Black Friday vacuums

[Anhedonius]

Not Black Friday, but Cyber Monday...

Costco.com is discounting their Sebo Felix package that includes the extension wand, hose, and turbo brush along with eight bags, which is usually offered at the standard retail price for the vacuum alone of $599, by $150. If I didn't have my Synchrony Premium (that's too big for my house, anyway), I'd get it. There weren't any Sebos at the three locations (out of maybe eight or nine) of the one local non-Oreck or Aerus vacuum store to see or try out (which is why I got the Synchrony―they pushed Simplicity), but since Costco now has it, a buyer can return it for any reason at any time.

I scoured the Wal-Mart website. I searched specifically the Wal-Mart Marketplace sellers in case it might be one of them selling it. I even called the store on the "20 Loop" also known as the Bob Bullock Loop and they said they have never sold any vacuums called Aerus or Lux and that they don't sell re-manufactured or re-conditioned vacuums at all, never have... Now, I happen to know that Wal-Mart as a company is famous for keeping it's employees in the dark and that most people who work at Wal-Mart are imbeciles. (Most, not all) But I struggle to believe that a company that has stringently sold only through authorized dealers for the entirety of it's existence would all of a sudden up and sell through the very organization that is trying to kill them off especially since it is listed nowhere on their website, nowhere in their ads (nation or local, I looked), corporate office has no idea about it, and even the very store you say you saw it in says they never have. Furthermore, if you did see it there, you would be a total fool to not purchase every single on, taking out a mortgage on your house or a loan against your car if necessary, to be able to turn them at at least 300% profit within a week... I'm sorry, but unless we on the forum, all of the aforementioned sources, and logic itself are totally wrong and stupid, you're lying... end of story. Sorry if I offended anyone.

BISSELL 3 IN 1

I bought A Bissell 3 in 1 for my office, it was 9 bucks I think! It does pretty good for quick pick up!

Pardon the inaccurate info...

but the vac shop owner here in Laredo said one thing about Aerus at WalMart, then said HEB Plus! & not WalMart, then said Lacks Furniture was selling Aerus vacs.

One vac shop owner in Corpus Christi said that people in the "South Texas Triangle" (Corpus Christi, Laredo, Brownsville areas) want to buy Aerus vacuums but most of us in that area are low-income folks who can't afford Aerus floor care products, so they said (but not sure if it's true or not) that ONLY Lacks Furniture & NEITHER WalMart or HEB Plus! may want to sell pre-owned Aerus?

Too much conflicting stories I don't know which to believe! To make things worse, the Laredo vac shop owner probably doesn't speak good English (mostly Spanish) & began shouting obscenities in Spanish about what he thinks about Aerus; which I felt VERY offended.

Yes but you have

posted the same thing about Aerus being sold at walmart HEB+ and lacks furniture and I have called all 3 places and they all say they don`t and have never sold Aerus.
I also called Aerus and they don`t sell reconditioned Aerus vacuums to any store as Aerus vacuums are only sold by Aerus dealers.

Lacks furniture actually closed all stores in January according to their website and only operates to accept payments from their customers. If you want to draw attention to your posts, great, that's what we're all here for. Do so by posting something interesting or posing a question or something. But throwing out a rumor about a super cheap modern lux vacuum, even if it is the bottom of the line and even if it is recon, that just sends us all into a frenzy to figure out how we're going to explain to our spouse or partner why we need yet another vacuum. Seriously, what did you think was gonna happen? Did you think that we wouldn't all try to find them so we could buy one? Look at the previous ad for the Hoover Windtunnel Air, legit ad, awesome price that most of us wouldn't have seen, many of us bought it... But anyway, we all make mistakes, and I'm done talking about this one way or the other. You won't here another comment from me on this topic. Again, sorry if I offended anyone.

I guess I've been lied to by the local vac shop! Makes me wonder if the vac shop owner understands English?

I don't know if the vac shop owner needs to learn better English? Sounds like he might be an undocumented immigrant who crossed the border?

I apologise for the misleading info about Aerus.

 

[filterqueenman]

Rude!

I take GREAT offense to your comment!  As it has been stated in the past you have said Wal-Mart was selling Aerus.  You went so far as to post a pic in your comment. 


 


Please do not use other people for your inaccurate posts!  Just say you made a mistake and leave it at that...to go say what you did about a shop owner was just intolerance and I can not stand that.  I too called Wal-Mart to try to score a machine and was told the same...they do not, have not, and no plans to ever carry Aerus.

oops!

This was all MY & no one else's fault. I guess I got too carried away with Black Friday & Cyber Monday. This ALWAYS happens to me when Black Friday and/or Cyber Monday comes.

I wanted a Kindle for Christmas; but I don't know if I'm going to end up getting the real thing, or a counterfeit version of a Kindle? So hard to tell which is the real McCoy?

 

[lunchboxsean]

Ok, he's admitted fault. Lets move on from this, now. I think this topic has reached the end of the rainbow which happens to be a pretty nice PN... Get it??? End of the rainbow??????

I don't know if any in-home salespeople had any Black Friday specials on sale? For example, a Kirby or Rainbow x% off retail price?

 

[kirbyloverdan]

I own that

Brand new Rainbow E2 Onyx and love it . The best Eseries ever ...

 

[floor-a-matic]

I've yet to buy one but at this time it's just too expensive!

Maybe I'll find a pre-owned one on eBay?

I noticed today Kmart has bagged and bagless Windtunnels on for $99. Also it looks like they may have replaced the red/white Kenmore Canister with non quick release PowerMate with the blue/white Canister with quick release. I'm not sure if the red canister is on sale, but I saw stacks of them. They also had stacks of the yellow Kenmore bagless canister.
