Maneuverability Lays almost flat. Makes it easy to vacuum under beds. Durability Gets a lot of abuse and still going strong!

Lightweight and Mighty

5

When my back went out on me and after many months of trying to get out of pain I realized I may never do certain activities again. Being able to vacuum was one of them. That was true until I found my Oreck vacuum. Because it is very lightweight and so easy to even carry up and down stairs, I am again able to vacuum with ease. The bag is easy to change. The only thing I wish was different is that it doesn't get close to edges so I end up having to use my handheld vacuum to get the edges. Maneuverability This vacuum is extremely easy to maneuver. It is easy on your joints and your back. It is good for anyone to use with little effort. Ease of Maintenance I have owned Orecks for about 18 years now and I have only had to change the bag and a belt once in awhile. Suction Performance Other than edges, this vacuum has fantastic suction performance. Better than any other vacuum I have ever owned or used. It even sucks up screws, rocks, anything in its path, so be sure to have all things you don't want sucked up out of its path. Versatility It is great that this vacuum does carpet and floors and can go from one to the other without changing anything. Design Love everything except the lack of being able to get close to edges of walls. Durability Very Durable. Long Lasting. Well made Machine.

Decent Vacuum for Kids

We've been using this vacuum for about 3 years and we like it so far. We use it mostly on hardwood and linoleum but we have a few area rugs that it also does well on. It is self-propelled and has a low and a high setting for suction speed. It also has lights at the front which is nice for some of our hallways. It has a higher top to the front so it does not get close to my fridge, stove, dishwasher, or couches. I have to go and do those with the handheld. My other complaint is that the bag starts to stink after a month or so. We mostly vacuum up food so I'm guessing this is the issue, but I think this is an issue with having a bagged vacuum. It's too expensive to change the bag every month and it's rarely a quarter full by then. Maneuverability Maneuvers very well around corners and is easily pushed. Ease of Maintenance The bag is super easy to change and has a feature so that the bag seals up immediately after it is removed. Suction Performance Larger pieces aren't sucked up with this vacuum (anything bigger than a pea) Design Sleek, light-weight design. I love that it is easy to carry from room to room or up steps.

Light and efficient!

We love our Oreck vacuum! We purchased it about two years ago after getting by with another vacuum for awhile. I was very pleased with the light weight of this vacuum, but at the same time it does such an amazing job of cleaning! I can easily pull it out when I need to vacuum of one of the many messes my children make! It does not have fancy gadgets or hookups, but it works for how I need it. The main reason we chose this vacuum is because of the reputation Oreck has for its durability. I know it will last for years. I would recommend this vacuum to anyone who is looking for something that is not heavy, but does the job! Maneuverability It is easy to maneuver! Ease of Maintenance The bag is very easy to take out, throw away, and replace. Suction Performance The suction performance is good. It picks up everything that needs to be picked up! Versatility It does one job. It does not have hose hook-ups to clean stairs, corners, etc. That is one thing I would change about it if I could. Design The design is simple, but good. Durability You can't go wrong with this Oreck. They last for years!

Entire Family Into This!

We have been tossing vacuums like crazy and guess what- Not after this! We first saw this when we went for a vacation at 4 of my aunt's household. That is when we got so curious to ask if they recommend which resulted for us to purchase one. This is one of the lightest vacuum on the market that does its job. If you are looking for a floor vacuum which is powerful and light, this is for you. One good thing about Oreck is they have service stores which is part of your warranty that you can bring it on for annual maintainance. And everytime you do that, you end up having like a new vacuum every year. There are only 2 brands in the market that is in competition when it comes to vacuum-Oreck and Dyson. Definitely when you see this on sale, buy it! Maneuverability It swivels good and very light Ease of Maintenance easy + with the warranty you can go to their service shop for free Suction Performance powerful Design very sleek and not bulky Durability we have this for yearssss

Lightweight vac with great cleaning

I inherited this vacuum from my parents. It is the best vacuum I have ever owned. It is lightweight and cleans very well, particularly cat hair. Maneuverability Moves with ease and is easy to get and around most furniture. Ease of Maintenance I have had it for two years and it has given me no problem. The bag can be a bit sticky to get in place, but once you figure it out it is fine. I have had the bag slip and dust fly. Suction Performance It does very well, even on cat hair. Versatility It would be better if there were onboard tools. However, saying that onboard tools can be a pain because they fall off, get lost and get clogged. It would be nice to have the option though.It makes doing stairs difficult. Design Simple design. The only problem is I wish the bags were easier to replace. Durability I inherited it and it is still going strong. I live on a farm and it has to deal with a lot of hay chards and dirt getting tracked in as well as cat and dog hair.
