Garry has options if the sales wane.  Dropping price.  Big box venue.  Buyout [recall halo].  Finally, better product making.  See what happens.  Certainly, with its price and presentation it should withstand the current market and economy.  BTW, the testimonials are adding up on its Web Site.  Of course only the best are provided.  Still interesting to read if one has the time.

They really are copying Oreck.

Absolutely HS.  If you read the leadoff thread, I made the same observation with the Garry giveaways.  True of dyson too with giveaways, taking a page from ORECK.  True of Shark Navigator too taking on dyson with giveaways, taking a page from ORECK.  You always emulate the industry leaders, those that have made it over good times and bad, like ORECK, with success.

Right,  deceiving comments on Oreck site leads to success.

HS:

All the ORECK buyers/users I know/talk with luv them and speak highly of them.  ORECK customers are generally repeat buyers and/or repair their ORECKs faithfully.  You are the ONLY ORECK exception I know.  And I know many.  ORECK surely has limitations.  All products do.  It's not for all and every vacuum user.  But for those who want them and buy them and use them, they are ideally suited. 

ORECK is obviously not for you and you for it.  We get it.  BUT .....honestly,  ORECK is doing very well despite it's head on hit by KATRINA in 2005, despite all the competition, and despite the economy.  Even without you as one of their statisfied customers.

And Dyson is doing fine despite your dislike for them. 

Oreck is doing so well that they now have a surplus to sell in bb stores.

If my vacuum can remove even one spec of dirt that yours misses, then mine is better than yours - even if there's no proof that mine would have picked up as much dirt as yours...

I was visiting a open house in an upscale area of town.  There was a 3000sf home with a combination of wood floors, tile, and low pile carpeting (looked almost like commercial carpeting with a nice design), and lo and behold inside the hall closet was an Oreck XL21.   For this type of flooring, the Oreck is a pretty good match. 

The smart tyrant writes his own story to ensure that it is favorable.  The lazy will repeat lines from the book without fact checking.

I really think you are disappointed and/or sad that your sold your DC07 [supposedly its signature model by your account] and its discontinued now never to be made and sold again.  You're having seller's remorse.  You compensate for your poor judgement by attacking ORECK and HOOVER, both brands with their signature models [Classic and WT] still sold pervasively at retailers and stores.

If it makes you feel worse, ORECK now is also gifting a toy ORECK vacuum with all purchases starting Dec 19.  Gotta get me at least one of those for the grands.  In my experience, it's an ORECK first.

My observation too SEVERUS.  These homeowners are the ORECK brand's bread and butter.  Interesting too that the XL21 comes with the longest ORECK warranty: 20 years.   ORECK is first class in honoring this warranty and serving these customers as well as they possibly can.

I frequently visit a very close relative who has a 9,000 + sq ft home.  He has very expensive tile, wood and carpet.  Not the commercial grade i/o looking stuff.  Also lots of expensive area rugs.  They use a Dyson rather than the built in vac.  No Orecks in a reall upscale house.

All that you said about the Oreck Carmine does not relate to cleaning performance.

Carmine,  I have no disappointments or remorse about selling the DC07.  Unlike you I used the Oreck prior to the DC07 and was sadly disappointed in the Oreck.  You OTH criticized Dyson long before owning one.  I suppose that preconceived idea was in part a reason you did not like your DC07.  You started personal attacks on Dyson without ever using one.  I did have experience before defending the Dyson.  Of course noe of the manufacturers have ever damaged my back side as Dyson did yours.

Maybe a first to give a free toy with the toys that they sell.
