Heavy. Heavy duty power. Great for steps
Didn’t realize it used a bag. Will be worth it to buy the bags. Super powered suction- great for raggedy carpeted steps, also risers of streps-tool head fits in between steps perfectly. Easy to place every few steps and use instead of wear/carry.

A reliable and useful product
Great vacuum. I swing it over my shoulder to do the stairs and the furniture. Easy to use. Great suction. Lightweight, attractive least for me. Stores in a small area.

Great vacuum to clean up after an install job.
I’m a home improvement contractor and I’ve been looking for a small vacuum for quite some time now. I’ve always looked at the 1 gallon shop vacs but never liked the size or the reviews. One night I entered small vacuums in the search and just kept clicking page after page after page and eventually saw this little Oreck. Read the reviews and it seemed like it was a good little machine.I wasn’t looking for a big shop vac to do major cleanups. I have that and it’s just a pain to have to take it out of my shop, load it into the truck and bring it into a clients home. I have a Fein dust extractor that’s quiet, but it’s big. It’ll take care of the big jobs if I need it. But I have to be conscious and make sure to bring it. I wanted a vacuum that I could always have in the truck, so I wouldn’t have to remember to pack it up. The rectangular shape and small size allowed me to find a permanent spot in the truck boxes so I’d always have it with me.Now the main use for me is cleaning up after installing cabinets and moldings. These type of jobs produce sawdust and small wood shavings. I usually put down tarps or other types of floor protection but no matter what the dust finds it’s way onto the floor or carpet. I use the vacuum during and after the job to keep the site clean. I guess the only real complaint I have is the small bag. It’s not really that bad except when the tablesaw is used because it produces quite a bit of sawdust. The bags are very inexpensive, under 40 cents each. Usually I’ll dump the sawdust out 1 or 2 times before swapping out to a new bag, just because I’m frugal. I’ve learned that you can store 2 extra bags inside where the vacuum bag goes on either side of the machine. Makes it nice so I don’t have to go out to the truck when it needs replacing.My first major use of the vacuum was installing casings for doors and windows and baseboard in a house that had been gutted and redone. The floors were all hardwood oak and stained a walnut color. White sawdust on a dark floor just sticks out like a sore thumb. The Oreck with it’s larger floor attachment does the trick. I use the brush function on the floor attachment to clean the dark floors and it just picks up everything so nice. If something is a bit ground in then you might have to make a back and forth pattern to get the dust up, but usually one pass in an area was enough to clean it up perfectly. The round brush is good for getting the tops of baseboards, window sills and inside of freshly installed cabinets without leaving marks or doing damage.I had the same problem as others with the strap coming loose and the vacuum dropping to the floor. I used the twist tie that came with the machine and wrapped it around the strap to keep it from pulling through, solved the problem. This is definitely something Oreck needs to remedy. It’s uncalled for.As for storing the vacuum in the truck I built a small plywood box that holds the vacuum and all the tools securely with a very small footprint. So far I’m pretty impressed with the vacuum.

Best canister vac on the market but the cord is a little bulky.
I had one of these for 20 years and it finally bit the dust, so I replaced it with this. In my opinion it’s the best canister vacuum out there. Strong suction and a variety of attachements for any task. My only issue is a good/bad issue. The cord length is longer than on my old one. That’s the good. But the cord is a thick industrial cord that makes storage a bit more difficutl as you can’t wind it all the way up as easily on the “residential” version. It’s a small detail but it holds it back from me giving it 5 stars.

EXCELLENT… with a few MINOR drawbacks
Before I get to the shortcomings, I want to say that this is an excellent machine. It is not perfect, but it is a powerful, and well accessorized unit, and one hell of a value at the current price. Now for the relatively few shortcomings:(1)The weakest link is the shoulder strap. It is actually made from a high quality webbing , but the STITCHES that secure the strap to the metal attachment clips are extremely inadequate. Mine lasted less than 1 minute before failing, and allowing the vacuum to fall from my shoulder. The FIX is relatively easy, and should be completed BEFORE the strap is attached to the machine. TIP: fet a couple of wooden spring-loaded clothes pins (a packet of these will cost you under one dollar at Dollar Tree). Spray the “business ends” of two clothes pins with WD-40 (super glue will not stick to WD-40). place each clip over the folded-over web ends so as to hold the “flaps” very close to the main webbing. Run a bead of SUPER GLUE along the end of the flaps so as to reinforce the stitching. (Do this far away from the machine itself, or you will wind up with drops of super glue where you don’t want it. Allow the super glue to dry for an hour or so… just to play it safe.(2) The cradle that holds the accessories can easily be installed upside-down by mistake.Pay close attention to the (very small) pictorial in the assembly instructions. The semi-circular “blades” should be “sticking up” (top-side) when correctly installed. To my mind this is counter-intuitive,.. but this is correct. The caddy is difficult to snap into place, and you may think that you are going to break it, as much force is needed. Position one end into its proper “socket”, and snap the other end into place. BE SURE to first thread the puwer cord through the caddy correctly. I did it “upside down” and had to do it over. NOTE: the ONLY WAY to get the cord into the right slot in the caddy housing is to push it downward between the two semi-circular blades of the center accessory boss.The assembly instructions are VERY sketchy in this regard.(3) Number three will only affect fellow left-handed owners: the side-mounted electrical cord “caddy” interferes with your hip if you hang the unit on your right side. The only practical use is to hang the unit (from your shoulder) at your left hip, and hold the “wand” with your right hand. I put the strap over my right shoulder, and the strap crosses my chest diagonally. This provides the most secure body-mounting.(4) Lastly, the unit is a bit heavy, and somewhat clumsy to tote… but that is a function of how well-built it is. The vacuum is very powerful, and very well made. I would buy it again in a heartbeat.

Simple and nice
I am pleased so far. Although i thought it was missing a strap hook but it was hiding in the bag. I wasn’t too impressed at first cuz i thought the handle was too short but then saw it expands. I like the the smaller head because it fits under thing nicely. Although idk if i like the switches that stick up quite a bit. Personal issue is the orange cord. But i don’t care as long as it works. I like the attachments selection. I think there should be a locking mechanism to keep the wands on. You have to make sure it’s snug so it doesn’t come off. I really haven’t used it but once so not sure if other issues will arise. For the price, i think it’s worth it. The suction is good too!
