When the Oreck vacuum brand began, it was difficult to get the word out about the new company and cleaning machine. It was originally developed for hotels and motels, where the cleaning crew had been previously forced to carry bulky and heavy vacuum cleaners up stairs and from room to room. In an effort to avoid this kind of problem, Oreck?s creator made a vacuum which weighed much less. Weighing only eight pounds, this vacuum was marketed to various hotels until it began to catch on. The very posh and expensive hotels, as well as the less expensive, budget hotels and motels all started using the Oreck vacuum cleaner. Because of this, the hotel cleaning industry was forever changed by this style of vacuum. Because of its advantages, it was able to make cleaning easier, and it also made it faster, saving hotels money because they paid less hourly wages to individuals.

Eventually, the Oreck vacuum was marketed to consumers, as well. In the beginning, no one was very interested in it. No one wanted to buy an expensive cleaning machine that was so light. People thought it would not be strong because it was not heavy. They thought that it would have very low suction and that it would not hold up under pressure. This was actually surprising, because hotels often use their vacuums quite frequently, and therefore they see a great deal of use and abuse. However, this was the opinion of most of society. A lot of other people had not even heard of Oreck, so the marketing of it was apparently not working in the way that was hoped for. Marketing efforts were addressed, as well as a guaranty that stated if a person did not like the vacuum, the company would buy it back from the consumer without asking questions and without a lot of hassle. Eventually, consumers with heavy vacuum cleaners began to show some interest, because they were looking for a lighter option. Some of them took a chance on the Oreck vacuum cleaner, and word of how well it performed began to spread.

People began seeing that the company was apparently willing to make good on what it had promised, and they realized that the Oreck vacuum was a strong cleaner with durability and good suction. More people began to buy the vacuum, and very few of them had problems or requested the company buy the vacuum back. It is expected that there are some people who will never be satisfied, but most of the people who tried it were very happy with it. Today, the Oreck vacuum cleaner is very popular. The hotel industry still uses it, and it can be found in a lot of different homes. Because of the popularity of the Oreck vacuum cleaner, the company has grown from a small business to a very large corporation.
