In this world of brand loyalty, Americans are especially dedicated to those product lines that they feel operate at a superior level. For this reason, the classic brands - the brands that consistently outperform all others - are those that we will go to great lengths to purchase over and over again. And when it comes to the products that we use in our homes, we are even more steadfast in our expectations. The Oreck vacuum, with its long held reputation for dependability and effectiveness, has also long held the public's admiration and support.

The Oreck Corporation, founded in Louisiana in 1963, was the brainchild of David Oreck who began by producing traditional upright vacuums for use in the hospitality industry - mostly as a cleaning tool used by hotel staff in the United States. The mission of the Oreck Corporation at that time was simple; to design a vacuum that could stand up to consistent use and still maintain its effectiveness; and to design it in such a way that hotel staffers who were using the vacuum could easily maneuver it throughout the course of a long day. The Oreck vacuum was subsequently designed to be lightweight and exceedingly portable.

Hotel staffers who used the Oreck vacuum on a regular basis were thrilled with its dependability; but more importantly they were pleased to have a vacuum that they could carry and transfer with little effort. The fact that the Oreck vacuum provided as much as it did in such a lightweight and compact design was what made it revolutionary.

Recognizing the demand that such a vacuum would have in the general consumer market, the Oreck Corporation soon began producing vacuums for retail sale. The public did, in fact, sit up and take notice and before long the Oreck vacuum was one of the most popular vacuum designs on the market.

Today, the Oreck vacuum is sold throughout the United States, Canada, and South America as its reputation grows for dependability, efficiency, and convenient and compact design. Households everywhere have come to rely upon Oreck's unique brand of efficiency.

Of course, with the changing times also came the implementation of additional designs and the Oreck vacuum continued to expand its services to meet the needs of a vastly different public. The product line offered by Oreck today includes a multitude of machines including the classic upright - different models of which offer varying filtration systems - everything from basic to hypo-allergenic to HEPA filtration; compact canister vacuum cleaners with varying capabilities; wet and dry vacuum cleaners; and even floor cleaners.

The Oreck vacuum can be purchased in authorized stores throughout North and South America, as well as through their website. And while some may consider the price to be a bit on the high side, the expense can be worth it - saving you precious time and money for many years.

But most importantly, the Oreck Corporation's reputation for keeping its products current and providing comprehensive customer service continues to draw a wider customer base every day. The future of the Oreck vacuum is one that will surely provide customers with a multitude of efficient and sophisticated products for many years to come.
