big box stores. The HOOVER cann has loads of power, nice size HEPA dirt bag for a compact and very quiet operation. But ORECK is the real McCoy for upright lightweights and at $299, it gets the edge over HOOVER in my book. ORECK upright is better quality too than the HOOVER TTI lightweight upright. ORECK's made in the USA speaks for itself.

hi carmine

I second that ....altho i love the look of the hoover ..it will never outlast the oreck..or come close to its durability ...you can take an oreck from ' in your home use ' into a commercial use, day in day out without a hitch...cant see that with tti or any bagless whatsoever.....except the sanitaire comm. dump cup type.

HI DIB

the hoover lightwgt platinum in question might be the one ...but the closest one id have to say was, that discontinued mod. from hoover that looked like an oreck. whatever happened to it.....[cause] of its vanishing act.

Buyers should ask IF BBS vacuums are sold with FULL warranty coverage. I'm hearing dealers won't service or honor warranties on them.

Thanks Lucky1. Interesting point. I don't know for certain about the ORECK's sold new at COSTCO, because I haven't been to my local COSTCO store to see and hear about the sales of ORECK's. I suspect since ORECK has a manufacturer's warranty of usually 1, 3, 5 or more years that the authorized ORECK stores would honor the ORECK warranty regardless of place of purchase as long as the owner bought the vacuum new and is the original owner. What are your thoughts?

yes...a very good point indeed...you would think yes..i mean you buy a car [gm] on the west coast... you move to the east coast...you develop car problems and take it to a gm dealership..they fix it....because your covered by the warranty...so the same should apply. if your an authorized svc/store and reguardless of where it came from..if its under warr. u fix it....i just dont see an authorized oreck svc/dlr not honoring it....ive never once heard anybody complain about the service they recieved from oreck ..or how they did business....id be blown away if they didnt or wouldnt honor it.

Judy ORECK is taking the pitch man [woman] reigns over from Dave. Watch for new newspaper and TV adds promoting, demo-ing and selling ORECK-s by Judy. She is the new "godmother" of the ORECK vacuum business.

May not be a bad thing since women constitute the larger part of vacuum users and highly influence vacuum purchases if not buying them outright.

Hi Venson:

I agree. I haven't seen actual data, but I suspect women comprise the bulk of ORECK customers. And Judy would most definitely appeal and attract women vacuum customers. Judy is nice on the eyes too, so she'd probably get some male vacuum customers too. Especially with the "mob/godmother" theme that she is using on the current sales pitch.
