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.

Maybe the 5 year warranty on the Shark navigator is not a big issue for this COSTCO buyer due to the liberal return/refund policy at COSTCO which from what I hear from word of mouth is the best of all the big box retailers.  "Solo" is just the upright BUT it comes with 8 bags not counting one inside.  ORECK was very smart to offer its upright only for sale several years ago [2007] when I bought 4 XL Classics at $150 plus tax and no shipping.  The current deal at COSTCO is a winner in my view and sure to sell ORECK product for COSTCO.  I'm thinking for a reason too.  Not just slow season for vacuum sales but also new ORECK product for COSTCO on the horizon.  The latter ties into Trebor's posts on new ORECK product including a bagless upright in addition to its bagless cann.  Of course the new "Pilot" ORECK too with swivel head and handle which I believe just hit some of the ORECK stores.

Hi,

About how much does a pack of the usual Oreck bags run?  The set I'm speaking of offers a year's supply which I'd assume is about the same number of bags that comes with the Solo.  As oreck upright bags are large, even a half dozen gratis doesn't seem a bad deal.  Note however, they do not indicate that htere's a year's supply for both the upright and the mini can.

You know I never wrote that and you falsified my post and words.  To me dumpsell that is the lowest of low and the only way you could ever spin my words to your own.  It is what I would expect from a chumsell like you.  I recall when ORECK was first added to COSTCO stores for sale you impugned COSTCO and its customers.  Just as you do with W*M and its customers and RC Willey and its customers.  See a trend dipsell.  If it ditches dyson, it's on your radar screen for impugning here.  Ironically, these 3 stores are the few who weathered the economic downturn and fared well through the bad times.  Just as I said they would.  No apology necessary nutzsell for me having told you so long ago.

Gee carmine.  Don't take things so personal.  You were very supportive of mole when he did the same.  Always knew you couldn't take a punch.  Since when is the truth impugning.  They sell close out merchandise, OEM branded goods and low to middle end goods.  WM especially caters to the lower income families.  How many WM's in affluent neghborhhods?  Wish I could post some pictures of the representative shoppers that are floating around.  A tit flopping out or shorts in the crack must be considered fashionable by some of the females there. Costco sells name brand electronics that are made for them so they do not have to price match.  Different model # than what is in other stores. Many stores are competetive with their pricing.  The customers simply fail to price shop.

As stated on a different thread, I never disagreed that these stores would survive.  Now, when they have total control of the market watch prices soar on that same low end product they sell.  Unfortunately they have driven too many samll businesses to their grave. 

If you have data to prove me wrong please present it.  I know that the truth digs badly at you.  Get over it.

BTW, I shop at WM and Costco and Sams.  That is unless I want upgraded products.

BTW, get over the ego trip.  You have told nothing that wasn't known by most.  If they didn't know then it wasn't of interest to start with.

You are no MOLE, Jimmy the OT.  Not even close.

Hello Venson:

The genune ORECK CC High Density [no frills] upright bags are $12 plus or thereabouts for 8 which is usually considered a one year supply.  I change before full and usually get a 2 month usage per bag.  It shares the household cleaning with at least one other upright on a normal basis. BTW, dirt capacity is 630 cubic inches.  It has antimicrobial protection to inhibit bacteria growth, mold, mildew to control odors.

ORECK concisitently beats a hosts of dyson uprights at rug/floor cleaning according to Consumer Reports.  So what does that say about your favorite brand bumsell HS.

Carmine D.

You know my feelings about Clown Reports.  They are as full of crap as you.

Dyson, loved by millions and envied by those who can't afford the best.

I'm not a big fan of CR myself.  The best thing I find about it is this:  It rates HOOVER as the best upright for rug cleaning.  As I do.  Like the HOOVER WT and TEMPO.  Two of my all time favorites.  CR reports factually about dyson and bagless vacuums:  More sizzle and hype than substance and function.  I believe and say the same about dysons and bagless.  WRT your opinions, like the above, makes no difference dipsell what and how you feel about CR and your other nonsense commentary.   Nobody cares.    It's not personal.  It's business.  You don't have it and will never get it.

Carmine D.

I fail to se the relevance of ratings because of your opinion.  Your opinion is like an a#$hole which we all have.  What makes you unique is that you ar an a#$hole with and opinion.

You have no idea about Dyson performance.  Just more of your deceipt and BS.  Do you actually think anyone cares about your antiquated thinking? 

Business for you was lies and deceipt.  After 40 + years of that I do not expect you to reform.  So, you could say that I get it. Remember I told you that Hoover would fold. AND THEY DID.

Keep the flattery going for DYSON.  The most copied and envied vacuum you can buy.  Don't you wish you had gotten on board rather than sinking with Hoover?

Go to an upscale store tomorrow and buy something nice for the home.  You will feel better even if it looks out of place with those rejects and overstocks that you decorate with.
