By the way - we have started selling the Oreck Low Boy OP machines. They're an excellent OP machine for the money! However these machines are built by the MERCURY FLOOR MACHINE company for Oreck - they're not built by Oreck. Mercury builds and warrants them. And Mercury is an old and established floor machine company (one of the old standards in the industry).

So in case anyone is concerned - the Low Boy machines are not affiliated with Oreck, other than the fact that Mercury is a vendor to Oreck. In the future we will be getting these machines with the Mercury name rather than Oreck, in order to distance the machine from the beleaguered Oreck brand.
