If my vacuum can remove even one spec of dirt that yours misses, then mine is better than yours - even if there's no proof that mine would have picked up as much dirt as yours...

As I recall SEVERUS, years ago you called out Sir James for not following the ORECK business model. What? 9 yeras ago? Seems Sir James takes along time to get the point. What is that they say about Englishmen and punch lines? Takes a while for them to get it! Carmine D. It takes a huge amount of money and resources to operate company stores. I think Oreck and Dyson could make a nice partnership, since for the most part the products are complimentary. Oreck could even sell little dust masks for bagless vacuum owners to wear when emptying their dust canisters. I don't think Oreck will ever sell their own bagless vacuum.
The smart tyrant writes his own story to ensure that it is favorable. The lazy will repeat lines from the book without fact checking.

As always, to each his own but association with Oreck I'd think has its benefits in that the name is very familiar in the American vacuum market. Please note that I have no data re sales but over time Oreck has picked up a number of vacuums that did not originate from it and kept them on its roster for long periods. Oreck's Dutch Tech canisters were originally branded as Philips for years in Europe. Philips, a broad scale manufacturer, opted out of the vacuum market. Its orbital polisher is also an outsourced product. The Halo makers highly debatable product also has ended up in the hands Oreck. I can only assume that Oreck is garnering enough sales off the like to allow it great faith in what and those its name can draw in. I would wonder about the "be true to your school" aspect going out the window were it not that both big box stores and independent vacuum dealers daily stock competing products on their shelves anyway.
