Oreck XL Review

The Oreck XL hypo-allergenic upright vacuum is a purchase that I never regretted. My first XL was purchased 12 yrs. ago and it finally was "put to rest" 6 months ago.  I repurchased same model but of course newer, and have not regretted the move.  The price might seem high but it paid me back many times over.

As a senior, I found that the light weight feature was very important to me. The suction is very good. I can clean on carpet and wood and tile floors. The only things I've had to change out were the belt (once in 5 years) and the disposable dirt bags.  I think the most exciting thing about the Oreck is that i can change out parts myself! It makes me feel soooo talented! LOL!  I can unsnap the plastic tubing to get out clogged debris, change the belt, remove the rollers...etc.  It's like reconstructing a simple puzzle. I almost feel like being called a mechanic!   I have a very large home and this Oreck XL does the job!  The mini portable vacuum I got free with the purchase, is just as strong.  Oreck has a great reputation. In fact, when I called the phone number to order more bags, the representative was outstanding!  I DO appreciate good customer service! 

I might add that I've never had to bring it in for service for 12  years!(until the old one died).

I believe you can rest assured that the Oreck XL will give you years of problem free service!
