Pros:

-Very lightweight/easily maneuverable
-Can easily get under furniture
-bag can hold a lot of dirt

Cons:

-It’s noisy.
-Wish it had a way to disconnect the hose from the vacuum so I could have a suction tool/hose for hard to reach areas.

This is a no frills, purpose built commercial vacuum. Like the headline says, I liked mine so much, I bought one for my elderly parents. I love the suction on this vacuum. It will get the majority of debris in one pass on carpet and tile. Makes the job of vacuuming a breeze. I also love the light weight, handle ergonomics and maneuverability. They don’t make vacuum cleaners like this anymore. This one is built to last. I would recommend!!!

I just received the Oreck Commercial XL Upright Corded Vacuum Cleaner, Bagged Professional Commercial Pro and I’m thrilled. It unpacked and was assembled in less that 20 minutes. It is a no frills vacuum but it is so light that it virtually floats.

Listen, I’m 67 and I’ve had Rheumatoid arthritis and fibromyalgia for 20 yrs. In the last 10, vacuuming and sweeping have become nearly impossible. I used to sweep and vacuum my whole house in less than an hour but now it can take days to do the whole house. My back, neck, arms, and hips are in agony pushing around the Hoover I use. I saw this and the reviews and decided it was worth the actual bargain price. If you have mobility or pain issues, this might be a good choice for you.

I used it today and didn’t have to sit down after I did one room. It was effortless. It went from carpet to floor easily and picked up the pine pellet cat litter that had been dropped. The carpet looked as good as it does with the larger heavier machine.

I really love it and it is small enough I don’t have to store it in a closet but can put it next to the washing machine in the laundry room. I truly hope it continues to live up to what I saw with the first use.

There are no attachments. I to just attach the handle and go. Even came with one bag, which is much larger than my Hoover bags. With 3 cats, I have to vacuum a few times a week but have not been able to do that. So, I need an effective machine. This seemed to do the job. Is it as good as my Hoover? I haven’t done a comparison because I have to have someone else use it. It is almost impossible for me now. It will be relegated to the garage until I think I need it.

I plan on buying the hand held machine next so I have the versatility of the attachments.

So I bought this vacuum cleaner as a replacement for a Shark Professional Lift Away canister vaccum. The shark had some issues, namely:

1. It had an attachment tube through which all the suction power at some point went. This tube was made of a material that kept cracking and we had to duct tape it. In the end it was more tape than tube and this led to a loss of suction.
2. I was absolutely SICK of emptying the canister and digging out pet hair and inhaling the dust and cleaning the filter etc. It was nasty.

My wife and I made a deal for the housework. She would do the downstairs and I the upstairs. Since the upstairs is 100% frize carpet, the vacuum quickly became a point of contention for me.

I did my research (A LOT OF IT) and came to Oreck. I didn’t feel like shelling out 500+ dollars for one of the super top of the line home versions that are aesthetically pleasing and instead opted to pocket the cash and buy this workhorse for 150 bucks. And I am IMPRESSED.

We have 3 dogs and a cat. The dogs are a Siberian Husky, a German Shepard, and a St. Bernard. Needless to say we a have a LOT of pet hair. Some reviewers have mentioned that they didn’t think the oreck was effective for this. These people are lying to you. Our carpets are now amazingly clean. This thing sucks up debris and pet hair like nothing I’ve ever seen. Its a BEAST. And its lightweight. The bags hold a LOT and when its time to change them out you just pull em, toss em and replace em.

They are cheap. I’ve been through 2 in a month and got a 25 pack for like 15 bucks. Get the scent tabs. You can really smell them at first, after the first couple of days you cant smell anything, which hopefully is the point.

Some people have mentioned a burning rubber smell when they started using the vaccuum. I noticed this too, but I think it is just a burn in phenomenon as it quickly went away.

The replacement and maintenance parts (belt/roller) are both on amazon for under 10 bucks. I expect to change the belts and rollers on occasion and have this vacuum for a decade.

It doesn’t have any attachments. it just cleans the carpets and floors superbly well. We’ve used it downstairs on wood and rugs and tile with no issues and it has pulled up loose pet hair and cat litter with no problems.

Give it a go. Best vacuum I’ve ever owned. See pictures for pet hair effectiveness.

So so disappointed ☹️. Chose this vacuum because it said commercial use. Thugs it would be ideal for a family with children.
Plug doesn’t fit UK socket, nor is an adapter available!!!!!!!!😡
Someone recommended Sebo. Fantastic go with that save your time and money.

I had a high expectation when buying this vacuum due to the positive reviews. But I was a bit disappointed because this vacuum doesn’t work well on all carpets and very loud noise. So be mindful of that when you’re ready to get one in shaa Allaah.
