Oreck HEPA Upright Bagged Vacuum Cleaner, Lightweight, 30 ft Power Cord, UK30205PC, Blue Type CC Antimicrobial Upright Vacuum Cleaner Bag, AK1CC6, 6 Pack, Blue

This is absolutely and without a doubt the best vacuum I've ever had! I have back problems and was using a Hoover Wind Tunnel self-propelled until it broke down (for the second time in a little over a year). I decided that I would get a good vacuum that would last. I found the Magnesium RS online and thought it was a bit pricey. I was also very skeptical about the claim that, even though it wasn't self-propelled, you could run it across a plush carpet with one finger. Well, I'm not a skeptic any more! That is absolutely true. It's so light, and with the wheels (which I could never understand why Oreck didn't put them on their vacuums), you would never know it wasn't self-propelled.I've had Orecks in the past, and I wasn't crazy about changing the bags, as I always ended up with dust all over the place. The bag on the Magnesium not only pulls out easily, but it has a sliding dust cover that slides over the opening on the bag to keep 99% of the dust where it belongs. I have three cats who love to scatter litter around their boxes, but this vacuum sucks it all up like a trooper.The two speeds are great. All I have to do when I want to vacuum a throw rug is put it in low speed, and I don't have to worry about it sucking up half the rug. The auto turn-off feature works wonderfully if it happens to grab the corner of a rug. The vacuum shuts off immediately to allow you to remove the obstruction. I never understood what the big thing was about a swivel head on a vacuum, but it makes a tremendous difference when you're vacuuming around furniture.If you're looking for a top of the line vacuum that is a breeze to use and does a fantastic job, this is exactly what you're looking for!

My wife and I wanted a nice vacuum that would last for well over a decade . Having gone from a $20 vacuum we invested in a $200 shark. We were disappointed. Top heavy, held a cup worth of debri, ect. This Oreck is light but doesn't feel cheap. It feels well made. It self propells without resisting you. On low it is quiet and picks up debri before you even go over the area by several inches. I could go on, as it is literally the best vacuum we've ever used. My family gave us their 30 year old oreck and it still works great.Noteworthy Features: self propells, great suction, simple, very well made, led lights, power selection. Best feature: it is unlike most modern, overly complicated vacuums that are all hard plastic material. It knows it's just supposed to be a vacuum cleaner :) .

What I really bought this vacuum for was for the very lightweight feature. I wanted a vacuum that I could use for quick touch ups and would be light enough for me, not being a very big person, could easily carry up and down the stairs without asking my husband to do it for me. It is just that- very light weight, and maneuverable, but I do have other vacuums that I believe do a more deep cleaning job, and that includes getting the allergens etc. For an allergy sufferer, a bagged cleaner is a must. Have been using this machine for a few weeks, and am wondering if it really is a good as my Miele, a great upright but weighs a ton. I also own a Miele canister, many years old, which is needed to clean any other things aside from carpets, and floors. For me, it's very good for touch up cleaning of carpets, but my allergies have been worse lately, could the new Oreck be responsible? So, I still have to use other alternatives and not completely depend on this Oreck. After using this vaccum for sometime, I have less good to say about it. Yes, it's very lightweight, but I have noticed it DOES NOT clean my carpet deeply, and now after a month or so of use, notice a strange, dusty odor emitted while using, which is very obnoxious. It has a HEPA bag, but does it have the same HEPA filtration system as other vacuums. My allergies are worse, and I will use this machine in the basement only now. A shame, because it has many other features which I did like.

Love that this vacuum was so lightweight and easy to maneuver. Worked well for almost five years, and then it just died on me (circuit board went bad). I'm working with Oreck support and a local authorized Oreck dealer to get a new, replacement vacuum, as this one is covered under the 7 year warranty. We shall see if it happens, I hope so.

We pruchased this because our new home has shag carpeting in it. It was a spec home so we had no choice otherwise we would not have chose that kind of carpeting. Because the vacuum that we had a pretty heavy duty beater bar we thought we should look to see what kind of vacuum would be best for shag. This Oreck was recommended so we thought we would give it a try. We are very happy that we did. It is very light weight and easy to manouver as well as doing a great job cleaning.

Love this vacuum for commercial house cleaning only . I would never use in a commercial building . Light weight easy to push , quiet enough and I like the two speed option . The only downfall of this vacuum is the on off power switch . This is my second vacuum and same issues with both . I’ve bought 15 of the oreck commercial uprights for my janitorial company and 50% of them all have power issues. I would think if they could fix the electrical issues they would have one of the best vacuums on the market.

I wish l could say l am enjoying my Oreck. This item wasn't described as non working ; just used.I spent 2 hours trying to get it to work. I even went out to purchase a replacement battery that fits intothe power handle; but still couldn't get it to turn on. My son who is an electrician; had no success.I tried and tried to find away to speak to someone at Amazon; but found the hard way that Amazonprefers not to speak to anyone and you have to go to YouTube to find a way to customer service.I've owned several orecks in the past 20 years. Its a good product ; but mine was returned for a reason.It didn't work and was resold again.I really do not want a refund. I would like to exchange it for a working model. I probably average an Amazon purchaseevery other day; but at this point , im very disappointed . I don't have a working vacuum in my home and willhave to borrow one.

This is the easiest vacuum I've ever used. In fact I bought two of them. It glides and picks up everything, is easy to lift and carry around and it does a wonderful job on carpets and hard wood floors. I have to vacuum my carpets frequently because of two long haired cats and I find myself looking forward to vacuuming! When does that ever happen?

Great vacuum. It really is lightweight compared to others and very maneuverable.
