Oreck XL 21 I have a Oreck xl21 and I think it is a wonderful vacuum for as light weight as it is.. And I didn't like Orecks till I got this XL 21. It is good for quick pickups. Then I don't have to get out the Kirby.... Dan | ||

Orecks do great on low pile carpet, they struggle with thicker piles, but they will groom it nicely. My grandmother in Nevada had an Oreck and I used it a couple times and I kind of fell in love with them. Maybe it's just mine, but I think a lot of the loudness is just the motor vibrating the plastic to death, it seems to vibrate less if you push down on the hood when the vacuum is on.

Me fourth
I too have never seen the insides of an Oreck. I just sold my xl21 last night and my first vac I'd ever bought ( xl 9100 from '97). The xl21 was a little lower amp model, they weren't quiet by any means, but not excessively loud. After getting used to Kirbys and rainbows, the pitch of Orecks just didn't appeal to me. They sure are lightweight to use
