So earlier today I went to Hooks vacuum shop and was going to buy Kirby micro magic bags for my G3 I polished and cleaned up until when I was waiting at the register I happen to saw a red orange Portapower with wheels! So I asked the cashier if it’s for sale and said yes so I looked at it and it’s actually a Oreck brand Portapower! Except it’s called the XL Power Pak. I only paid $10.81, a steal! I think this is a rare canister vacuum that Oreck rebranded. Funny, I was wanting a Portapower with wheels and a Oreck XL canister since I got my 1st XL upright couple weeks ago, instead I got 2 vacuums in 1!

Serial number, around the 80’s or 90’s?

judging by the hose and attachments, that is way too old to be from the 90s! |

KirbyClassicIII's Post# 211851 here states it came out in 1982: www.vacuumland.org/cgi-bin/TD/TD-...
They must be extremely rare because I cannot find any photos of one or any information outside of Vacuumland. |

No conformation on that, but trying to find other pics of this vacuum in Google Images, I just kept running into the same photos from this thread. Couldn't find any videos on YouTube either. All I could find about it on Vacuumland was just mentions here and there in comments from various members here.
