For all of us who were wondering if "Oreck" would ever have a classic style upright now that they're owned by TTI, it exists, except, it's a Royal. For those who aren't aware, it's a rebadged XL1 which I believe is only available in the UK. | ||

I was just talking to the guy at my local Oreck store about this machine because I noticed he had a few. He said that they wanted an entry-level machine for the Royal brand so they used the Oreck design since TTI already holds the patents for it. It's interesting that the Oreck store near my house sells this since they don't sell any other Royal machines, they only carry Oreck and Miele.

Hi,
I made the same interesting observation as you a little while ago. This Royal reminds me of the original "CVR" type orecks since it has the boxy, plasticized bag without the bag clip trim at the bottom and without the diagonal stripe. I think Oreck still makes at least one "even more classic" upright still--it's just a commercial model. I wouldn't mind having either one. Although, if I had to pick, I'd probably take the Royal based on looks. Thanks for sharing! CLICK HERE TO GO TO broomvac's LINK | ||

@vacuumdevil I'm well aware, that was my point. I prefer torx over Phillips, yes, but give me a hex head any day. I've stripped out more torx head screws that I care to remember. Phillips too. Fun fact, did you know Phillips head screws are designed with the intention of the screwdriver torqueing out of it? That's how the factory workers know they tightened it enough.
