I am a huge fan of other brands that make vacuums to compete with Oreck. I am not saying I don't like Oreck, in fact they are one of my favorite brands, but sometimes others tend to be a little 'better'. My favorites are my Hoover Clean & Light and my Bissell Pro Lite. Both have a bigger and stiffer brushrolls, bigger suction tubes, and a way more 'sturdy' feel compared to an Oreck (excluding the XL21). Each of these are both brand new as well! The Pro Lite is also a twin fan, which is really neat. The Hoover is better at grooming the carpet, but the Pro Lite digs into the carpet a little more, which makes me unable to use it on my deep pile carpeting in my living room.
What is your favorite 'knockoff'? |

I like the sanitairesc9050 I got to test one wile it was been considered for the SA market , but didn't Orek have a very similar model?
I must say I have great respect for oreks, you don't get them here officially but there are a number of them around,
Does any one know what the tie up between orek and Ivac of the netherlands is?
I see oreck sells the ivac fast up350 under thier own name in the states |
