Good Points

Lightweight and powerful. Good for pet hairs


Bad Points

Expensive. No tools - forget about the canister cleaner which is overrated and noisy - just pushes the price up - buy the cleaner separately on QVC or similar and you'll save around £30 to £50.


General Comments

The oreck vaccum cleaner is expensive but I can't fault it, or the after sales service. I have a cat and a dog, have had the cleaner 7 years and haven't had to change a belt yet. The brushes are just starting to wear, and it gets heavy use, two or three times a week, up and downstairs, carpets and hard floors. Buying the bags from the internet is no real hardship either. You can get the cleaner overhauled by Oreck and they virtually rebuild it, even providing a new motor as a matter of course.

Forget about the air fresheners, and remember to change the bags reguularly - if you don't the weight of the bags can make the cleaner a lot heavier - worth bearing in mind if you have a bad back or a weak wrist.

Even my stepdaughter loves using our Oreck when she comes to say - that can't be bad, can it?!
