Vacuum Cleaners Discussions

A famous German Vacuum soon to be available at your local Oreck Dealer.....Hummm.

Clearly you haven't read the post - ORECK scored better than Dyson with their uprights. Which collect findings from owners and repair bills collected from private and franchise repairers. There is no info on the hand vacuums or SEBO's cylinder vacuums simply because they don't sell as many. Besides, the UK don't get the recent machines that Oreck U.S have. Also Which have found Oreck uprights to be excellent at DEEP CARPET CLEANING - better than the hopeless plastic brush rolls of the Dyson.

Please don't start quoting cars again - the moderator on here has already warned members using cars as a comparison - you can't compare a vehicle with a vacuum cleaner = period.

Interestingly enough Hardsell, the cars that you all quote have terrible fuel consumption - especially the American ones over BMW & Mercesdes, who are at least doing something about energy efficient cars. I can't see an electric F-150 - can you?

I read the post and posted my sentence from it.  Where in your excerpt does it say that Oreck scored over Dyson in testing ( I have to assume this is vacuuming useage). 

Luxury doesn't come cheap.  It will be a long time before electric cars have any real value IMO.

Does sound more made up than scientific.  CR must have assisted.

Clearly you haven't read the post - the WHICH UK Survey rates RELIABILITY citing SEBO and Oreck as the top two in the upright catgory. Dyson is at the lower end of the table - so reliability is therefore isn't as good. They're not in a different position where their canister/cylindedrs are concerned either. CR would have NOTHING TO DO WITH THE UK either. They don't even test the models you have in the U.S - we have comparatively similar models, but not always the same. Cue the DC17 by Dyson, of which member DC18 informed Carmine that this is a U.S only model and vice versa in the UK, other models we have and you don't.

Same with Oreck = the models you have in the U.S/Canada is substantially better than what is offered in the U.K and the costs are a lot more. Similarly Miele models in the U.K are far cheaper (and the cost parts) than U.S charges. Blame the economy, not the luxury value.

The reliability data would be made up by actual reliability; amount of repairs (or in some cases very little), amount of problems and the kinds of problems would be data specific and geared to this statistic making up the survey. Performance is also factored into the survey.

WRT vehicles, a topic that a poster here has a penchant for, I trust the Moderator will permit me a slight subject diversion.  As all know here a brand that the poster here also has a penchant for [warned he would buy his daughter the car despite the recalls], is the only one which suffered a loss in 2010 sales, while all other car makers had yearly gains.  Why?  Consumer Reports would say it was due to the enormous number of recalls by that brand in both 2009 and 2010, in the multi millions.  And now again in 2011.  In the car industry, makers have made it a joke.  A new year and new round of recalls by the brand.  More than any other car manufacturer and in some cases combination of brands.  So what is the supreme brand known for quality doing about it to get it's reputation back?  Answer:  Expect next week that toyota will make an announcement naming a high level official in Japan as, get this, The Safety and Engineer Czar.  Believe it or not.  Sounds like toyota's engineers are dyson flunkies.

Carmine,

  Funny thing while I was going thru some of my sights I frequent to keep up with everybody. Oreck is best known for the XL , Pilot and Buster B. But I came to find out they have over 15 models more in their commercial line , not including the Orbiter, Steamer, or Air Purifiers. Dyson doesn't have anything like them.

Hello Procare:

Dyson and its 350 "scientists and engineers" can only wish.  When it comes to wishing to be more like ORECK, dyson's wishing is on a grand scale.

Loss in sales and still #1 seller in 2010. I know you wannabe #1 but it ain't likely to happen.

As usual you believe the makers' spin, not the truth. The increased buying incentives [the best offered in the industry in 2010] and lower prices [lowest from MSRP in the industry in 2010] were the reasons.  When will you ever learn?  Watch for the announcement next week No 1 in sales.  Safety Czar!  Your posts give me more laughs than  reading the funnies.

You apparently have not price shopped in the last year.  MSRP was comparable with Honda and Nissan.  Others brands did have lower MSRP.  I do the research and not simply report my fantasy desire.  If you want to compare sources let me know.

I'll spare you the public embarassment.  Why? As usual you don't read and/or comprehend my posts.  Your favorite car brand offered the largest discounts from MSRP IN ADDITION to the best buyer incentives in the car industry in 2010.  That's how it was No 1 in sales ion 2010 despite being the ONLY car brand that had lower year over year sales.  Doing research is a moot point if you can't/don't/won't connect the dots. 

You're hilarious.  You condemn ORECK at every chance for offering giveaways as buying incentives then praise your favorite car brand for being No 1 in sales for doing the exact same.  I luv it!
