I also had an Oreck Steam-It mop and it worked very well on hard surfaces; picked up so much dirt on the floors, but my mom was looking for one so I gave it to her as it would be easier for her to use than the Floormate.

Those floor scrubbers you are looking at look more for use in a commercial setting. Might be overkill for a home, especially if they are expensive. I have the Hoover Floormate (a used one I found at a thrift store) and it seems to work well so far. It is one of the original models if I am not...

Yeah, would be nice if the charge time could be much quicker. That Kobalt push mower I have, which takes a hefty lithium ion battery can fully charge from zero in 30 minutes. Wish these vacuums could do that!

Mark, how long does the V10 take to charge?

Maybe we will be pleasantly surprised :)

@vacomatic While it is pretty expensive, its an interesting looking machine. And, its nice to see Oreck coming out with something new at least. They have had some great machines over the years and they sold well. Speaking of commercials or a lack thereof, I don't believe I have ever seen a...

I am guessing that an electric powered nozzle would have caused the battery life to be greatly reduced.

Well, I think it is an interesting product and I'm excited to at least try it out.

I see now, it does say air powered floorhead. I've never used one before so not sure how they perform. I foresee no issues on the hard surfaces, but carpets may be a different story.

I was wondering about that too. It does however say that the brushroll tool is air powered.

Looks like the Oreck POD is now finally available for purchase! I'm waiting for my local Oreck store to get them in stock so I can run it through the paces. Great to see that it has a 100 day "Love It" guarantee and a 3-year warranty. https://www.oreck.com/pod-technology-cordless-vacuum/

I'm sure both Kirby and Aerus want their customers to come into their respective stores to purchase accessories like bags, filters, belts, etc. They can of course charge their hefty prices. However, I always feel when you go into one of those specialty stores, you know that for the most part...

How dare they use the good Electrolux name on that! :)

No cat fights....... :)

@niclonnic "Again, the Prolux was still there, and I didn't get it. Looks like it's a tough sell." A lot of people will probably take one look at the Prolux and think it looks old fashioned or they don't want it because they are used to seeing an upright bagless vacuum with on-board...

niclonnic If I recall correctly, it was the dark green model. I wasn't sure of the amps though.

It's evident that Dyson put a lot of thought into this new machine, especially with the easier to access filters and the wall bumper. He does mention in the video that the vacuum sits heaver in the docking station so I wonder how that plug "post" charging port will hold up over time. Were the...

I saw an original Fantom Fury the other weekend at the Goodwill. It looked almost unused on the floor, but its dust bin stunk so bad that I'm surprised anyone bought or wanted it. Smelled like dirty feet! It was gone by the next weekend though so someone took the plunge. That's one of my...

Nice! You should drink a V8 while you use your V8!

So many balls..... :)
