Re: looking for an upright vacuum...i've heard pros and cons for the
oreck pro's:
lightweight
slim profile
oreck cons:
pretty expensive
you need 2 vacuums to clean your home
clog easily
all dust/dirt goes through the motor, which may cause damage
small motor= not effective for deep down cleaning
for example, if you wanted an oreck xl21, which is $750 dollars, they also send you a canister for free. you need the canister with the oreck, because oreck uprights are designed to clean floors only!
for $750 dollars, you can have a sebo x5 upright vacuum. it comes with integrated hose, crevice tools, and a dusting brush. very slim profile, under 6", able to fold flat and vacuum under furniture. auto height adjustment, s-class filtration. sebo vacuums are very reliable, and will last atleast 20 years or more.
sebo x4, or x5 uprights tell you if you need to change the bag, change the filter, or if their is a brush jam or a clog. the belt on the x4/x5 is warranted and guaranteed for the lifeime of the machine. clogs are easily removed, as are basg, filters, and the brushroll. so, for the same price of the xl21, you can have a vacuum that deep cleans, is reliable, and has onboard tools.
i hope that this helps you. if you have any more questions, please feel free to ask me!
