Wouldn't the Felix fit that roll as well? I have never seen an Oreck cleaner since uprights are not really my thing but the Felix is not heavy at all and I doubt you could find an upright that cleans better. Mike |

@tolivac would love to see you post some high-res pictures of it.
@dysonman1 I believe this is a picture of the machine you speak of. You say it's now discontinued? What is going on with Aeurs? Have you seen the new Oreck cordless xlx21 I saw the prototype at the vdta it's quite impressive for a cordless vacuum. @n0oxy No doubt the Felix and numerous other machines are superior. that's why I call it a guilty pleasure because there's something about it I just like.

I love my Hoover Platinum lightweight upright! Powerful, effective and a pleasure to use. Huge easy-to-replace dust bag and very long cord too. Rated “excellent” for carpet cleaning by Consumer Reports when they tested it. Too bad it’s no longer available - and I no longer see the Royal version on their website anymore either. 🙁

As a "cleanerphile" who prefers an upright/canister cleaning duo, these Oreck clones are fantastic for my vacuum cleaning preferences. I don't like using bulky, complicated combination vacuum cleaners - I clean a room from top to bottom with a powerful, simple suction-only canister, then finish the room by deep cleaning with my Hoover Platinum bagged upright - starting from the far end of the space and backing out toward the door/entry point.
If it's time to do a deep clean under the bed or under other heavy furniture that needs to be moved or taken apart, I'll of course use the upright to deep clean the carpet covered by the furniture. |

The black and grey Fresh Era uses the Royal style 18 belt. They are knurled like Kirby belts and have great traction.
I was so sorry to see Aerus turn to tacony as the manufacturer of their lightweight uprights. I refuse to give that company one dime of my money - will never sell their products under any circumstances. I hate everything about them. Never ever tacony. I do love selling Aerus vacuums - the Classic canister is one of my favorite machines to demonstrate and sell. I think the Fresh Era cleans very well for an 8 pound cleaner and has great airflow. Wish they still made them. |

The Aerus classic is a great power team canister. I wonder where those are made now. Tacony has really gone down hill, if you want a well made upright these days, you would need to go with Sebo or Miele. I think even the high quality metal Royal uprights are no longer being made but not sure on that. Mike |

I really do like these, in my opinion I think they're better than some Orecks that I've used before. I would love to add the Hoover Clean & Light and/or the Royal RY6400 for my collection. It's a shame personally that TTI decided to drop these along with those other lightweight uprights like the Hoover Platinum Collection for example, they could've just slapped the Oreck name on them if they feel the market was still there. I would pick the Platinum over the Elevate Control if had to choose which one to buy. I have not used the Fresh Era version before but they look like some improvements were made such as LED headlights and a wooden brushroll from what I see. If Aerus liked these so much, they've should've bought the design, tooling, and moldings from TTI. And they possibly would've added a few more jobs at their Bristol plant by having the Fresh Eras assembled here. I'm pretty sure they most likely didn't because of budget reasons but the new Aerus Lites just doesn't look like a Lux compare to the Fresh Eras with it's L-shaped nozzle in my opinion. Still great lightweight uprights in my opinion but I think if Aerus licenses Electrolux's brand again or partner with Electrolux AB, they both could together design something new for a lightweight upright if Electrolux would be up to it because they are still a major appliance company today. Just a thought.

I've said this once before: I'd love to see Miele create an Oreck clone to pair up with their great suction-only canisters. Miele could offer their famous filtration in the bag, and reduce the noise levels common with these lightweights. Maybe even a brush-roll shut off configuration for bare floor cleaning.
