I have written like 2 reviews and usually don't bother - mostly because I hate 2 word reviews but don't have time to write complete reviews. But after one use I had to comment about this amazing vacuum.
We had our home professionally cleaned again after moving in 2+ years ago when it was last cleaned professionally, I couldn't believe how much better our carpets looked - like when we moved in but I have not been able to replicate with my Dyson since. I was considering getting the carpet cleaned professionally because the Dyson has trouble picking up the carpet pile in high traffic areas unless I use a carpet rake first and follow the same vacuum pattern every time. I thought the house cleaner did something to the carpet but she only vacuumed with the commercial Oreck vacuums she said she swears by, and that I didn't need to clean my carpet. How could a vacuum that looks like the one my mom used be better than my awesome looking Dyson that I paid like $400 for?
I hesitated but did my research and purchased the Oreck. It was pretty easy to assemble and had to endure my family laughing because they thought I'd purchased a 40 year old vacuum. But I tried it on a notoriously high traffic area that I usually have to vigorously rake to get the pile up with the Dyson. The Oreck pulled up the carpet pile without raking it first, AND while vacuuming in the opposite direction.
I got all excited and vacuumed the whole house and FINALLY it looks like the day we moved in (the last time it was professionally cleaned).
I will qualify this by saying I do have an older Dyson vacuum, maybe 10 years old or so....but we had wood floors put in not long after I bought it so it does NOT have many miles on it at all. I think the Oreck just took the Dyson to town, at half the cost and half the weight.
The Oreck is light enough to use on stairs and I was able to do a flight in no time compared to wrestling the Dyson and the stair attachment up and down the stairs. I even used the Oreck on the couches and ottoman and it removed the cat hair really well. I will keep my Dyson for the attachments and pet hair turbine (for pillows and small areas), but that is not a knock on the Oreck because the simplicity of the design compared to the Dyson I think adds to its amazing effectiveness.
Another great design feature of the Oreck is the low profile head and the handle that folds all the way to the floor. This give me access under desks, couches, and beds that the Dyson can't touch. It also transitions seamlessly between tile and carpet surfaces and is just as effective on hard floors as carpets without having to turn a knob to switch surfaces, like on most vacuums I've owned. Also, the extension cord is 40' long and plugs into a shorter cord on the vacuum and held together with a cord lock. This is a great concept that I would assume would allow you to switch to different length cords, based on your needs.
I read reviews that the commercial models don't work on high pile carpet. I don't know the definition of "high pile", but I have tile floors, low pile rugs like what you'd find in hotel carpets, and carpet that I consider pretty standard - like 1/2" thick or so. The Oreck works equally well on all three surfaces. Of course the vacuum gives more resistance on the carpet, but for what I consider normal or standard carpet pile this vacuum works great.
I'll get used to using a bag again. It's really old school along with the rest of the no frills design and function of this vacuum. But its a great trade-off for how my carpets look now, and although I don't anticipate having to replace any parts anytime soon with the extended life belt, it appears from my research that parts are easy to find and replace. Another benefit of the simple but incredibly functional design.

Commercial equates with easy to use for this vacuum :)
If anyone had told me that I would be giving five stars to an upright vacuum cleaner, I would have laughed in disbelief.After having so many different upright vacuum cleaners over my lifetime, I had decided to give up on them and just use a canister style. I found that pushing and pulling the uprights caused back pains. I also never felt as though I had the right setting for the rugs and carpets. The uprights just seemed to be more trouble than they were worth to me, especially when the belts broke or the bag style was discontinued.However, I was always intrigued by the Oreck ads touting the lightweight uprights. Yet, whenever I thought about getting one, I found that the number of different models made it difficult to choose which might be the most appropriate for my needs.Amazon made it easy for me when this model became a deal of the day. Before that, I would not even have thought about getting a commercial model. Since it seemed to have all the features that I liked, long cord, permanent belt, multi floor surface cleaning and a helping hand handle, I decided to take a chance and order this upright.This vacuum exceeded my expectations. It does easily move from carpeting to area rugs to tile floor and there are no settings that need changing. The only problem I had at first was when I accidentally ran it over the fringe end of an area rug. It immediately stopped when the fringe caught. I had no trouble moving it off the fringe and restarting it and I learned to stay away from those edges.I have never had an upright that I could so easily use under a king size bed. This vacuum easily goes under the bed and allows me to sweep the entire area without hurting my back by trying to move the bed.The suction power is strong both with the advanced filtration bags and the regular bags.The assembly was easy. I just needed to remove two screws on the back along with a protective piece of plastic, insert the handle into the opening and replace the screws.This Oreck commercial vacuum has changed my mind about upright vacuums and I am so glad that I got it.
