Oreck Upright Vacuum Cleaners

Improved Every Year ...

Each model is studied to seek weaknesses to eliminate in the next version and means to improve performance and quality.

When possible, major changes are explored, but most of the work is devoted to taking processes and products that work and making them better.

This helps ensure that the Oreck upright vacuum is a known and predictable quantity.

There are some systemic issues, as Oreck vacuum bags are relatively expensive.

Oreck Upright Vacuum Cleaners Review

The XL Classic Oreck upright vacuum is also called XL 2200.

This is an eight-pound machine with great strength, efficient filters and a three-year warranty.

The top fill design on the vacuum bag has become the industry standard, and the twelve-inch wide cleaning head leaves no center strip dirt path.

An improved base plate design decreases the difficulty of cleaning carpet edges, improves performance on bare floors and makes the vacuum easier to push.

There is a thirty-day free trial option available for this model and a three-year warranty. This Oreck upright costs $299.95 direct from oreck.com. It can be far more expensive when purchased elsewhere.

The Oreck XL Ultra features all of the capabilities and functions of the standard models and more. There is a ten-year motor warranty, and ten free yearly tune-ups.

Each year you may bring this model to the nearest Oreck store to replace the belt, seals and inner bag, clean the roller brush, roller brush bearings and outer bag, polish the armature, check all electrical connections, and clean and sanitize the interior and exterior of the vacuum.

It can lay flat for storage or to clean under beds, takes only one cubic foot of storage space and is one of the lightest full size vacuum cleaners on the market. The motor produces 102 mph of suction and uses a third of the electricity of standard vacuum motors.

There is a thirty-foot power cord. There are some complaints that features were left off in order to allow the lighter weight, such as a carpet height adjuster.

It sells from Oreck.com for $549.95 and the tune-ups represent a $400 value if the trips were paid for normally.

There are also commercial versions of the Oreck upright vacuum cleaners. The Oreck XL Pro Commercial is an example of this type, with quiet motors, extra large capacity and side door belt access.

The model is slightly less than twenty-one pounds in weight, can hold up to eight quarts of dust and has very quiet operations to avoid disturbing customers. This model sells for $499.95 on Oreck.com.

There are some complaints about the bulk of this model, though it is not intended for use in cramped areas or on stairs.
