many of the Hotels and motels throughout Atlantic City the Taj Mahal being their biggest customer .
Sand is a plenty in my town and Orecks have held up for years the Taj maintains their own machines and I know the maintenance man who repairs them I used to sell him parts and he and the housekeeping staff love Orecks . They are easy to repair and parts in bulk are inexpensively purchased brush rolls are $25.00 each that's what he pays for them being used daily around the clock 24/7 he replaces the brush roll once every 4 months after weekly adjustments. They and all the other Hotels and Motels use Orecks and they all like and have continually purchased and used them since the beginning. A lot of the Local cleaning services also use Orecks to clean the beach homes throughout my local area . They have tried other brands but stick with Oreck for the simple repairs , but easy on the house keeping staff and extra large bags . Dan |

This is my experience and my opinion just like you I have one plus over 30 years experience in vacuum repairs plus owned a cleaning business where I used Orecks for new home construction clean up which is tougher than summer turn overs . Plus casinos with heavy trafic being used 24/7 365 Orecks hold up in this environment.
My store I managed saw more tune ups than repairs if anything a brush roll repair or user abuse . Dan |

My girlfriend used to have an Oreck when we first got together. I was never impressed with it. She's a former hairstylist and still does it a little at home for "under the table" money. Her most frequent clients are her boss at her day job and me. She tries to schedule his haircuts and mine on the same evenings so I can vacuum up afterwards. The Oreck was absolutely lousy at picking up hair. It would take me dozens of passes over the same area to get most--but never all--of it up. Mostly it would just spread the hair around.
She 'borrowed' my Kirby Heritage HD-1 about two years ago and still has it. That beast picks up ALL the hair in a single pass. It takes me longer to get the thing out and plug it in than it does to actually vacuum up the hair cutting area. It works so well that she pitched the Oreck into the dumpster shortly after she borrowed the Kirby. It has not been missed. I guess the only way I'll get to keep that Kirby is if I keep her too. |

Oreck---an expensive "Broom" vacuum.Indeed,the Taconoy compact vacuums are better than the Oreck---and less expensive. |
