Oreck Commercial XL Vacuum Cleaner, Bagged Upright Vac for Carpets and Hard Floor, Lightweight, Automatic Height Adjust, High-Speed Brush Roll, Powerful Vacuum Cleaners for Commercial Use

Basic setup for a vacuum; no additional hoses, extensions, ect. It vacuums like a traditional upright vacuum, and it works very well. Very good suction; I have a couple of black runner mats in my laundry room which show every bit of lint, hair, and other debris, and this vacuum cleans them up in short order without missing much on the first pass. Its also relatively light and easy to carry around, so if weight is a concern, this vac would be a good choice.

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.

Oreck I vacuums are the best! I just retired my old one of 25+ yrs for a new one. The old one got passed on to granddaughter as it still works just fine! The only thing I miss with this commercial model is the "headlight" ( original home model has front light). This model is just as sturdy, lots of suction power, super long cord and it takes the same kind of bag as the old one!!! Lightweight and easy to use. Replacement bags are easy to find and reasonably priced. Also they are made in the USA and built to last! Stop wasting your $$ on overpriced and overrated vacuums and get an Oreck, you won't be sorry! I am a satisfied Oreck customer for life!!

Used heavily for housecleaning business. When it works, its great. Its got a good suction force, normal size, lightweight build. Fits great in the back of a sedan. I find that after heavy use, the plug end of the cable will tear. Imagine the tear of an apple charger, like that. It's annoying to fix and needs improvement. Additionally, you'll have the regular maintenance like having to open up the bottom and unclog the spinning mechanism, but that's normal. For office/housecleaning, I find that it gets the job done reliably, and will continue to use it for the foreseeable future.

The first time I used the vacuum I was extremely impressed with how well it cleaned the high pile carpet that I have. It was not until the second time that I used it that I had issues start occurring constantly. The second time I use the vacuum, I started to smell a burning scent. I immediately turned the vacuum off and look to see if something was stuck, but I could not see anything. I then thought maybe it was just an overheating issue for some reason, but after letting it sit for a few hours, I still had a burning smell occur immediately while using. It also no longer cleans correctly. It smells almost like the belt is slipping. I looked at the belt and made sure that everything internally was clean, but I am unable to find any issues personally. I do not see any signs of wear or damage done to any of the pieces. I have attempted to reach out to support multiple times, but I am unable to get a hold of somebody. This is partially on my fault as well as my work hours coincide with the same hours of support. I am going to keep working on trying to get this repaired so that I can use the vacuum again and I will hopefully be able to give it a better review in the future. I hope I just got a faulty unit and it is not a sign of the product as a whole.

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.

Had one before and they are brilliant so.light easy to.use and you don't have to empty the bag every 5 mins. This one is very noisy, but I am still happy.

La AMEEEEEEEE. 100% la recomiendo

The problem I was trying to solve with this vacuum is that I was tired of lugging a huge canister vacuum all over my rather small house where I have three floors and not a lot of room to maneouvre. Most of my floors are low-to-mid-pile carpet and for those that aren't carpet, I don't normally vacuum them - I mop and/or sweep. Most of the upright vacuums that are readily available in stores seem to be heavily-marketed to look like they're more than they (like what is done with modern cars), and with this comes a significant amount of bulk and loss in functionality. I wanted a vacuum I could put in my closet when I wasn't using it, and something that went flat to vacuum underneath beds and other low-lying furniture. You'll probably know by looking at this whether it's what you want - you are likely looking for function over form. It turns on and off. It has one height only and the cord is manually wrapped around cord retainers at the back. It's light (I can carry it one-handed up the stairs). It has good suction. It's quite noisy. It doesn't have a light. It doesn't have attachments. It is just what I was looking for. For cleaning things other than floors, get Oreck's canister vacuum (BB1200DB or similar). It's a nice bridge between large canister vacuums and cheap handhelds and wins again in very similar ways.

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.
