I did a little test just for fun. I used my new Oreck Platinum for one month. I only used the Oreck and Oreck portable. Then I put a new bag in my Kirby Legend. Check the results out. I think the Oreck gave a pretty good performance. The Kirby did get more dirt and it was very fine dirt. I don't think I will make fun of the little Oreck anymore.

Where do you get such huge quantities of dirt and lint in your house? If I'm vacuuming normally, I can't even fill a Kirby bag in a year! Much less a month!

It takes me 3-4 months to fill a TriStar bag to the point of throwing away...and that's with me, 2 ferrets, and a long-haired dog living in the house!

Oreck Test

 Hey guys that is about the same amount I would get from my Kirby used on main floor and the Electrolux upstairs) This is for an entire month for about 3000 square feet and I have 2 cocker spaniels running around.
I KNOW my yellow Oreck XL would not get this much dirt.
The Patinum seems to have a lot more air-flow on the carpet.
Maybe it looks like a lot because I had to pull it out of the Oreck's bag.
I did notice that what the Kirby got was very very fine dirt. I think for fun I will reverse the trail and use only my Kirby for a month and then see what the Oreck gets up.

I guess...

 From a house that big with two dogs that is right.

Twice a Month

 Around our house, we usually use a Sanitaire daily and a Tristar CXL once a week. With two dogs and kids in and out, that will fill up the bags in both vacuums in a month easily. That didn't seem unusual to me at all.

thanks for the testing and the info....kinda giges you something to think abt....in the platinum didnt they go with the larger outter bag to increase airflow for better pick up. looking forward to the rest of your testing...great job..what is the condition of the brushrolls on your vacs,,do you have any pics.

do you have newer carpet, it sheds for a while. our neighbours got new and thought their vac (dirt devil) was ripping out the carpet fibers. the bin was always full of rug fuzz.
