    The Oreck XL is a great vacuum. Works well and light weight. I would buy one again. The only down side is that it stinks like dirt. We store it in a closet and it really smells it up. We change the bag regularly but it doesn't help.

    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 ...

    With regards to the Oreck XL, it's the only upright that the wife has found easy to use. For anyone with a bad back or weak wrists it will be a good choice. It does a thorough job and can even be used on stairs. Oreck uprights are impressive but they have to be bought in an expensive bundle with an ...

    Not recommended to those who want their money's worth and are value oriented. It works real well if you are willing to carry a coat hanger in one hand and stop and unclug it. .

    I recommend Oreck to friends when they are looking for a new vacuum cleaner. Light. Great for backache sufferers. Gets into the corners. All surfaces cleaned. I have had 2 dogs in this time, both with house-dust mite allergies. Problem solved!
    My Oreck is 18 years old. I treated myself to a new one ...

    I'm truly shocked by the negative comments for this Oreck XL cleaner. Sick and tired of Dyson's picking up dog hair for 6 months and then leaving a thatch in a navy blue carpet. Compared to other cleaners it's very lightweight and so takes the backache out of cleaning. Its efficiency means cleanin ...

    I bought my Oreck XL vacuum cleaner 15yrs ago. I love it and would recommend them to anyone. My daughter bought one 7yrs age and loves it too. I have never had aproblem with the belts. They last for ages and so do the bags. I would never have another type of Hoover. ...

    I was surprised to see that some users had had problems since I have had my Oreck XL for 10 years now and haven't had to change the belt yet! I use it 2/3 times a week. It is nice and light and so is easy to carry up and down stairs. Bags are easy to change. I would definitely recommend them.

    The Oreck XL is a very expensive vacuum that doesn't work. It throws out dust and won't pick up even surface lint. I am very disappointed. I called the company and asked for a part and they assured they would mail, but never heard from them again. Can't find anyone to do warranty work. Bags are ...

    The XL is overpriced, but compared to the other vacuums I would have gone through by now, this one is still going strong. The belt does need changing a lot (I vacuum every other day and have a golden retriever). One other down side is that the vacuum smells like "dog" when I'm done. And forget ab ...
