I sure hope so
I think Tacony would be a way better parent company than TTI. TTI seems to love throwing out plasticrap and generic designs. I will have to check my local Oreck store because my closest vacuum shop has some rude and disrespectful check out people who apparently no zero about anything and are total jerks. Anyway that's another story for a different day but I hope my Oreck store has Tacony machines because I can't get them anywhere else. I have a Synergy but it will not be serviced at the other vacuum shop ever again.

@Hoover78
Technically they're not supposed to do that. I know aren't worth crap used to scold us if we even had a Hoover product in the store. Miele was okay at the time. But TTI had a major "reorganization " dismissed a bunch of IT staff. So my understanding right now Oreck stores kind of have a free-for-all situation ,until TTI figures out what it's right and left hand are doing. Some Oreck stores changed over to "multi-line stores " which is a different situation but basically those stores pay more for Oreck product. | ||

I think now it's gotten to a point where the only way the remaining Oreck stores can survive is by being multi-line stores. Before closing, a nearby Oreck store was selling Miele. I've noticed a change in the quality (or lack thereof) of Oreck vacuums since TTI took over. Cords seem cheaper, the plastics used flimsier. I'm surprised an Oreck store would take in Riccar though. The Supralite is in direct competition with Oreck's 8 lb. upright. Definitely better build quality than their Magnesium line though.

Tom Oreck got the Oreck stores for himself when Oreck went bankrupt and TTI took over. There are Riccar 8 pound uprights labeled as Oreck, but just sold in Oreck stores - not on-line. Just like there are Riccar 8 pound uprights (corded and cordless) labeled and sold as Aerus Electrolux. It's called Private Labeling.

I had a boss who swore by Oreck.
We also had a family friend who spent a pretty penny on one as well.
I remember DAVE Oreck on TV boasting his 8lb vacuum. Things have changed. I believe DAVE Oreck was able to salvage a lot. WE don't see DAVE Oreck anymore. Did he pass away? Is he quietly in the background? What happened to DAVE Oreck? | ||

It's not just Riccar
Some of the Oreck stores in my state sells Simplicity. My local Oreck store was going to sell Simplicity but there's like a rule where if a dealer has already taken Simplicity like us, they would have no choice but to sell Riccar instead and so they did.
Another thing from my local Oreck store is not only they sell Oreck and Riccar but they also sell other TTI brands like Hoover, Dirt Devil, and Royal. They also sell Miele and they just recently started selling Bissell shortly after we quit selling Bissell. Sanitaire now has lightweight uprights that are also privately labeled from Tacony. | ||

Wow! Pretty soon tacony could take over the whole vacuum mkt Which is a good thing, they do have great quality products... sorta reminiscent of when Hoover was a real vacuum mfr.. and made rebadged products for sears, jcpenney, Montgomery Wards, etc.... | ||

@Hoover78 I seriously doubt that . Especially considering how poorly run Tacony is right now. Their market share is not even a measurable percent of the market right now. Maybe if they change things up and get an entirely new staff it's possible or sell their company to a bigger company that knows how to Drive.

Entrepreneur, Businessman, Salesman & Marketer Personality
I watched David Oreck's commercials on the Oreck Vacuum for many years and I grew up watching Ron Popeil's Veg-O-Matic commercials.
These were men of great success and I believe knew when it was time to move on from these enterprises. I do have great respect for them and others like them and the company’s women started and own. | ||

I enjoy the Finer Things in life.
@Hoover78 That is off subject.
Maybe learn a little bit about me and follow my hashtag. #CentralVacuumpropaganda Or even consider looking at my YouTube channel :D Back to the subject of Oreck stores. At the end of the day TTI has saved Oreck and Hoover from Extinction. I have little complaints about what TTI has done. CLICK HERE TO GO TO vacuumdevil's LINK | ||

NORTH CANTON is actually a very nice area.
It is 'Downtown, U.S.A.". The Hoover Company was massive..............and drove the economy of the area. 3,000 employees. (had its own police, fire dept as well as its own 'hospital'. It was something, indeed. I walk downtown there every year. I've never had any problems, whatsoever. But, I know that there are problems everywhere.
