How David Oreck Built his Vacuum Empire
David Oreck was originally interested in making a vacuum cleaner that did not lose suction, and that was light and easy to work with. He was upset with the vacuum cleaners that he had seen, because they always lost suction when they started to get full and they were so heavy that many individuals complained about them. This was the case whether they had bags or a canister, and David Oreck decided he was going to find a way to do something about it. From that, the Oreck vacuum was born. The problem was that most people did not think that the Oreck vacuum would actually perform the way it was intended to because it was so light and small, and so they did not buy it. It took David Oreck some time to convince people that his vacuum cleaner was better than others, and that a lightweight vacuum could still do everything that a heavier and larger vacuum could do.
There are still people that would dispute whether his vacuum cleaner is better, but there are many indications that it is of a high quality. Most people that buy an Oreck vacuum like it very much and feel that it was well worth the money that they paid for it. Naturally, this is good for Oreck. However, it is bad for other vacuum companies for two reasons. First, it takes business away from them. Second, many of them had the opportunity to buy Orecks vacuum cleaner when he first created it. However, they all turned him down, which is what caused him to start his own company in the first place. Originally, he marketed it to hotels and businesses, and after it was doing well there he marketed it to consumers as well. Where one of these other vacuum companies could have made a lot of money from the Oreck vacuums, they have now become one of their greatest competitors.
Where vacuum cleaners are concerned, the Oreck brand is still growing in popularity. It has not been in existence for that many years, so there are still some that worry that it will not be able to hold up to scrutiny in future years. However, so far the Oreck brand is going strong, and David Oreck has continued to extend the brand and the work that he is doing. One of the ways that David Oreck has built up his vacuum empire is through expanding into other areas, and also through making sure that he has many different models of vacuum cleaner available. This diversification has allowed Oreck vacuums to continue to be one of the market leaders in the vacuum cleaner industry.
Vacuum cleaners come in so many different shapes and sizes today, and they offer so many different attachments, that the price of vacuum cleaners for what is given to the consumer is actually very good. However, there are still many vacuum cleaners that are more expensive than others. Some of this is with good reason, and some of it is not. With Oreck vacuums, the fact that they are so small and light but still do everything that a larger, heavier, and less maneuverable vacuum cleaner can do is worth paying for in the eyes of most consumers. These Oreck vacuums can be used in all sorts of homes and businesses, and the hotel industry has used them for years. As consumer popularity continues to grow, it will not be surprising if Oreck earns the title of best vacuum cleaners.
The only real drawback to the Oreck Vacuums is the cost. While they are not as expensive as some other vacuum cleaner brands, they are still much more costly than the vacuum cleaners that can be purchased at common retail chain stores. Because of the cost of the vacuum cleaners themselves, those that purchase them are not likely to find inexpensive vacuum parts for them anywhere, including online. This does not mean that good deals are not available, but only that the cost of replacement parts is not going to be as good as the cost of replacement parts for the less expensive vacuum cleaners.
Most customers expect this, however, and they know that, when they purchase an Oreck, they are getting high quality and they must pay for that quality. If they want only inexpensive vacuum parts for inexpensive vacuums, an Oreck would not be a good choice. Oreack vacuums are among the best, despite the fact that they have not been available for consumers to buy for a long period of time. If the company continues to grow like it has in the recent past, it will take very little time before it surpasses some of the better-known vacuum cleaners of today in sales volume and profits.

Through a particulate analysis on YouTube, I show how well the Oreck vacuum works and truly traps the dust. My findings prove that the Miele Vacuum is completely sealed and really is HEPA.
Miele Vacuum Video As Featured on ABC 7 News
You can see from this video that the Miele will trap all of the particles in a cloth like bag that self-seals on its way out and you are actually purifying the air in your house by vacuuming! The filtration is 99.95% effective at 0.3 microns which is amazing. Thanks to its HEPA filter and super intensive clean bags the vacuum is able to achieve this kind of filtration.
Also check-out my blog called Consumer Reporter - a vehicle to educate consumers about the vacuum and air purification market.

I disagree with the assessment that Oreck vacuums are amoung the best. I purchased and Oreck upright 5 years ago and already have over $100 of repairs into it after only light housework. I paid multiple times for this vacuum that I would for an alternative brand and it has performed less than the cheaper models particularly in reliability. Everyone I know that has an oreck has had the problem of the power coard failing in the handle and had no option to take it to an authorized dealer because of the way it is constructed. I have had major $500 power tools that can have the power cord replaced in a garage with a screwdriver, but on an oreck, the power cord terminations are sealed and the consumer is forced to take the route of a highly expensive repair. Shame on you Oreck.
