Oreck - U2000R-1

Over the last 13yrs, I’ve owned FOUR Dyson Animals. I have several big dogs. My house is hardwood and new SHAG carpet in the bedrooms. (I know, I know…it came with the house!) I purchased a Shark last year, but you know what I keep coming back to? My 20yr old Oreck XL…No frills, no hose, but its a workhorse! I recently found a ‘nearly new’ Oreck Magnesium and you know what? EVERY ONE of those Dysons are going to the donate or FB Marketplace pile. Anyway…that’s my two cents. Good luck!

Oreck! Weighs 8 pounds and cleans pet hair amazingly.

From what I've seen of Dyson products in general, they sell replacement parts but you won't want to go through with the repairs because of the time and parts cost. > bagged is superior longterm IMO. Oreck Commercial upright traditional corded is the vacuum that impressed me most recently, after having been an Electrolux canister user for much of my life. We used to go out of our way to get the Electrolux bags, and I think that was the thing that people were trying to avoid at one point with the bagless -- getting locked into some particular bags.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. The best sub-$300 vacuum is an Oreck Commercial model. Used all day every day in hotels, etc., lasts a lifetime, designed to be repaired, replacement parts available and cheap.

You are cleaning as a business, use a commercial vacuum. An Oreck Commercial vacuum. Best $180 vacuum in existence.

Bagged Oreck commercial quality for animal hair should be in the running.

Orecks are lightweight, have huge bags and pick up really well, but there are no attachments.

It's odd Oreck has never considered adding attachments. At one time, though, they were giving away a free little canister vac if you bought their upright.

Depends on your budget really. My fave was an upright Orek, when that died after 10 years of cleaning up after five cats. I then got a Miele which again lasted a long time (about 12 or 13 years). Got rid of a Dyson after six months - useless! And still are... At the moment I am using a Henry Quick Pet combined with a Roomba I7. The robot does surprisingly well on our rugs and hard floors.

My upright Oreck vacuum cleaner has finally bitten the dust. Until I decide what to purchase next I am looking to rent an upright vacuum cleaner; not a carpet cleaning machine. And not something for construction work, just an ordinary residential vacuum cleaner. Has anyone heard of this or am I just out of luck? Thanks for any input😎

Thank you I will look into that. I had a bad experience with Dyson - to me it was a piece of junk; only lasted a year. I really liked my two Orecks. In my dreams I want a really powerful robot vacuum but I don’t know if such a thing exists. They seem to be made for hard floors.🙄

I have had my Oreck serviced 4 or 5 times Day Cin Vacuums. They are great. But at some point I have purchased a new vacuum in service fees.😊 I like upright vacuums but as I get older it’s harder to use it on my two flights of stairs 😹. Bought a Dyson stick vac a couple years ago - big mistake. They are not meant for people with carpets or pets and I have both.

I have high pile carpets and my new Orexk Upright is so hard to push! Any suggestions for a different type of vacuum? I don’t want bagless

They charge by the job so it’s rush rush rush and using a dust mop is wayyyyy faster I have a small house and you constantly have to go back and then it’s stuck on its own cord I love it but no cleaners I’ve had do. They prefer an upright. I should have got a Felix but ended up with an oreck upright and the K3
