Oreck Vacuum cleaners ....

I've been happy with my Oreck for about 10 years now. :shrug:

And you know, my dad's wife has one and is very happy with it. She vacuums about 1 time per week and I vacuum at least every other day. I'm saying from somebody's perspective who is very hard on vacuum cleaners, the Dyson works for me and I have both.

Doesn't Oreck have that 30 day trial before you buy still? You can always try it out Nanny? See for yourself.

We go through a vacuum cleaner every 6 months. Hoovers, electrolux, etc, etc.
I thought it would be nice to have a Dyson or Oreck but I would hate see such a lovely machine subjected to us.

I vacuum a lot. I've never had mine serviced or had a problem with it. And I got that one that can pick up a bowling ball for free (but it really won't pick up a bowling ball).

unless it has a serious leak somewhere it should.
vacuum is vacuum.

nature hates a vacuum.

I kind of doubt there is a vacuum cleaner out there that comes anywhere near creating a perfect vacuum. More like a pretty good pressure differential is about it.

after much deliberation, I'm gonna try an Oreck. If it doesn't blow my skirt up, it's Dysonville, here I come.
My thing is the weight of the things, however after reading, I understand "the ball" dramatically reduces the drag, and it's actually not so bad. (talked with the neighbor last night....she has one)

But the bags (Oreck) make me crazy, too. As soon as they get a little dirt in them, the suction is reduced. I'll be testing this theory.

Oreck is guaranteed for 21 years and it must me taken into the shop for a free check-up every year. (the shop is 1/2 mile away... so NBD)

But wait, there's more...
I also have the Dyson Animal Ball (DC 15 I think), and it's not hard to use at all. The ball-swivel action makes vacuuming a snap around furniture, corners, etc. I've had mine for almost 2 years now and love it. I also love the attachment for stairs and furniture. :yay: Consider it an upper body work-out to push it around if you find it heavy at first. :shrug:

Save yourself the hassle of returning the Oreck or being let down ... get the Dyson. If after a couple of weeks of use, you still find it too hard to push around, then go get the Oreck. But I'm betting dollars to donuts you'll get used to the Dyson in no time, and you'll love the results. :really:
