Anyone here have an ORECK vaccum? - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

MyTrixie143 · 10-06-2008, 09:10 PM

We have an Oreck and I LOVE it!! We will never have any other brand again!!
It is so easy to use and light weight and picks up so much. Plus every time I use it, it leaves the room smelling so fresh!!

I hate canister vacuums and will stick with ones with bags, it feels so much cleaner!!

My mom's ex husband has an Oreck as well and has a German Shepherd/Husky mix that stays inside. This dog sheds like you wouldn't believe!! The carpet is just covered in hair. You get the Oreck out and it picks it all up. I keep saying he needs to record it and send it in to them as it would be perfect to use for a commercial as it really shows how much it does pick up.

I have an Oreck and love it! Its SO light weight. I'll never go back to a bagless vacuum again... bags in my opinion are so much easier.

Oh, and the Oreck even comes in pink.

I will love the pink one, but don't want to give any excuse for not using it

I have one, my Mom bought my siser and I one 2 years ago. It is really lightweight but I have 4 dogs and us humans all have longer hair and It does a fair job of getting hair up not great.

Thank you so much for the input everyone! I'm pretty sure I'm going to get one. And I want a PINK one too!!!!! I don't have any carpet in my house....just hardwoods and rugs. The Oreck did more than an adequate job of getting up all the hair. It did a WAAAAAAAAY better job than the bagless vacuum I have now. I don't think I need to spend $200 MORE than I would on an Oreck on a Dyson when I hate bagless and when it may only pick up a fraction more hair. I may feel differently if I had plush carpets, but for right now, the Oreck should work for me. Thanks again!

Oh Definitely! I'd go with the Oreck if you don't have carpet - it will do just fine and the lightweight will save your back!!!

We have an Orek- the one for allergies I think. We also have a lab and a golden retriever (hair, anyone??) and this vacuum is AWESOME!! The canister vacs are really bad for allergies because they are not airtight, but the Oreck vaccum with the hepaseal bag or whatever prevents allergens from going back into the air... IMHO..

emilyann · 10-09-2008, 06:58 AM

Hm... this thread is really interesting. I have horrid allergies. I'm very young and just moved out on my own around a year ago. My boyfriend and I bought all of our stuff for our apartment on a whim. I got a Bissel vacuum with the canister and I hate it... HATE IT! We now live in a crappy rental house and I believe it picks up more carpet in the living room than anything else

. I want something new but I feel like since I've only had it a year it's like ?!?! It just seems like it has no suction what so ever and if you have the brushes lowered, they won't spin like they're supposed to - they only spin when it's on the highest setting, therefore I feel like it isn't picking up anything. I want a bag vacuum now

I have an ORECK at home in Alabama and a newer one here in Colorado. I love them!! I bought the first one because after 3 back surgeries, the doctor told me not to vacuum, mop, etc. [I know, that would make most people happy ... but, Patrick just doesn't vacuum to suit me!

]. The ORECK is so lightweight, I am not afraid to use it and it does a great job on both my carpet and tiled floors. Let us know what you decide and how you like your selection.

I never thought about it .... until now! Now I have to figure out .... I know why I don't like his vacuuming ... he vacuums really, really fast and [IMO] that just doesn't clean well. Oh, and he tends to vacuum around things!

Now, I wonder why he doesn't like to ride with me driving ... I am a very good driver!!

Thanks for the input everyone!!!! I think I'm going to ride back over to the Oreck store today and check things out.

veguroev · 10-11-2008, 09:27 PM

you probably bought the Oreck by now. if you did, you'll love it! It'll be 4 years in December since I got mine. I last year was the last free tune up, so guess what?? I'm getting another one this December.
