And here is the info... Note that it is a Remanufactured model. Not sure when that was done though. |

Looks like it's in really good shape after all the swapping, brushroll looks soft though |

the brush is soft and was called the micro sweep, was said to be able to sweep sand of bare floors. that's part of the oreck mystique (sarcasm intended) nice find ! ! ! congrats |

If you think it grooms the carpet well now, try removing the small front wheels...makes a big difference. The commercial model doesn't have those wheels. I love my Oreck and believe that they do clean well. My XL21 is a great vacuum. I used to think they were not a deep cleaning vacuum, but my opinion is changing on that as well. When I replace a bag...there is a good amount of sand and grit. Grant it will never out clean a Sanitaire, a Royal or Kirby, but they do have thier place in the market. Working on them is a true joy. Simple, easy, and quick. Hesco carries a replacement brush roll (I think a Cleavland Wood Products) that I think works better than the original Oreck. Seems to be a little stiffer. My preference is a bagged machine and the new Oreck bags are awesome. Never see the dirt...just what I want. It seals itself shut as you remove it....a great design. Price would be my only complaint.
