I was never a big oreck fan as I can remember back in 1989 and borrowing my stepmother's Oreck and It didn't clean hardly at all,so that kinda did it for me. 2 years ago I was delivering to one of my customers and He has a store with his Restraunt connected to the store. when I entered the restraunt, I saw in the corner this big Upright vacuum cleaner and I just had to check it out and found that it was an Oreck dual stack, well It looked very impressive to me. I asked Hubert about his Oreck if it really did a really good job and He replied that He had a Kirby G5 and found the Oreck did a better job. So from then on I wanted a dual Stack but I didn't like the price of them. Every now and then I would see one on ebay but the bids were what I didn't want to pay. so I kinda forgot about the Dual Stack. Well the bug hit me a couple of weeks ago and I found one in an ebay store for 199.00 bin. Well I didn't want to pay that much for one thing one of the cord hooks is broken off and it was missing the belt door. I keep checking to see if maybe there were more on ebay but none at all. So I was Talking To Reggie about it and He told me to contact the seller and see if Maybe He would drop the price down. I was leary because I have bought from him before and He usually doesn't drop his price. well I decide to ask him and sure enough He did drop it to what I asked. Well I did indeed buy it. It came in yesterday and I was all excited about it. I hurried up and put it together and was vaccuming away all over. then went on the computer and then again I vacuumed with it again but I notice sometimes it would make a strange noise. When I did unpack it there was a cloud of dirt coming out from the brush roll and thought nothing of if. My son came and told me that it was smelling the burnt, I can't smell. So I went ahead and torn into it. I couldn't believe how clog it was. It was so clog that the fan wasn't always turning. So after cleaning it out totally, I vacuumed with it again and couldn't believe how well it actually vacuumed up the carpets,I'm very impressed with it. I know it is a commercial vacuum cleaner but I do have a few in my collection anyway. But my point being it is well worth the money. Another thing I like is the oreck plant is very reasonable on there parts and bags too. The belt door was 3 bucks and an 8 pack of bags was 19.00. I'm sure now that the newer Orecks aren't a bad vacuum at all. I did also get a vintage oreck xl commercial canister vacuum off of Ebay and I 'm totally suprised with it as well. It even has the p/n outlet on it. and it has super suction as well.
