By the way, does anyone know where the Garry upright comes from? I only mention this because Tacony is campaigning with the "Made in America" pitch.

Hi Venson:

I couldn't find the country of origin in the User's Manual.  My guess is that if the Garry were made in the USA, it would be said loud and clear not just in the manual but the TV commercials.

Hello retardturtle1:

Last Monday I was told the new ORECK Steam It would be in this week.  I would be first on the list to be called when it was.  As soon as I am, and visit the ORECK store, I'll be sure to post here. 

BTW, I know it was on another thread and not here, but while it's in my mind let me say it here.  I like your attitude about vacuums and learning to do more/better with what you know.  If Model2 doesn't post any answers to my questions, I'll be sure to post you offline with the correct answers to the questions I asked him.

makes you wonder how they can get away with some of the crap they say ....i thought the govt. was cracking down on this. one would think that the cri would make it known that they never gave a certification to them....that they lied....and to think i was somewhat inspired by the thought of what the g-vac might do....or change.

Hello retardturtle1:

The government moves by its own momentum often times slow, slower and slowest.  With the G-vac just months on the market, it hasn't reached enough people to get on the radar screens. 

BTW, no call from ORECK on the Steam It!  May stop by next week to see what gives on its ETA and talk G-vac.

The ORECK sales [Silver Series upright solo for $225] are advertised on TV too and have been extended through June 30, 2009.  Judy ORECK is the TV ads' sales pitcher.

. . . It will be interesting to see if (in time) this product receives any decent reviews from "real consumers" but until then I have serious doubts about this product and it's provenance as a real quality product.

Hi cjnyusa,

The whole deal here is that the public is being yet again titilated with another "opportunity" to get something for nothing -- or in this case, allegedly a lot by way of lesser price. I have a great love of fantasy-type movies but can't afford myself the indulgence in the real world.

There are those prepared to make do off cheap buys and there are those who hold off on buying until they can purchase what they perceive as something "good". Something like a trade-offs made daily on HSN for a cubic zurconium over a diamond. However, what ranks as a real diamond is sometimes not easy to tell in regard to vacuums.

This just me but if somone were to walk up to me and say, "Just give me 200 buck and I'll give ya and give ya and give ya . . ." I'd be highly skeptical. First if you offer me a vacuum for $200.00 and then tell me that no matter what happens you'll replace it and keep on replacing it for life, my first thought is that it probably only cost you all of 15 bucks to make it in the first place. AND -- if I estimate the actual cost of manufacture being that low, why would I pay you 200 bucks?

The Garry is nothing new. Though the big kid is Oreck, there are at least half a dozen other low-watt draw lightwieght uprights besides the Garry with large disposable bags on the market. They all offer uncomplicated abbreviated air paths, a good thing, and all are more or less noisy no matter how much you pay for one, not good thing.

Garry offers a lot but there is no guarantee how long the company will be in existence. It being that the intenet has actually changed our world by lessening the cost of the exposure ideas, opinions and product, I'm sure we'll be seeing a lot more of the same everywhere and for everything. As I posted earlier, if budget concerns were a real issue (and they are) I'd spring for a 99-buck Halo and make do for the next few years. Even if the machine fails in a year's time only a hundred bucks and sales tax has been lost.

Vacuums run the gamut from the overrated and expensive to the cheap toss-away but the best bets are those that fall at the "happy medium" mark.
