Vacuum Cleaners Discussions

My 5 year old grand daughter, tall for her age and soon to be 6, uses an ORECK XL Classic to help her Mom with the cleaning of rugs and floors.  Great way to start the youngsters off on the right foot around the home.  Now her younger sisters try too, while the oldest who gives instructions.  It's a joy to watch.  They love their ORECK, so does their Mom, for obvious reasons.

The nice thing about using an ORECK is that while my grands are playing they are actually working.

I detect a tone of jealousy in you that youngsters can use/operate ORECKs with better results than some adults using them and other full size brands.  Have your joke here at their expense and ORECK.  But it doesn't change the fact that at 8-9 pounds ORECK is a wonderful vacuum tool/toy, call it what you will, to start youngsters into a home cleaning routine and keep them later as adult customers. 

Just as dyson copied ORECK with the retail store front venue, not saying it will be a success for dyson as it has for ORECK, you are envious that ORECK trumps dyson with a smaller, lighter, better vacuum product that is simple and easy even for pre-teens to use.  It's a priceless feature/life lesson for parents and their children to enjoy using ORECKs and continue doing so later.  Sorry you missed the opportunity.  Sure your son never had any interest in using your Rainbow.

I am not jealous of anyone who uses an oreck.  Also I am not making fun of your grand children.  You on the other hand are teaching them bad habits.  If they are working they should be able to see the rewards of their labor.

For years you argued how superior hoover was and that it would be the demise of DYSON.  IT ain't happened.  However in desperation of finding a vac that cleaned better than DYSON you switched to oreck.

I recently purchased an XL Signature.  Same POS as the XL21.  Oh, the cord alone wieghs 9 lbs.

I still use and like my HOOVER TEMPO better than the ORECK.  Tho my dear WIfe luvs her ORECK.

Learning to vacuum at an early age is a good habit.  I didn't teach them.  Neither did their parents.  The oldest did it on her own to help her Mom.  Remember the post here when her younger sister dopped a flower pot on the stairs and dirt was all over.  Daughter was in the shower.  Oldest grand daughetr pulled out the DD hand vacuum to clean.  Would have past unnoticed if my daughter didn't see my oldest grand putting the DD away.  Well, oldest grand daughter graduated to the ORECK now.  And her sisters immitate her.  It's a joy, my daughter tells us.

Can the rest of your dribble.  Your envious.  It shows.

Grand daughters: 3;  Grandsons 0 [so far].  From the appearances so far to date all 3 have the vacuum gene, which appears to have skipped a generation with my daughter, their Mother.
