    I have a "blue body" Oreck commercial vacuum I bought from the vac shop here.Looks like I could get one of those "Best Western" Hotel bags and put it on the machine I have.Oreck dealers sell the Blue Body commercial Oreck vacuums.The Oreck I have has the orange 3 pin commercial cord.

    These sweepers are still available as new.The vac shop here sells them.Restaurants have to use them.Vacuums can't be used.Also movie theaters used the sweepers.They were good for cleanups in between showings.

    Where do people get off with their prcing?

    The price gouging is hurting our hobby much like what happened to lamps,fans,and radios.Some folks are willing or dumb enough to pay the outlandish prices-not me!!!

    Sebo Softcase CE12 in USA!
