Czarina Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 I have a regular Oreck that I bought about 10 years ago, it was about $300 at the time. Still works like a champ. I don't think I could ever shell out that kind of money for a vacuum cleaner, but hey, if you're into that sort of thing... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yo mama Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 (edited) wise advice. the entire house was looking sharp ... i'll need to beat you in the finals to pay for this thing. More than likely, you'll need to find a different way to pay for it. After all, my team is "Irish-approved."

Donutrun Jellies Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 so we need a new vacuum. i come home from work to find my wife has bought an oreck titanium something or other for the whopping total of $750+. Come to think of it, I once bought a 12 year old VW Superbeetle for $350 (chick magnet) and later in life bought a 14 year old Honda Civic (with a sun roof) for $400 ... Okay, admittedly, neither lasted more than a year, but boy, were they fun wrecks to crash around in ... And you got a vacuum cleaner for $750. Hey, have fun with that.

AtomicCEO Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 I bought a series of $70 vacuums before I realized that a $300 one was a better value. I don't know about no $750, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyclones Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 I bought a series of $70 vacuums before I realized that a $300 one was a better value. I don't know about no $750, though. In college I had a brief (2 month) stint selling Filter Queen vaccuums. Retail wa $1867 but we were authorized to take as little as $800 to close the deal. I sold 5 total in the 2 months, then got a new job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
untateve Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 I pay that much for a vaccuum cleaner, it better come with an auto-suck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gerry.harris Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 My parents have a Rainbow vac that was a little over $2,000 and my wife's mother bought us a vaccume cleaner that was about $1,500 for one of our wedding gifts. Both a huge wast of money if you ask me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperCharger Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 My wife and I bought a Dyson for around $500 and it's been the best we've ever had and no bags is awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
