Looks cool, I bet its made in China...doubt it has features like safety brush roll off, if you accidentally suck up a sock. Bagless :-/ |

I have a bagged Oreck, and I've been pretty happy with it, specifically the Graphite. This just looks like they're trying to appeal to unedcuated consumers who think bagless is better. |

Good to know, there is limited information so I was assuming based on the other uprights. |

At the front, yes, but the sides are high which means the head surely can't go too far under? |

Does it have full sized tools or those pathetic "all-in-one" combination crevice/dusting tools? |

You can't please some people if you hung them with a new rope. |

Oh we say that over here too. It is very true. I do like the comment that the cleaner would look stupid without the side loops. Every bagless cleaner looks hideous to me as it's so different from what I am used to. |

BagInTheBack, Tom Oreck stepped down as the CEO of Oreck back in 2010. Doug Cahill replaced Tom in 2010. |

It's a crying shame that Tom Oreck stepped down as the CEO of Oreck. |

Cannister or upright, bag or bagless, swivel steering or regular? I have to say i have become rather fond of my Electrolux Nimble & the steering is a big part, that & the quiet operation. Now about those pesky, weak cheap plastic nibs waiting to break off when you disassemble the dirt cup for cleaning...
Hmmm don't know about the grayness of this Oreck though. Looking for a Pilot that needs some TLC to get my swivel on Oreck style.... |

I tried to get on with the Nimble in a shop I tried one in but it seems I couldn't get it to clean flat to the floor - that's where my Felix seems to do better in as well as just feeling a lot better made. The Nimble is very stylish though - I wish Hoover's UK/European neighbouring products were just as easy on the eye.

I don't think either vacuum in that video link is noisy - not if you have a Hoover Windtunnel Air or Vax Mach Air. A lot of bagless vacuums are these days but it doesn't sound too much of a "screamer" to me.
I like the idea of the Versa Vac. If Oreck can get that to the UK they'll probably have good product on their hands. I just fear that as usual with Oreck UK, we'll have to wait several years for these new products to arrive unless the U.S company get their finger out and do a worldwide launch. |

Hello all
I'm new to this forum! I can see why Oreck have gone down the bagless route as that seems to be the most popular choice for the consumer these days! Oreck want a share of this market! I've gone back to a bagged vacuums after years of using bagless and for me thinking bagless was better I've personally find this not necessary to be the case! I don't really miss the emptying and cleaning the messy bin out and washing the filters! |

Hi Jon,
Welcome to the forum :). Nice to see another Sebo fan around.
RE: Oreck. What complete hypocrites!! Remember those "bagless is a dirty word" infomercials? Bloody sell outs! I really cannot stand the company. The vacuum wasn't even David Oreck's original idea or design! And I've never been impressed with the performance of the cleaners either. Completely over-rated. |

Hi Jon - great to see another Sebo fan! I second that welcome too!
Or it could well be that Oreck are realising that there are other U.S companies who are offering the similar kind of upright, cue Simplicity etc. Oreck need another product that is going to bring in sales. Also I see the UK have finally got a new cylinder vacuum in by Oreck, called the Quest. CLICK HERE TO GO TO sebo_fan's LINK |

Jamie - it is hard to deviate from one original model unless you're a big corporation who doesn't worry about making a loss. I know what you are saying, but when you're an appliance brand, it is hard to just keep producing the same formula and wrapping it up in a new body time after time. Effectively this is what SEBO did with their X1 Automatic, morphing it into their X1.1 and X4 with a few updates here and there - but like Numatic, SEBO also produce other machines to widen their appeal to customers.
To be fair, Oreck in the UK at least have stuck to their guns in making bagged vacuums with the only exception being the odd Chinese cordless dust buster or that awful cordless Elecktricbroom/Starlyf cyclonic vac they had in the UK for a short while. Im not a fan of Oreck but I do like some of their design ideas - their brush rolls are second to none and they lack beater bars. The new Touch upright has me interested though - it could well be a return to Oreck in the future. |

Normally, I don't like change and most of the vacuums that I love are old styled. But I have to say that I DO like this new Oreck. It looks VERY stylish, sleek and just kinda fun. I'm sure that my Kirbys will out clean it, but I just looks fun. Maybe I'll be lucky enough to find one in a pawn shop or thrift store one day, unless someone wants to buy one for me (hint, hint). No? Oh, well. It never hurts to ask.
