Oreck XL vacuum

by Jennifer L. Foster
(Simpsonville, SC)

My Oreck XL vacuum cleaner is 15 plus years old. We provide routine maintenance and have had it professionally serviced once.

The XL still works just as it did when I bought it! It has outlasted 2 very hairy dogs (for whom it was originally purchased), and one husband... so far!!!

It suffered years of vicious attacks from an Australian Shepherd and is currently being assaulted (on a regular basis) by an energetic 2 year old Labradoodle.

Well, you get the picture... it has not been babied and it is still going strong!

Who uses the attachments?
by: 47Driver

I purchased my wife her Oreck 12 years ago. When she found out how much I paid, she told me she was going to beat me to death with it when it arrived. It has lasted 4 moves, two different dogs, three cats, two kids, and me. We replaced a motor 6 years ago, I replaced the metal thingy and the brush, and it still runs strong. My sister laughed at me when I bought it, but she ended up buying one six years later after going through 4 of the "best rated" vacuums. So, now on our upcoming 13 year anniversary of Oreck use, I will buy my wife a new one. And again, it ill begin it's life as a weapon.

Oh, they send you a canister vac because there aren't attachments. None of our friends, when speaking frankly, use the attachments after a few weeks anyway.

Oreck XL
by: Nancy

Bought the Oreck XL vacuum 1 yr ago and so far I have had 2 Belts changed a new motor and roller brush replaced. Paid $500.00 and regretting every penny spent. I watched the Infomercials on Oreck numerous times and was sure that this was the vacuun for me and could that it could possibly last many years. Due to allergies I wanted what I thought was the best.

Now 1 yr later here I am with a $500.00 refurbished vacuum. I have a 4yr old $40.00 Bissell that I think has more power and capabilities then the Oreck.

I asked about returning it but the answer was NO.
Not sure I can take no for an answer.
