Author's Review
I must say I'm quite impressed with this vaccum. First off, it's not too noisy. I have heard more quiet ones, but they aren't nearly as powerful as this beast! I will say, I have a cheap 6lbs machine I use to clean upstairs. However, this 8lbs Oreck beats that cheapo hands DOWN! There is absoluely no comparison to the cleaning power the Oreck has. And, even on areas were I used my old Vacuum(Kenmore Canister vac) This one does a much better job cleaning up. The floor is much more fluffed. I love to hear when things go flying though the pipe...I know things are getting done!
Now, the looks are rather...anchient. Yeah, I kinda like the look, but it's certainlly not modern. Unforunetly, the head is rather bulky so you can't get under some things too easilly. Plus, there are no onboard attachments. I reccomend a cheap canister vac for those jobs...
I also didn't like how the cord was on mine. To me, it just seemed like it would kink and possibly mess up over time. I just used a little electical tape to hold the wire at a better posistion...
Probably my least favorite part would be the bag holder. Maybe it'll be fine, but it just seems extreamly flemsy. I'm afraid I'll break it over time. Even so, it shouldn't be all that hard to rig so it is held together somehow.
