I used a Shark Rocket when I lived in a 600 square foot cottage for 5 years. It was excellent for that purpose but now that I’m in a 2500+ square foot home I’m back to my Oreck XL21. I wouldn’t trade it for anything and it’s probably 15-20 years old now

I have a 25ish year old Oreck XL that’s still going strong! I bought it used from a thrift shop for $15 and paid something like $150 to have it serviced 4 years ago. Zero regrets, she’s a workhorse. We have two short haired dogs but very messy humans ranging from age 11-20 that live here and she cleans up after them very well.

Everything. I have wood floors with deep grooves and it sucks the sand and dust up beautifully

We have the oreck xl commercial upright one and it is so hard to maneuver on our thick carpet. I’d def cleans well but it’s such an arm workout I rarely use that vacuum. Not sure if I’m doing something wrong like you can change the base height somehow. Just thought I’d mention it

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.

Have the same vacuum. Parts are cheap and it’s easy to fix. Hepa bags are available. I use it to groom my carpet (I love vacuum lines).

Oreck! Weighs 8 pounds and cleans pet hair amazingly.

I have an Oreck that I bought in 2008. Love it. Very lightweight. I have it serviced every couple of years. I just had it done again last month, including having the bristle brush thingy that spins replaced, and wow. Vacuuming is almost fun.

We checked some of the hotels that we stayed at and ask housekeeping what vacuum they were given. Based on that, we got the Oreck XL Commercial. We figured that they went through a lot of vacuums and probably got ones that were reliable. It was not expensive. It looks very utilitarian but isn’t heavy. It uses replaceable filter bags instead of weird containers requiring manual cleaning. It’s worked well for us for at least 10 years with no problems.
