Right on.  I suspect that customers who actually use the ORECK wind up purchasing.  Those who use the free home trial as an excuse to get the freebies don't purchase.  They have to make up bogus reasons for not buying.  Truth is they just wanted the free giveaways and/or can't afford the ORECK.

Hi,

I can't say if it's a winner either but I'd wager that there'll be a rush to buy.  It's a vacuum cleeaner and it's cheap and people for whom it's affordable will buy it, run it into the ground and go back for another one because -- it doesn't cost a lot of money.

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 am not a fan of cheap bagless vacuums.  My biggest problem with "cheap bagless vacuums", is that their long term costs tend to be high and the performance after a short time tends to be poor.  The cheap vacuums also tend to have substandard tools and short cords.   If you have to get up and personal with a dirty filter, why not go with a bagged vacuum and avoid the trouble.   I don't know anything about this vacuum, but I would hesitate to recommend any bagless vacuum that didn't use at least dual cyclone technology to minimize filter maintenance and to maximize suction.   I would rather pay more and get something that I enjoy using over the long term.   Anyone know the expected 5 year cost of one of these?

Here is the ORECK halo toy vacuum, demoed by a Mommy's helper,  which during the Christmas Holidays was given away with purchase of ORECK halo vacuums.  It was selling for $59-$75 until recently and came down to $54.  Interesting that the Dirt Devil Quick Vac is $39 vice a ORECK toy vacuum at $54.  For the record, I bought a generic toy vacuum in two tone pink for the grands for $20 on sale [also pictured].  The old DIRT DEVIL , which looks like the DD Quick Vac in smaller scale, suffered a broken handle after 4 + years usage.  It cost $20 new and gave excellent service for the price [a new set of batteries every so often].  I'll part it out/repair and replace with the new improved color.

I saw this Henry 'desktop vac' the other day. Around 10 GBP.

I got the little Henry vac for my Xmas last year and its actually pretty good - comes with a tiny little crevice tool or a t shaped floor head. Would be better if it had brushes on the end though! Quite a funky looking thing and actually picks up computer laptop keyboard dust etc. Hope less on small bits of paper though.

As for the Vax Mach Air, Ive already done a review about it on here.

The Dirt Devil Quick Vac pictured is also the Hoover Alyx upright in the UK. I had one and it was noisy but an effective upright vac that has the worst plastic Ive ever sampled. Dynammite/Quick Lite by Vax so much better as a comparison although an older design.

Hi,

I've been looking at several spins on this same machine for a while.  I like it but had my doubts about it catching on in the American market.  This vacuum is also sold under the Electrolux brand.  It's very similar to the model vacuumanuk made mention of being tested on TV.
