Vacuum Cleaners Discussions

I received this "teaser email today: http://links.mkt2388.com/ctt?kn=1&m=2735925&r=MTgwOTM1MTgzMTcS1&b=0&j=NzgxMTAyODMS1&mt=1&rt=0
Anyone know what's up with this??

The thing is though and even if I think Miele and Sebo are the best at pick up, at the end of the day there really is no comparison with dyson. Take a bit of carpet and put in a new fresh bag in your Oreck and go over it. See what the machine picks up. Take a Dyson and go over the carpet after it. You'll still find the Dyson picks up more.

Guys:

It's the oldest trick of the trade in the vacuum selling play book.  The vacuum that goes last always takes more dirt out.  Why?  Dealt with this before here.  You're just not paying attention.  A rug can holds its weight in dirt and still look clean.  You can never get all the dirt out.  Keep going over and over the same area, with the same vacuum or different, and more dirt comes out every time.   It's how many a vacuum was sold back in the day. 

Good to go over these old achived tricks of trade/techniques.  Just when you think everyone has heard about them, somebody proves us wrong.

A trick that Oreck still uses.  BTW, your carpet must be very very heavy.

Strange, when the Kirby was demoed at my home the salesman had to run it for a few minutes to get dirt on the pad that they use. 

ORECK had enough money to buy up halo after it failed.  That was not trickery.  That was cash.  Wonder who'll be next?

The trickery is in the marketing.  Build a vac for $50 or less and sell for $800.  It will however perform almost as good as a $50 vacuum.

BTW, You tried to divert my comment because you know I spoke the truth.

Our local Oreck store went out of business. It was located in the Best Buy strip mall, looks like BB killed them....

I can think of a brand that produces $500 plus vacuums that don't perform as well a $50 HOOVER TEMPO!

That might be the first ORECK store ever to shutter.  Unless, it moves to another location?  Probably not the last.

BEST BUY stores aren't off the hook either.  Tho, I have serious doubt that the BB store did the ORECK store in.  I suspect since many strip mall have lost their anchor stores and with them customer traffic, then the rent/lease costs may no longer be warranted.   Remember the advice I gave to turtle1 and others here awhile back.  Rather than spending the $300,000 for an ORECK franchise, find a goodd location for a business/store and use the money to buy it.
