Vacuum Cleaners Discussions

For those interested, I just got the latest Costco coupon thingy and a $60.00 off coupon is being offered from May 13th to June 6th -- in my area and at Costco Online -- for the Oreck XL Pro Plus.  This includes the lightweight upright and portable vacs plus a turbo tool and year's supply of bags.

Id say in the right home/enviroment the Oreck combo with 2 yr is the ideal choice...many years of life...10-15-20+yrs poss..... nice filtering bags/size.

One of the very few vacuums that can do a great job at home as well as in a commercial enviroment...a proven durable vacuum that will last.

On a tight budget ,with that coupon you cant lose....great price and long life...solid reputation.

Sorry Mike W but it so fits HS I couldn't help myself.  Since you called me out only, perhaps you can also ensure that HS does NOT get personal with his posts and sticks to the product facts and not me.  If you check his litany of posts here, and I'm not sure you ever do, you'll note that his posts are inevitably directed toward me personally and professionally.   Not vacuum products and their pros and cons.  Detracts from the purpose of my dialogue to constantly have to fend off his childish personal attacks against me since you have turned a blind eye to it.

Have to agree turtle.  COSTCO is not the only big box retailer which carries and sells ORECK vacuums.  Other big box retailers do also.  I expect to see even more BBR stores sell the ORECK brand of vacuums and even ORECK air purifiers.   Probably sooner than we think rather than later.

HI Carmine

How well do they sell at costco..[you would think very well]..and how do their prices compare to the oreck stores.

COSTCO prices for ORECK are competitive with the authorized ORECK stores.  Maybe too much so.  Ask Lucky1.  However, ORECK has chosen to keep its latest and greatest models in ORECK stores while allowing big box retailers to sell the older discontinued ORECK models.  I think it's a win win for ORECK and vacuum customers.  Lucky1 probably feels differently.  I must say ORECK's timing was absolutely superb.  ORECK never shuttered stores up to the recent economic downturn in 2008.  But since 2008, unfortunately, some ORECK stores have closed.  Not many but some for a variety of reasons not completely related to just ORECK.  For example, typically ORECK stores are located in malls that have one or more big name stores as anchors to draw customer traffic.  Some of these stores closed and left the malls.  Customer traffic suffered.  ORECK suffered.  ORECK's move to big box retailers could not have been better economic and business timing.

Correction:  The ORECK duo at COSTCO comes with a 3 year warranty not 2.  I received the COSTCO sale ad with ORECK $60 coupon in the mail.  Thanks for the heads-up Venson.  Sale starts May 13 and runs thru June 6.
