So, orecks aren't the greatest vacuums, or the worst. But I've won one in a contest! It was called 'Vacuum Cleaner Clunkers' :send in a picture of your olod worn out vacuum and they will select two of the people to win a new oreck xl vacuum. I used a spare Electrolux olympia 1 for the picture. I covered it in duct tape and took the cordwinder and bagdoor off, etc.. Right now I am just really excited. I think we're picking it up this afternoon. Oh joy!

Wow, I am sooo jealous. I know alot of posters are not a fan of Oreck, but for a low pile carpet I find they do clean very well. I had a Hoover 61 that was falling apart which would've been the perfect candidate for the contest. Do you know yet which model Oreck you are getting? Do you get the compact canister along with it?

I have the same oreck model in your first picture and I must agree that Orecks do clean well and I LOVE their carpet lines!

The Tradition dosn't look to bad. The Classic really dosn't either,except for the bag.

Really a shame that Kenmore Automtic is in such deplorable condition. Wonder if it could be restored? Paging Mr. Kautzman....
