Oreck - U2000R-1

> thinking I wanted a Dyson. > > The repair guy set me straight. 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.

Oreck! Weighs 8 pounds and cleans pet hair amazingly.

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

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

My parents lost me borrow a oreck bag Vacuum that's been in our family as, long as I can remember when I bought my house. A couple years ago I found a Dyson dc14 at a yard says for $20, replaced the clutch and it "worked" but never well, but I just properly cleaned the rollers of all the hair again, unclogged the small hose from the shroud to the ret of the unit, and it's sucking like a dream now. I've never pulled this much dust out of my rugs in my life and now I want to puke. Anyway, moral of the story is use what you have, and fix what breaks. Searching for used Dyson is a great option. Also rtings.com started doing vacuum reviews and I highly recommend rtings the anything they write.

This! I have killed so many vacuums by lack of maintenance. I bought an Orek because it doesn't have that stupid filter to clean. It's lasted over a year, which is a first for me.
