DIB: 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. Carmine D. 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.

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. Carmine D.

It my understanding that Oreck does back any warranty of its vacs sold from other stores. After a log discussion last week, my friend explained to me that Oreck is also sold by HSN and JC Penny's and is on their websites as well, but they have restrictions on what products and how they sell them that the Home Care and Franchise stores do not have to follow as closely.
Form the picture , it doesnt look as sleek as the newest Oreck line out...maybe last years design..It seems to have a better handle on it than the base model the my Sister has. I guess the other question is if it has 2 speeds or not. i love the fact the my XL21 has a high and low speed.
