Product Description
Oreck Vacuum Cleaner: The XL Classic Base Model picks up pet dander, dust mites, and dust. The airglide system "self-propels" it across the floor and from room to room. At just 8 lbs, it's lightweight, easy to maneuver and takes the hard work out of housework!

Needs a longer electrical cord,
By
This review is from: Oreck Vacuum Cleaner XL Classic Base Model (Kitchen)
Hands down, this is a great vacuum. It's lasted my family for well over 4 years, and I don't see any indication that it won't last longer. It's not falling apart like the cheaper vacuums you might find at other stores.
It does one thing (suck), and it does it fairly well. Be forewarned though it's not going to pick up the tough jobs in one pass like you may have been led to believe in the infomercials. Recently we were cleaning up the needles from our real Christmas tree and found it took 5-7 passes of the area to get all the needles picked up. For normal household use, it performs fine. My one real complaint is the size of the cord. I don't live in a large house with big rooms by any means, but I do have a problem of the cord not reaching from one side of the room to another. I usually have to plug the cord up at a central location in the room and go from there.

Design Flaw,

This review is from: Oreck Vacuum Cleaner XL Classic Base Model (Kitchen)
I recently bought the Oreck, after falling for the ads on tv and in print, about the suction power and the lightweight advantage. I love the fact that it isn't heavy, and the suction is fine, but the design is flawed, as it clogs almost every time I use it. I have to take it apart and clear out the entry area right behind the beater brush. It has a sharp angle, and debris gets caught up in there. I have long haired dogs and use the vacuum a lot. If I suck up a tiny piece of paper or even a 1/2 inch long leaf, it clogs and the hair won't go up into the bag. I am very disappointed. I spent nearly $300 and had I known, I would have just bought another 79.00 Bissell, as it never clogged.

This Vacuum is Amazing!,
By Nathan "Natebaker1" (Atlanta, Ga) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Oreck Vacuum Cleaner XL Classic Base Model (Kitchen)
I recently baught 2 Oreck Classic's for our business and after seeing how well it performed there I had to purchase one for my house. I don't know what happened to the other people who are posting about complaints but one thing is foresure... My Oreck is Amazing.
We have a 145lb St.Bernard that sheds very heavy in the summer and the Oreck pulls the hair and dander up with ease... I have had to make 3-5 passes to get all of the dirt and hair but that is no different from other models I have owned. I would recommend this vaccum to everyone. My wife and I love to use it and know we will have this Vaccum for years to come.
