Oreck XL Ultra Vacuum Reviews

I have three hairy dogs, a husband who forgets to take his shoes off and a child who runs in and out and all over. I vacuum almost everyday. I have burnt out every vacuum i ever had except my mom's old electrolux. But that thing is bulky and hard to maneuver and the bags cost way too much.  I was so tired of buying a vacuum every two years I was willing to invest a bit more for one that would last.

The Oreck is ok. Despite its claims of being light, I don;t find it noticeably lighter than any other vacuum i have had. I need to have it "tuned up" as they recommend but there isn't any store near...

As much as I love the Oreck XL Ultra vacuum because of its power, there is an annoying disadvantage with it. In order to vacuum narrow areas or sweep/dust cobwebs you need a canister because the Oreck XL isn't designed for attaching tools. That being said, it does an excellent job picking up dog hair and removing allergens that are in the air and carpeting.

Oreck also has a phenomenal warranty and service agreement that can't be beat. I've owned other vacuums that, after 1 or 2 years, if something breaks, you either have to replace it or hope it can be repaired. The warranty with Oreck is...

Months ago I reviewed my Oreck Ironman canister vacuum which I am very happy with but shared that I was still in the market for a new upright vacuum cleaner.  The Electrolux upright vacuum cleaner that was part of my husband’s wedding dowry over a decade ago, and was old even then, had stopped working to my satisfaction even with maintenance. 

I ended up choosing an Oreck XL Silver upright vacuum on recommendation from a professional house cleaner.  I love this vacuum cleaner.  Don’t get me wrong, I still don’t love to vacuum but with some Delbert McClinton blaring and my Oreck XL Silver,...

A few years ago, our vacuum cleaner died. We looked at all kinds of models until I heard about Oreck on the Late Paul Harvey's radio show. I thought I'd give it a try, and boy! Am I glad I did!

The first time I used it was late afternoon. The sun was streaming in the window and I noticed something I hadn't seen before while vacuuming... Nothing! No dust particles floating around in the sunbeam! All the dirt was staying inside the Celok bag, just the way it was supposed to.

The Oreck is lightweight, yet rugged. Easy to change the bags, it is self adjusting for hard or carpeted floors, and even...

I bought an Oreck package deal that includes the Oreck upright and canister vacuums.  I LOVE them - the suction is more powerful than any other vacuum I've ever owned - and I have owned alot of them.  The customer service is wonderful.  What I especially like is that they spread the payments over one year so it is affordable.  It is now not the chore it has always been to vacuum, especially when you know the house is getting really clean!I thoroughly recommend this to everyone.  I guess one drawback is that it is not bagless, but I think that is a small price to pay for the job it does.

The Oreck XL upright vacuum is great if you have both rugs and hardwood floors. There are no attachments to change, it goes from carpets to hardwood floors, to tile floors, and linoleum, with no problem. Be cautious if you have fringe on your rugs as this powerful vacuum may eat the fringe. I purchased my Oreck after recuperating from a slipped disk and the vacuum was light enough to handle without hurting my back.
