Reviewing: Oreck Xl Deluxe
Purchased at: Oreck     Price: $359.00 USD

After struggling for years with heavy and not very effective vacuum cleaners, I decided to give the Oreck a try. Since it is recommended by people suffering with rheumatoid arthritis, this was a deciding factor in buying this particular vacuum cleaner.

It has a wonderful filtration system that effectively eliminates or reduces common molds, mildews and other allergens from your home. The triple walled bags help insure dust is sealed safely within the bag. Replacing the bags is simple. Simply pop out the old bag, and snap in a fresh one. It shifts between flooring surfaces effortlessly. You don't have to stop and select a different pile or material, making this a truly efficient vacuum cleaner. The bright safety light helps you avoid accidentally picking up too large an object or running over the cord.

The unit itself is attractive with its clean white housing and light blue gray bag. The handle is ergonomically designed and very easy on stiff hands. One feature I appreciate is the way the vacuum lies flat to slide under chairs and sofas. The longer 30 foot cord makes cleaning larger areas simple and quick. It only weighs 9 pounds, making it the lightest little heavy weight in the business. It lies flat for easy storing under a bed or on the wall.

The 24 bar motor makes this the most energy efficient vacuum in the industry. You get 5 free tune ups annually and a great5 year warranty. With your purchase you get the Oreck Deluxe Compact Vac, which is a wonderful tool to help you clean hard to reach places like ceiling fans and deep crevices.

Ordering online is easy and very safe, in case you don't have an Oreck store in your area. You get free shipping with your order, which comes within 5 working days. The online store offers specials on other products and replacement items for your vacuum. Belts, bags, carpet powder and scented tabs are available at reasonable cost. Since the bags are sized generously, you don't need to change them as often as you would with other vacuum cleaners.

You can purchase using your credit or debit card, and if you wish have the payments spread out over a year. All in all, this is a superior vacuum cleaner that has noticeably improved the looks and health of my home and flooring.

I am delighted with my Oreck. After going through several highly advertised brands I FINALLY found one that really works.

I have heard that Oreck is a very good brand, if not the best, although pricy. Now when we buy our new vacuum cleaner, it's going to be Oreck! :)

We have an Oreck store in Ohio. I think this sounds like the perfect vac for you. I like how you said it lays flat to get under the chairs and couch. I also like the feature that allows you to go from one type of flooring to another without changing the height of the vac.

Love how it lays flat and how you get so many free tune-ups! I love my Dyson but that thing does weigh a ton and this lightweight vacuum looks so much easier to maneuver.

I was always under the impression that Oreck's were thousands of dollars. This is great news. We are in need of a new vacumm and this I can't wait to test drive this one. Thank you for the detailed description.

Kateri, if I'm not mistaken you can try this for 30 days before making your final decision. But if like me, you find this vacuum to be a godsend, you'll keep it:)
