I think Orecks are perfectly fine machines. The bagged uprights clean well enough, have good sized bags, long cords, and are easily repaired. They are also lightweight and not a chore to lug around. I've never had an Oreck fail or even a belt break on me. | ||

I like the XL21 and a couple of the newer ones. This machine though is a beast in its own! | ||

The gallery of Oreck
That machine passed through my hands on its way to you. There were no spirits or ghosts involved. No one fell down the staircase of hell. I’m glad you got it. It’s kind of like a Hoover model 67 that my friend Eleanor bought new in the box. She tried to use it for her daily driver she could not. The bearings were so dry. Dry like Irish pepper cookies or soda bread. The last time any lubricant had been shoved in these bearings was by a man in North Canton. And he only did a half assed job. Eventually, I got my grease gun and pumped her up until she was full. Now that Hoover model 67 can clean until eternity. There are so many white Karastan rugs with terrible stains on them that need to be cleaned. What is that stain?

The Dual Stack is a very rare vacuum! Last time I seen one someone wanted $150 for it! It was only for commercial use and not many people ordered them.
Orecks are great vacuums - but most people just don't realize they are for low pile or no pile carpet. They have a soft brushroll and small motor and cannot penetrate plush carpet or thick pile. All my Orecks do great on my basement commercial carpet - but when placed on plush test carpet - they really struggle. Orecks are excellent vacuums to learn repairs on - it's all easily laid out and literally everything is put together with a philips screw. I have gotten two of them as just a pile of disassembled parts in a box, and just from eyesight and no instructions at all got them fully assembled in 15-20 minutes. | ||
