Ok I got the latest from a lovely woman named Charlotte at Oreck Customer Service.
The Oreck Cordless Pod will be released in the Spring, she is guessing June and it will first ONLY be available in the Oreck Branded Stores and she was not clear if the “preorder” online orders would be delivered before or at the same time the Store releases them.
She said the “Pod” is the disposal method which is a fiber/paper bag with plastic cap and it snaps into the vacuum but when its full and you dispose of it she said you don’t touch the pod, just eject it into the trash for clean hands free disposal.
It is going to be $499 but it will come with many attachments and lots of features (Mini Motorized Brushroll, Dusting Brush, Upholstery tool and Crevice are just some of them, She said there is about 8 attachment tools for the Pod. It will run for 40 minutes on a 2 1/2 hour charge and the battery is NOT removable. So far the non-removable battery is the only thing I see I wont like.
They were told about this Pod in December and she said the latest information for them is still rather vague as it’s literally still in the final development stages. If you sign up with your email at Oreck you will be kept informed of new information regarding the Oreck Cordless Pod.
I can’t wait to order this and if they don’t do online ordering first.. I’ll be driving an hour to the nearest Oreck Store. She said they will NOT be sold in the dealer stores that sell other vacuums and Oreck but only in the actual Oreck branded Stores.
Thanks so much for sharing
@singingrainbow. I’d just looked at the Oreck site the other day and didn’t see this. I will let you guys know on here if I find out anything else.
