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...

Hi Severus,
Due to the shoddiness of the product, I still strongly feel it was the never the intention of the Garry's makers to make good on making good easy.
This is a vac that is cheap to make or acquire and banking on the "one's born every day' factor I think Garry probably anticipated a nice piece of change coming its way. I am not prone to sweat it for long in regard to purchases of $100 or less. I of course have followed through to gain whatever satisfaction may be due and conveniently accessible to me as regards disputes about such purchases. Yet, I have had to learn to grin and bear. A hundred dollars is considered as being no money at all in present times. A hundred dollars probably by equivalent represents the cost of the $39.95 miracles we thought were great back in the 1960s and 70s.
Cheating the public, no matter the price, by no means is good or decent but that is what I believe Garry set out to do and has done. I believe it so much that I'd bet money on it.
How many people are going to raise a fuss for long about something that only cost a hundred dollars or so? How many people are going to bother with even considering paying fifty bucks to ship a cheap vacuum back to its maker for repair? If it can't be fixed locally and cheaply the obvious end to the story takes place at the town dump. The guys in business who know stats and numbers know that and in this case banked on it.
Sadly, Garry's accomplice has been the victim. People thought they'd come across an opportunity to beat the market but were absolutely wrong in their anticipations.
I am not a great fan of Oreck but I think even a refurb of that brand will probably outlast a brand new Garry any day. My best advice to the public is to think longer before investing in cheap product claimed to outdo higher priced gizmos especially from companies that promise, "I'm gonna give you, and give you and give you . . ." What they usually end up giving you is the shaft. Best, Venson Although Dustmite will accuse you and/or I of talking to ourselves, bravo. Everyone wants a bargain. The early pleated filter bagless vacuums were sold with a similar con - no bags to buy ever. You just buy a filter that costs as much as a year's supply of bags.
The smart tyrant writes his own story to ensure that it is favorable. The lazy will repeat lines from the book without fact checking.

Hi Venson You bring a very good argument to the table. Why cant companies, people just do the right things today. This will backfire on them it usually does just for some it takes longer. But as you know there are still companies that are strait shooters out there but unfortunatly ALL dealers, distributors, owners, get lumped into the same group, It must be the New way of doing business today. The machines dont cause the problems Its the people behind it. stay well MOLE |

Garry has options if the sales wane. Dropping price. Big box venue. Buyout [recall halo]. Finally, better product making. See what happens. Certainly, with its price and presentation it should withstand the current market and economy. BTW, the testimonials are adding up on its Web Site. Of course only the best are provided. Still interesting to read if one has the time. Carmine D. They really are copying Oreck.

Right, deceiving comments on Oreck site leads to success.
HS:
All the ORECK buyers/users I know/talk with luv them and speak highly of them. ORECK customers are generally repeat buyers and/or repair their ORECKs faithfully. You are the ONLY ORECK exception I know. And I know many. ORECK surely has limitations. All products do. It's not for all and every vacuum user. But for those who want them and buy them and use them, they are ideally suited. ORECK is obviously not for you and you for it. We get it. BUT .....honestly, ORECK is doing very well despite it's head on hit by KATRINA in 2005, despite all the competition, and despite the economy. Even without you as one of their statisfied customers.

And Dyson is doing fine despite your dislike for them.
Oreck is doing so well that they now have a surplus to sell in bb stores.

I really think you are disappointed and/or sad that your sold your DC07 [supposedly its signature model by your account] and its discontinued now never to be made and sold again. You're having seller's remorse. You compensate for your poor judgement by attacking ORECK and HOOVER, both brands with their signature models [Classic and WT] still sold pervasively at retailers and stores. If it makes you feel worse, ORECK now is also gifting a toy ORECK vacuum with all purchases starting Dec 19. Gotta get me at least one of those for the grands. In my experience, it's an ORECK first.
