You do not represent the world.  Regardless of what you think.

4 is nothing in comparison to total units manufactured.  Remember it was you who suggested that another poster check the belt for in box deterioration.

You seem to forget that my DC07 was problem free for years.

3 years.  Pretty good.  Missed out on the extra year ESP you paid for.

Never said I did.  I stand for me, myself and I and the 3 others who were gifted the ORECKs.  That's all that matters.  BTW, each ORECK comes with a spare belt in the undercarriage of the head.  Those were good too.

I welcome the opportunity.  Just one of my many ways.  42 years in the vacuum sales and service business and 15 plus years as an industry consultant.  I've made many professional and personal contacts over the years.  I use them all as resources.  I still keep up a frequent dialogue with the indies here in Las Vegas, and others around the country.  Good well rounded sphere of influence on all matters related to vacuums.  As I say, I get by with a little help from my friends. 

But its not about me here, least it shouldn't be.  It should be about the products.  Much more authentic reviwer opinions when people actually BUY and USE the products that they opine on.  Rather than talk about them ad infinitum and ad nauseum when they never took any money out of their pockets to buy.

Guys:

In contemplating a sit down with Sir James I would as a matter of curiosity pose this question and ask the distinguished British inventor to comment on it:

   In an interim report about changing test procedures of iec 60312 it says:  " Multi cyclones are excellent for filtering dust type solids but can have some problems with fibrous materials due to a tendency to agglomerate as they enter the cyclone."  The report goes on to say that a barrier or filter was needed prior to entering the cyclone.  What are your thoughts and comments on this Mr. Dyson. 

Or anyone else who likes dyson speak.

That Oreck belt in the spare undercarriage is all very well. However to change the roller brush or clean it involves taking off quite a few too many screws on the sole plate. In the UK Oreck seem to think owners should be replacing their brush rolls every year.

Carmine,
The more you talk the more you expose your true-cyclonic ineptness.  The backyard inventor and his team invented this filter long ago – the perforated shroud.  Sir James and his team discover and develop inventions and then the testing bodies play catch-up.

Do you think quoting the IEC (glowing) report helps or hurts your indie buddies who’s livelihood depends on selling bagged vacuums and the [often exclusive to the indie] replacement bags?

DIB/Mr. dyson [with a small d]:

All cyclonic vacuums have shrouds including dyson.  Small fibrous materials penetrate the shoud openings and "agglomerate"  in the cyclones impeding suction and filtration.  Cyclones can't filter out.  Need a barrier aka filter.

6 small screws on the soleplate.  Takes less than a minute to remove them and get to the brush roll.  Takes less than a minute to replace the belt which requires removal of only one screw. 

I have owned and used my ORECK for over 2 years.  The brush is still like brand new.  Haven't had to clean it yet either.   I have a yellow English lab which sheds year round.  No dog hair in and around the brush roll compartment.  I attribute this to fact that the suction is 2 inches from the carpet so it pulls all the dirt, pet hair and debris picked up off the rugs/floors into the vacuum, out of the brush roll compartment, and into the bag.
