Like the Tacony uprights, I had assumed that the canisters were made in the US as well but I recently found out they are not, much to my surprise.  When I said the machine would last close to 15 years, it was the upright I was referring to.  Is the Simplicity Verve made by Daewoo in Korea, by LG, or someone else?

-MH

The Verve is made in China, not that it matters much anymore.  I've always believed it's not where it's made but who is making it that matters more.  Interestingly enough, the Verve motor warranty is now 7 years as opposed to the 5 on the Korean made S20.  This vacuum should still last 15 years with regular maintenance.

Geez, who whizzed in your corn flakes this morning? One would think that you are actually missing all the Dyson banter by the way you hit the boards today.  Could it be you're a closet Dyson fan and this is an attempt to keep the Dyson chatter alive and well?  Be careful mole...James will be putting you on his Christmas card list if you keep this up :-)

This responds to a question raised here about the uses of the ORECK-s that are returned within the 30 day home trial period.

According to several of my ORECK sources, these returns are shipped to ORECK Clean Home Centers nationwide and used as loaner vacuums when non-ORECK brands are brought in for repairs.  In hopes of converting the vacuum users to the ORECK brand after using.  Apparently, the sales technique/promotion works.

They are also sold to dealers as "show" specials at a reduced rate and a 1 year warranty and are never in short supply.

I spent a few hours vacuuming half my house.  I took a look in the bag compartment and I was a bit surprised at what I saw.  What do you all make of this image?  Perhaps I am not using the HiFlow HEPA bag?

I removed most of the dust by hand.  The majority of it was clumped up on the motor filter. 

The exterior of the vacuum itself looks pristine.

Also, is the vacuum supposed to ship with an instruction manual?  I found an opened bag at the bottom of the box that the vacuum was in and although the box did not seem to have a second layer of tape on it or anything it seems as though the vacuum may have been lightly used before.  Not a big deal to me but I would like the manual if there is one (I checked the website and did not find a PDF).

I'll give the store a call tomorrow.

From the looks of things I'd say you have either a previously used machine or the bag wasn't seated properly into the bag holder.  There is no other reason for that amount of dust to be in the chamber, not even after a year of household use.  The machines do indeed come with a manual and registration card.  I'd be making a return trip back to the dealer to find out what's going on.
