a guilty pleasure....

[orecklover]

Recently my guilty pleasure of buying things have gotten the best of me, I usually never buy that many vacuums. Maybe if I'm lucky I would get two vacuums a month, but this week is maybe an exception. A few days ago I made a deal with a fellow member to buy an Oreck XL Ultra 40th Anniversary Edition. I was lucky enough to purchase that Oreck for an amazing forty dollars! I will also include a picture of that Oreck. But something else happened.... Just recently I spent some more money on something every Oreck "enthusiast" must have. That would be an Oreck XL21! Yesterday, I was lucky enough to be the highest bidder on an Oreck XL21. Amazingly I was the only bidder and the ending price was 9.99, with shipping I payed $35. I've always wanted an XL21. For those who have one, what are they like? Also yesterday, when me and my parents were driving to the store, right by my house was a HUGE estate sale. On the front lawn with furniture and some little appliances was a vacuum. I couldn't tell what it was but it was an upright and it looked maybe like a Hoover Windtunnel T-Series (that was the first thing that came to my mind) but I'm not sure, but it could be something newer or older. Should I take a chance and see if I can get this mystery vac? Not to mention I also had the chance to buy an Oreck XL4000 from Kyle, but I don't know if I'm able to get it yet as I don't know how much he wants for it yet. The Oreck looks like its in amazing shape though. I'm on an Oreck Spree and these vacs just keep getting better!

*also pictures are included of everything except the mystery vac As it is the mystery vac, I will not be sharing anything I know about it until I get it (as I don't know much about it) That's when the mystery vac gets revealed. Also since the Oreck XL4000 is vintage, I don't really know where this thread belongs, but since there are more modern vacs here, I will put it in contemporary.*

Thank you,
Tyler.

Oh no....

Some bad news. The mystery vac was sold before I could get it ;( I will keep you guys updated with the other vacs though.

You better buy an Oreck upright and compare it to the Elite, John!

LOL John,

I'll have the Convertible Guard patrol the house tonight! Convertibles on ground, Porta-Powers in the trees, Dial-A-Matics, ready in the missile silo (Don't tell those HOOVERS in congress i have a missile silo!). Remember, all they have to do is turn a key! 

 

[gottahaveahoove]

Doesn't EVERYONE'S home

have all that? Every night? When I asked Bob, Dick, and Dan (all in N Canton) if they thought it was odd to have 400+HOOVER products in one home, and they said, "absolutely not". There ya go!!

 

[super-sweeper]

I wouldn't know, John!

But if everyone has missiles in their backyard, I'm moving (And taking the HOOVERS) to Canada! 

 

[gottahaveahoove]

There are bodies in MY backyard!

And, in the front, too. I planted trees years ago with my father and we unearthted dishes as well.
You all know about the human pelvis that came up when they were digging for a footer in the front of the house.
But, as far as HOOVERS, I have an entie arsenal. So, I'm ready.........."All the dirt, all the grit, HOOVER gets it every bit, for ..........."

 

[super-sweeper]

we're out-numbered!

But I could always call on back-up from our allies, the KIRBYS! 

 

[gottahaveahoove]

After that convention

( loved it all ) I think I'm all "Kirbyed out!"

 

[super-sweeper]

than i declare victory!

And raise the bag-flag of the 505!
