I've taken my sweet Oreck into the repair shop for some love and attention. Out of that love and grace I showed the entire vaccuum, the repair shop made my vaccuum new again with a brand-spanking new cord. It lives again!Heather Sunserihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12552506888985553471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8911314544674287828.post-20019405163062330292011-11-22T09:44:25.584-05:002011-11-22T09:44:25.584-05:00Carol: Ha!

Out of all the appliances, this is one that I can't stand not working, so we replace when we need to. But I don't treat it all that lovingly, so it's a bit worn already. See? I DO vacuum!
