Oreck

I am not sure if you are all familiar with the vacuum cleaner company Oreck. They have some annoying commercials? Anyway, I love their products. I trialed my first vacuum 5 years ago (to get a free lamp) and loved it. I, however, did not love the price of $500. so I sent it back after the 30 day free trial. I have been pineing away over it and finally trialed it again ( to get a free cordless iron). This time we have a dog in the house and even more active kids. It was awesome, I moved ALL of the furniture in the house to vacuum under it before I sent it back. I cannot justify $500. Joe even gave me the ok to keep it. My giddiness makes him happy I think. You see, I vacuum almost every day. I admit I am a little OCD.
After I reluctantly sent the vacuum back, they sent a flyer in the mail for a special. "For Oreck owners only: you may buy one additional vacuum for $199." I jumped at the chance. I got it on tuesday and have been, again, giddy with excitement. My family thinks I am nuts. My rationale for $199 is this: you not only get a great vacuum, but also yearly tune ups and belt changes and can trade it in at any time. You don't get that with a dyson. I just vacuumed the upstairs, now off to do the downstairs. Happy Vacuuming!
