Adam,
Tom is correct. Don't get an Oreck if you need a deep cleaning vacuum. The Oreck's fan is very small and it has a fairly soft brushroll. It does not produce enough airflow and agitation to deep clean. The Simplicity and Riccar that Tom mentioned above are much better choices.
If all you need is something like an electric broom, then go for the O'wreck.

They do sell Tacony made ultra light uprights in the U.K. under the TruVox label. In fact, they just got the cordless ultralight, which is an absolutely fantastic cleaner. It is the same as our Simplicity and Riccar ultra lite cleaners just in a different color, and they were built in St. James, Missouri, Now Europe up can enjoy the same wonderful vacuum cleaners that America has enjoyed for more than 15 years.

The xl7 is the one that I'd probably go for. I've heard it's quite a good machine |

I bought a Used Simplicity Freedom...the lightweight upright. Mine is one step above the base model...one speed motor, flat belt, wooden brushroll, and old style (Thankfully) HEPA bag mount. Even with a fairly worn belt it's a great cleaner! Much more Suction, and AirFlow than an Oreck, and a more aggressive brushroll. I'll take it over the Oreck any day. The Oreck does make a nice Electric broom, as Tom has mentioned. Anyways, just my 2 cents!
