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.

My observation too SEVERUS.  These homeowners are the ORECK brand's bread and butter.  Interesting too that the XL21 comes with the longest ORECK warranty: 20 years.   ORECK is first class in honoring this warranty and serving these customers as well as they possibly can.

I frequently visit a very close relative who has a 9,000 + sq ft home.  He has very expensive tile, wood and carpet.  Not the commercial grade i/o looking stuff.  Also lots of expensive area rugs.  They use a Dyson rather than the built in vac.  No Orecks in a reall upscale house.

All that you said about the Oreck Carmine does not relate to cleaning performance.

Carmine,  I have no disappointments or remorse about selling the DC07.  Unlike you I used the Oreck prior to the DC07 and was sadly disappointed in the Oreck.  You OTH criticized Dyson long before owning one.  I suppose that preconceived idea was in part a reason you did not like your DC07.  You started personal attacks on Dyson without ever using one.  I did have experience before defending the Dyson.  Of course noe of the manufacturers have ever damaged my back side as Dyson did yours.

Maybe a first to give a free toy with the toys that they sell.

HS:

If your highlighted statement is true, then I believe you were not all that impressed with dyson's DC07.  After all, one does not sell their treasures, let alone their assets without good reasons.  

BTW, I owned and used dyson's DC07 long before the ORECK Classic.  Dyson didn't work on my carpets.  Gawdawful clutch and floating head are not what wool medium pile carpets call for.  Went for a new ORECK thanks in large part to your bad mouthing.  Having been in the business, tho never selling new ORECK's, I was always impressed by the compliments that ORECK customers had for their ORECK's.  So I was surprised by your attacks of it.  So when I had the opportunity I bought one for $150.  ORECK works fine and has for over 2 years.  In fact I bought 3 more just like it.  You keep what works and you like using and share with others.  If I can finagle a toy ORECK for the grands then what more can I ask for Christmas.

Hardsell,

Wow - 9000 sf.    Are you related to a country music star or Al Gore? 

I do not consider a vacuum to be a treasure or an asset.  It is simply another tool around the house.  They are simply a hobby to pass time.  I was and still am impressed with the DC07. At least as impressed as I can be with a vacuum.  I bought a new Electrolux in 1973 which I am sure is still worth more than the DC07.  Still no regrets.

I once owned a car (1968) that was one of 476 built that year.  It had no special value back then.  Today they sell for upwards of half a million and are not as rare as the one I owned.  I do have regrets of selling that one. 

I don't know the difference in your medium pile and mine, however the DC07 never had a clutch problem after 3 years of use.  I did use the DC07 on some expensive wool carpet in an elderly aunts home with no problem.

You might be surprised at what isn't working if you did a deep cleaning.

Anyway,  a MERRY CHRISTMAS  to you and the family. 

May God bless all.

HS:

And therein is the difference.  A good tool is an asset never to be lent or borrowed.  In my business more vacuums were in need of repair after lending and borrowing.  Not a wise practice.

Learned today that grand baby number 4 is on the way.  Grand daughter number 3 broke the Dirt Devil toy vacuum handle last night after it survived her two older sisters for more than 3 years.  A new toy ORECK is needed for sure now.

Merry Christmas to you and yours.

 Too funny SEVERUS!

BTW, I have upgraded rug padding which in concert with the looped medium wool pile was a disaster for dyson's DC07.  The brush bar stalled constantly and the ratcheting noise drove the dog and Wife out of the house.   Dyson's HELPLINE admitted that a dyson would not work after several workarounds, removing the soleplate upper and lower gaskets, and told me to return it.  Not even buy another dyson.  [September 2006] I also mentioned that the builder's rug contractor gave similar warnings at a homeowners meeting about 3 weeks after I made the dyson purchase.  Our community has about 2400 houses in the community and many went with upgraded carpeting and padding.  The homeowners who did and bought/gifted dysons had the same problems.

BTW, FYI, I received a tax assessment from the county.  For the 2 straight year, my property taxes in Las Vegas have been lowered due to decline in home/land values.
