We let him in and he did the demo. I'll admit that the demo was impressive. However, the canister is large and ugly. It looks like it belongs in an industrial setting. It's also very expensive at $3275.00. I checked out the "gift certificate," which I assumed would be for junk products, but wanted to see for sure. They gave me two certificates of $500 for selectyourgifts.com. All the products look like cheaply-made junk. You pay a shipping & handling fee, plus a $5.00 order fee. The S&H fee pretty much reflects the value of the products. I feel that it's very deceptive to state that you are doing a "survey," when you are really trying to sell vacuum cleaners. It's also deceptive to state that you "won" a certificate that they give to everybody. I prefer to deal with companies that are upfront and honest. I will not do business with this company.
Description of Work: We received a call from "C & K Research" a month or two ago doing a "survey" and one of the questions asked was what vacuum we owned. That set off a red flag and I asked if they were a Vacuum company. The representative said no. Last week, I received a call from the company stating that I had won a prize ($300 gift certificate to an "online retailer") and they would like to send a rep to deliver it along with a demo on a product to get our opinion. I asked if they were bringing a vacuum to try and sell me. The rep said no, they just wanted an opinion on a product. They were supposed to arrive on Thursday, Feb 2, 2012. No one showed. They had written down the day as Friday the 2nd. When they called me Friday evening to confirm, I said they were supposed to come on Thursday the 2nd and we needed to reschedule. The representative arrived on time at the rescheduled time and date (Feb 6, 2012) with several large boxes. I asked if he was trying to sell a vacuum. He said "you caught me. Yes, I'm a vacuum salesman." He had a Silver King Blue Max vacuum with him.
