I would also take an Oreck over a Dyson. |

Same here, Love my Oreck XL21. It may not be a deep cleaner, but for everyday general cleaning it is awesome. It fits under everything, the Buster B is handy to grap to dust the bare floors..and everything contained within a bag. Karl, doesn't the excessive arching mean that the armature is going bad?

Sorry you're having troubles! I was able to rewire the Oreck a co-worker gave me with no problems at all, first try, which almost gave me a heart attack. The good news is that quite often Orecks are a dime a dozen on Craig's List (though sometimes they are WAY overpriced too), so maybe you could at least find a capable donor for 10 or 20 bucks, which is less than a new motor! It would be really helpful if someone had a color coded wiring diagram or pictorial... I searched online for a long time before I just decided to take my chance and see what happened. I figured if it blew up, I got it for free anyway! I like my Orecks OK, but give me a Dyson any day. They look great, and are powerful, easy to use, versatile cleaners. But alas, Oreck versus Dyson isn't the topic of this thread (nor should it be, they are completely different "animals", no pun intended)! :o) |
