I've been pondering for a while now on buying a handheld vacuum to use on my blinds, baseboards etc. So tired of dragging the Dyson around, and, honestly speaking once you extend the hose it gets awkward. Easily kinks. Especially on furniture and loses suction. Furthermore I am tired of breaking down the canister, cleaning filters etc. Safe to say I have grown so sick and tired of my Dyson. I popped into Oreck to see what they had going. When you first walk in it's like going back in time to the 60's & 70's. The uprights look antique for sure. Just slim skinny devices with a bag. I've never had an Oreck before. I was disappointed there weren't any reviews on this place. I checked out the Oreck Ultimate Handheld for $150. The cool sales lady, Tausha, was very knowledgeable and attentive. She demonstrated with the cleaner and allowed me to test it out. It is comfortable and lightweight and has enough suction to lift a 16# bowling ball! I was impressed with this thing so I asked what kind of deals they had. They take trade-ins and they had a sale going on. If I buy the upright cleaner, Magnesium RS, they would knock off $50 on the handheld, but, I couldn't use my trade-in offer as the uprights were on sale. So I figured why not investigate more. I'm really tired of my Dyson (it's 10 years old). I'm here for a handheld so why not check out the uprights? Again I was impressed with the Magnesium RS. It weighs less than 8#, has a full 360 swivel on the head, two speed control, and lays completely flat allowing you to maneuver under furniture. So after vacuuming Oreck's entire floor I decided I would take one of them also. The upright is normally $600. Today they had it onsale for $200 off and I got an additional $50 off for purchasing the handheld! So total combo deal was $500! Plus they RS has a seven year warranty with five free tune ups and I have 30 days to return them if I don't like them. Overall I'm satisfied that I got a good deal and this will make vacuuming my house so much easier and faster. Me on the handheld and spouse on the upright or who knows I may break it down to a two day event. One day for walls, blinds, baseboards, ceiling fans etc. Day two for floors and under furniture. By for now I'm off on a Oreck adventure!!
I recently took my Orcek vacuum in for some repairs at the north location of Oreck near Lakeline mall. i had amazing service and wanted to share this. Not only does my vacuum have a 21 year warrantly but most of time when I take it in for repairs they are don't on the spot. Great customer service everytime!!
