Pros: Nice long cord, plenty of power.
Cons: no attachments on vacuum.
Summary: Why I bought the Oreck: I was tired of cheap vacuums breaking under heavy usage. Yes, we have pets, and yes, we have four children, but that doesn't mean that a vacuum has the right to wimp out on us, does it? Where I bought the Oreck: ... read more

Pros: Lightweight--You can toss it back in the closet very easily.
Cons: It does not vacuum up, anything!
Summary: EVERYTHING! That is what we say as we "vacuum" with this near-worthless piece of garbage. I have owned this machine for about six years. I, thankfully, live in a house with mostly wood and tile floors. On occasion, I vacuum the ... read more

Pros: very light weight.
Cons: loss of suction after one bag change, and no onboard acessories. Expensive vacuum and accessories.
Summary: I want everyone to read this review because, I am not a recent buyer of this vacuum, I am writing this review after purchasing this vacuum about 2 and half years ago (I bought this vacuum in October 2005). Thus today my oreck works minimal to what it is ... read more

Pros: Great suction power, super light weight, compact
Cons: Expensive, uses bags
Summary: Like the previous reviewer, I bought my Oreck at a store location in Greenville, SC. I also went to the store on two separate ocassions. The first time I was sticker shocked that a vacuum could cost so much money and told the salesman I didn't know if ... read more

Pros: Very lightweight 8 pounds
Cons: Costly if I bought it new.
Summary: This vacuum rocks. It is easy to handle and move around. It puts less stress on my back and it really picks up tons of cat hair. I have 3 cats that constantly shed and it is so easy to pull this baby out and clean the condo in a short amount of time. ... read more

Pros: Weight, power of motor, use on bare, carpeted or tiled floor, rough or flat.
Cons: Nearness of repair places.
Summary: I have enjoyed my Oreck XL2 for three years. With three cats, 2 long-haired, and one black long-haired dog, it has been a joy to operate. The light weight has been a treat. Also, it's ability to go under my bed to vacuum up cat hair has been a real ... read more

Pros: light weight, long cord (30 ft), quick release cord holder, functional design.
Cons: pricey but you can purchase one of the factory reconditioned models for 50% off
Summary: The Oreck looks something like an old style upright that my grandmother had. However, it weighs 8 lbs instead of over 16lbs for the old vacuum. In addition to being lightweight, the Oreck is more powerful, quieter, dust free, and does a better ... read more

Pros: Great job cleaning, very light
Cons: No attachments, some cheap materials
Summary: I must say I'm quite impressed with this vaccum. First off, it's not too noisy. I have heard more quiet ones, but they aren't nearly as powerful as this beast! I will say, I have a cheap 6lbs machine I use to clean upstairs. However, this 8lbs Oreck ... read more

Pros: Cleans Excellent
Lightweight and easy to push
No dust and dirt flying through the air
Cons: A little pricy - but worth it!
Summary: I love this vacuum. The bags are very easy to install. Before this vacuum, I had several of the bagless because I thought that was the way to go - wrong! This vacuum is so light and easy to much. It cleans remarkably well. I love to vacuum now, I ... read more

Pros: LIGHT!!! Powerful, easy to use.
Cons: None
Summary: I purchased the Oreck XL vacuum because my wife and I grew tired of lugging our 30 pound Kirby up and down the stairs. This little 8 pound vacuum packs a punch! When I received the vacuum, the only thing to do was attach the handle. Just the turn of ... read more

Pros: Good suction, light, reliable, 35 foot cord, easy to use. This is a commercial vacuum
Cons: This model, only a 1 year warranty.
Summary: This XL2000 model is a good workhorse. Get it now before it's replaced by newer junk. It used to be a great vacuum from a great company. Now that old man Oreck is no longer running the company they are fast heading the way of junk. More and more of their

Pros: I liked the free shipping.
Cons: A product should last longer than a few months under normal wear and tear.
Summary: I purchased this vacuum and at first it worked fine on my carpet.Two of my sisters had previously purchased the same vacuum and were completely satisfied. I, however, am not. It appears that the wheels are not working properly when vacuuming

Pros: great performance, light and its made in USA! That matters.
Cons: Bags. Old vacuum was bagless, need to get used to checking/changing bag
Summary: Our Westinghouse vacuum worked fine, but weighed a ton and was hard to maneuver. We have a new dog, a border collie mix that sheds more than any dog I have ever seen. We need to vacuum a lot, so the weight/bulkiness of existing vacuum was a drawback. We

Pros: NONE
Cons: WORKS POORLY
BREAKS FREQUENTLY
HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE
VERY EXPENSIVE
Summary: After seeing David Oreck's smiling face on numerous TV spots over the years I decided to spend a more money than I had planned on a new vacuum cleaner and buy an Oreck. BIG MISTAKE! I have had many vacuum cleaners over the years and the Oreck was the

Pros: great suction, very light
Cons: have to buy bags
Summary: We decided to buy an oreck when our bagless vaccum just wasn't doing the job. I love this vaccum, it sucks just about everything. It is so light that it is easy to carry up and down the steps. Most people don't like the fact that the attachments

Pros: Good suction
Cons: Frequent replacement of belt, pet hair entangles in roller bar easily.
Summary: I have owned the XL for about 5 years now, but will replace it soon with a less expensive vacuum. It does have excellent suction power. I like the fact that it is lightweight, and easy to use, once you clean the pet hair off the roller bar. The belt
