Oreck is effortless from one floor covering to another. Oreck is ideal for cleaning both rug and floors daily with no need to shut off the brush roll and/or adjust height. I have medium pile loop Mohawk wool carpets and ceramic tile floors with area rugs. The WT grooms much better than the Oreck, but the Oreck is a competitive second. The others are a HOOVER WT Supreme and canister.

Many Oreck users vacuum the open traffic areas daily and then trade off once a week and/or 2 or more times a month with a larger full sized vacuum for a thorough household cleaning That's what I do. Orecks are usually sold at Estate sales for $25-$50 and well worth those prices. As the matriarch and patriarch in the family aged and could no longer vacuum with the full sized vacuums of their younger years, they switched over to the Oreck and were very pleased. I know families who were die hard users of Electrolux, Kirby, and other vacuum brands for years. My friend Mole likes to say a "hokie on a stick" facetiously, of course. endorsing the Oreck, I will take look at them for myself. My uncle asked me about an Oreck about three years ago, and I told him, "The Whats the best vacuum board said they are little more than an electric carpet sweeper." They had a central system installed instead and are quite happy with their choice.īut If I have experts like Mole and Carmine D. I had always overlooked the Oreck because I had heard it wasn't a real contender as a vacuum. But if I were using an Oreck daily and not just for quick pick-ups, I would opt for the XL Classic or better with the odor fighting hypo-allergenic celoc bags.
I admire your enthusiasm and resourcefulness. Like most vacuums of today compared to the early 90's, including Oreck, the XL is a vast improvement over its predecessors. Does one have many options with this older vintage, is it too cost prohibitive? I guess I have to give credit where credit is do, it was in the early 90's when the original owner bought this, and some 15 or so years later, it's still running!! I want better filtration than micro allergen bags (5 microns), I'm looking closer to filtrete/hepa, and a more powerful motor. I can't get a definitive answer from them. I contacted a few Oreck outlets/stores that sell them, as my main concern was about the poor filtration of the unit and it's lack of power. I turned the fan unit and the bearing appears ok, the arc on the armature looks fine as well.
I was astonished at how small and weak suction/airflow the unit produces. I bought it just to tear it to pieces to see how things tick as my knowledge of Oreck products is rather limited.

Is this unit similar to the the XL 21? From the instruction manual that came with it, it was bought in the early 90's. I bought an Oreck 9100C at a thrift store a short while ago. I paid $150 through the US Humane Society. Also, the dyson brush roll got wrapped with the new carpet nap and dog hair after each use. Both vacuums [Oreck and dyson} are self-adjusting. Oreck is much much better on my carpets than a new DC07 pink which constantly gave me the ratching noise and the roller brush refused to turn. I have wool medium pile looped carpet and Oreck cleans and grooms very well. On floors and area rugs, Oreck is premier. Oreck excels as a quick daily user between more heavy duty cleaning, say with a HOOVER WT weekly. If you don't delay vacuuming to once a week, the Oreck gets it up and out quickly. It takes several days for the surface dirt to be grind down and fall into the rug backing and pad. If you use the Oreck daily/frequently, for which it is designed, deep rug cleaning is not an issue and problem.
The XL21 has addressed the performance issue somewhat, but look at the price. They do well on low-pile carpets removing surface dirt, and on bare floors. I don't dispute that Orecks aren't well made (our XL9100 had no problems while we had it), in fact I think they're sturdy machines and US MADE! It's just that they don't deep-clean well and there are better choices out there for that purpose.
