hi all,
anyone know anything about this vacuum, and how does it compare to the sebo dart?

[nick.solution]

Hi
 
Absolutley no comparison, the sebo is a far superior machine power wise, the only advantage to the oreck, would be the fact that it is very light.

Hope this helps

Best regards Nick

Sorry Nick but I can't see how you can make such a statement, have you done a side by side comparrison ( have you actually seen the XL pro? )

here it is


I've used the XL and found it to be a very good vacuum, to say

'Absolutley no comparison '

is a totally unfounded statement

You don't sell Sebos by any chance : :

where can you get this from and for what price?

hi Mike.
have you also used the sebo?
and if so how do you feel they compare?

I've owned a number of sebos ( but not the dart) and they are a competent vacuum cleaner

Although the Dart is an up-dated design its primary motors are nearly the same as the Sebo BS46 ( the BS46 has a 200w brush motor where the Dart has a less powerfull 175w, but the 46 is wider so needs the extra power)

I hav'nt used them side by side but when demoing the XL it seemed like a good machine.

I must say though if I was buying one of them I would chose the Sebo purely because it is a more proven machine and the spares & bags are readily available, If I could be guarenteed back-up from Oreck Uk  I would chose the XL.

mike could i ask, what would make you choose the oreck if you could get the backup?
and also the dart has the hepa filter anyone got any opinions on this?

[the red carpet]

the oreck has a (celoc hypo allergenic filtering system)
has any1 ever heard of this and is it any good?

Hi, I saw your van a couple of days ago. I had to park to do a quote in Waltham X, when I came out you had parked up - at home? (client said you hadn't lived there for long) Im sorry if I partially obstructed your entrance. 

[the red carpet]

hi there formula6, im based in waltham abbey just near the cross is this were you saw me?
dont remember anyone blocking my entrance,
what did you think of the van? i only had it done on tuesday, nice to see somones noticed it
do you live and work local to me then?

[Kev Loomes]

Hi Red carpet

I parked up in Norwood Rd, EN8 on Wed morning about 9:15am and your van was opposite to where I visited a house. It was a small white van with red sign writing - red carpet vip cleaning or something. I recognised it not only because it was a carpet & upholstery cleaning van, but because I saw your logo's on this site and remembered!

Did you not notice the sign written Renault Trafic? you must have had to sort of squeeze through as opposed to just driving in at normal speed. From what I could tell your van looked ok to me! and yes I do work round that way! Good to see a fellow cleaner though!

p.s. I'll be back at that address on 16th - if your about give me a knock - just follow the noise!

hi formula 6.
iv just remembered where you would have saw me, and then i saw your post, im not lucky enough to be living in one of those houses as yet i was busy working mate. but i do remember seeing your van as i parked up. i thought you must have lived round there and was puzzled why they had given me the job with there neighbour being a cc.

dont know what the neighbours on about that i hadnt lived there long

[Kev Loomes]

Hi Red

Confusion no more! She must have meant the owners and not you, but it was the way she said it......

[the red carpet]

hi formula 6,

seen as your local to me you may be able to help me out with somthing.
do you know of a good company to deliver leaflets round here?
and just to give you some advice theres a company that deliver locally called "letterbox-distribution" if you ever get tempted to use them dont bother there usless.

Daniel

[Mike Halliday]

Red, did'nt see your question, I would chose the Oreck becuase I like the idea of 2 vacuum tubes, on my Sebo the pipe always got blocked, also its quite a radical design and I think it would impress customers.

MIke

[the red carpet]

i have to agree on the design, thats what impressed me i feel it looks a lot more impresive than the sebos, but i suppose looks aint everything the thing that concerns me is this hepa filter buisness.

anyone know if this is really needed?
and is this hypo allergenic thing on the oreck anything like it?

Daniel

[Kev Loomes]

Hi Daniel

Im not really local! I used to be in a franchise and worked that way. I dont use any leaflet distribution company at the moment but Im glad you told me about letterbox cos I was thinking of getting a company to do them.

When you say they were useless, how many did you send out and what (if any) response did you get?......be interesting to know.

[the red carpet]

i gave them 5000 they sent 0 out and it took them 3weeks to do that so i gave up all i got was a lot of promises and excuses, also just tried to get them delivered with a magazine "west essex property" £20 a thousand gave them 4000 got 1 job so far £60 and i enquirie so dont think il be using them again either, theres another guy based in loughton called door to door might give him a try will let you know how i get on

[Kev Loomes]

Anyone know of a company called Dor 2 Dor? they are a franchise (which worries me) and am thinkng of going with them. Are they any good for leaflet drops??
