I have been on a bit of a shopping spree the last few months. First was my Oreck XL-Plus Which I got on clearance at Target for $198.00 |

Next was a Hoover T-Series bagged, Pet Addition. I am not a big fan of this vacuum, it just seems to be missing something. |

I found a Kirby Ultimate G with all attachments at a Garage Sale for $35.00, all it needed was a new belt and a bit of cleaning. I ended up giving it to my neighbor to replace her Regina Housekeeper which had seen many better days. |

I also got an Oreck Gold, I actually am selling this one I am just not a fan of it at all it doe snot do a good job on my carpet and just seems to bog down alot. It does do a good job on the shorter pile carpet and such tho. |

Gold and I also have the same carpet as you and it works perfectly on my carpet . The only time it bogs down if the AC is off and its starts to get humid . Other than that it does the best on my carpet along with the Platinum Pilot . Try cleaning the bottom if need be or just use some furniture polish or a good car wax on the base plate that sometimes helps.

Awesome deal on the Kirby! I thought the one I found for $100 was great, but yours knocked that deal outta the park! :) |

Dan thanks for the tip with the Gold, it did help a it to glide much better on the carpet, I may have to keep her a bit longer now. The Target Oreck is a great machine, I was initially afraid that they would cheapen it up for the big box market but they did not. |
