Commercial Orecks

Matt: Sorry, we didn't have that stuff available.

Mike: I'm not sure where you can find Kapok, all I know is the manager at Oreck orders it. Maybe you could find it at a local vacuum shop from their demos?

Dave: Yep, the Dyson failed on the Kapok test, although it seemed to pick up the carpet powder better than the first two new Orecks. Both of the newest Orecks had trouble picking up the powder, infact they never got all of it out, but surprisingly the Dyson didn't have any trouble!

I think it's a tie between the Dutch-tech and the Sani-Oreck (Sanitare).

Everyone: I forgot to add that all of the machines had new/slightly used bags, and the Dyson had an empty bin.

Oops, forgot some replies!

Dave: Usually we never have snow, and if we did it would never stick on anything. This year it was different, we had a few blizzards, and lots of ice. It caused a lot of trouble, such as a metro bus hanging off the edge of the freeway.

Brett: I'm not sure about the brush roll. I think it only had brushes and no beater bars.

Thank you for posting pictures of this! I wanted to see it since I read on that other thread (which I can't find anymore) that Eureka was rebadging machines for Oreck. I went to the Oreck web site and any pictures of them (though I did it on my Wing instead of my computer, so could have missed something).
