Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I used to be a believer in these vacuums. Not any more. We've had them for more than 10 years, and have had to replace them every 3 years or so, and have them repaired every 3 months. Something always breaks.For the record. We have 2 units in our house, and have purchased probably 6 in the past 10 years. So my views are based on substantial experience, not the first 3 weeks of a honeymoon.
Initially, we were attracted to the fact that they are supposedly "commercial", and you do occasionally see them in hotels. However, they are identical to the retail units, with the exception of the power cord and the warranty. The reason the retail units are 3 times as much money, is that they have a multi year warranty, which these vacuums need, because they break CONSTANTLY.
The Oreck people blame everyone...its the way you use it, its the cleaning people, its the kids, its bigfoot and the martians.... its everything but the lousy construction. We do have an active household and a large family, but that is no excuse for the thing constantly breaking.
They do vacuum ok, and they are light. But they are junky and built poorly. I finally had it last year when our main one died yet again, 2 months after its last $75 trip to the Oreck store. I bought a cheap hoover from Amazon, and lo and behold, it works better, cost 1/3 as much, and hasn't broken yet in almost a year.
Don't believe the hype. Too bad, as most vacuums are lousy anyway, but these Orecks are just junk. Its amazing how much we fall for fancy marketing. But these vacuums are simply not worth the money or hassle.
If you use a vacuum once a month, live a quiet life, and make little dirt, then these will do ok for a while.But if you expect to get $200 worth of value, look somewhere else.
