What's about the size of a VHS camcorder, supposedly weighs 5 pounds, and sucks like crazy? Answer: The $5.00 Oreck XL portable from St Vincent De Paul in Vero Beach. I'm missing a wand, the crevice tool, and the dust brush. I got three or more Oreck disposable bags with it for free. I picked it up a couple of weeks ago, and just now got to showing it off.

Alan, You will find that vacuum very handy for quick pick ups and if you have hard wood floors, Oreck has a good bare floor tool. I have the top of the line XL Buster B...it seems to work just fine. The bag does fill and cut the suction quickly, but not a problem for me..put in a new bag and right back at it. Have not figured out why they don't use the cloth filtrete type bag like they have for the uprights.. Morgan |

It's not the GE type, maybe a Eureka design, but I think Oreck might have used their own imagination for a change. It cleans like a full size vacuum. The site notes says it has a 42 inch hose. That's its only drawback. I had a grey GE with the carrying kit and all the tools, gave it to my boss one year. Wish I hadn't.

Cassie couldn't wait for me to take the vac out so she could get in the box. |

Both of your Orecks are beautiful, and congrats on the $9.99 one. It looks like it has the floor tool Morgan mentioned in his comment. You actually got a better deal at your price because you have all of the parts I'm missing. My floor tool is a fancy Oreck combination rug/bare floor item. Cassie looks so smug, bless her heart!
