My favorite chore around the house is vacuumming. There is something about freshly combed and cleaned carpet. It may sound weird but to me it feels like the balance gets restored and the space feels cleansed. Maybe the essense is similar to the raking of the pebbles of a Japanese Zen garden. It helps a lot that the vacuum clearner is very efficient and light weight that’s why it feels more of a meditation than a chore. It’s also easy to take it up and down the staircase. It is effortless to maneuver under beds, chairs, tables and other hard to reach areas. According to my husband who has gone through different vacuums, Oreck has been the only one that lasted more than 5 years. Cheaper and less efficient vacuums($200) won’t even last for 2 years. A set which includes a stand vacuum and a hand vacuum(give your sweetest smile and ask for a free wireless iron[$99 value]) is around $500.00 but it’s well worth it because in the long run you’ll go through 2-3 clunky cheaper vacuums within a period 6 years not to mention the headache everytime it breaks down and you have to replace them. The one pictured above is guaranteed for 8 years. If you would compare the cost within an 8 year period, the total cost of ownership of Oreck is alot less.
No wonder, I have seen professional cleaners in hotels use Oreck too.
