Vacuum Cleaners Discussions

For those interested, I just got the latest Costco coupon thingy and a $60.00 off coupon is being offered from May 13th to June 6th -- in my area and at Costco Online -- for the Oreck XL Pro Plus.  This includes the lightweight upright and portable vacs plus a turbo tool and year's supply of bags.

Have to agree turtle.  COSTCO is not the only big box retailer which carries and sells ORECK vacuums.  Other big box retailers do also.  I expect to see even more BBR stores sell the ORECK brand of vacuums and even ORECK air purifiers.   Probably sooner than we think rather than later.

HI Carmine

How well do they sell at costco..[you would think very well]..and how do their prices compare to the oreck stores.

COSTCO prices for ORECK are competitive with the authorized ORECK stores.  Maybe too much so.  Ask Lucky1.  However, ORECK has chosen to keep its latest and greatest models in ORECK stores while allowing big box retailers to sell the older discontinued ORECK models.  I think it's a win win for ORECK and vacuum customers.  Lucky1 probably feels differently.  I must say ORECK's timing was absolutely superb.  ORECK never shuttered stores up to the recent economic downturn in 2008.  But since 2008, unfortunately, some ORECK stores have closed.  Not many but some for a variety of reasons not completely related to just ORECK.  For example, typically ORECK stores are located in malls that have one or more big name stores as anchors to draw customer traffic.  Some of these stores closed and left the malls.  Customer traffic suffered.  ORECK suffered.  ORECK's move to big box retailers could not have been better economic and business timing.

Correction:  The ORECK duo at COSTCO comes with a 3 year warranty not 2.  I received the COSTCO sale ad with ORECK $60 coupon in the mail.  Thanks for the heads-up Venson.  Sale starts May 13 and runs thru June 6.
