Minus star rating!Dreadful. Broken after 7 months and the seller hasn’t replied to two messages. Appears to be no warranty despite the hundreds it has cost.

Powerful and well built. This vacuum sucks the dirt off all our floors. With a German shepherd and several other dogs, hair is a constant issue. With the large dust bags, this unit captures the shedding hair and allergens. No odors.

This is definitely a commercial vacuum. Works great. It is for tall people. I’m 5’2”. I kept it because of how good it works. I wish I would bought one with attachments do I could do couch, walls, etc. The bag is a good size. Best part, no dust, which I’m so allergic to it. The cord is another wonderful factor. Heavy duty and looong. Yippie. You can even detach and use as an extension cord. I vacuumed under the couch and bed and was thrilled that it was so easy. Great product.

The long cord is very helpful. It works well on all carpet types and hard floors. It takes me less time to vacuum now, and it lays flat to get under the coffee table. I'm very satisfied

I use this Oreck XL Model U2000R1 for home vacuuming. I have had several Oreck XL vacuums in the past. I serviced my old Oreck XL vacuums annually by a small-town vacuum repair guy, who was older, experienced, & honest. He taught me how to correctly wind up the cord to avoid cord damage, which is wind in a figure 8 pattern.After researching many other Oreck models as well as other vacuum upright bagged vacuum brands, I decided on the true blue Oreck XL brand & purchased this particular model (U2000R1) because the description checked all the boxes of what I was looking for in a vacuum.I have used this new Oreck XL vacuum several times since purchase & will give you my honest assessment of the product.Likes:-Nice self-propelled feature especially on low pile carpet & tile/linoleium flooring; however, you need to use both hands to steer the vacuum in tight spaces like corners. On higher or thicker pile carpet the self-propelled feature is not as noticeable so easier to steer.-Awesome suction (I vacuumed with my old Oreck just before using the new one, then I vacuumed immediately after using the new Oreck & was surprised by the sounds of tiny sand, pepples & small debris still left in the carpet that the old vacuum missed!)-Uses the same bag refill as my old Oreck XL, so I don't have to buy more bags-Slim build, so it fits nicely in the hall closet along side of my old vacuum-40 foot cord & it's red, so I can see it easily on dark colored flooring-Smooth transition between low/high pile carpet and tile/linoleum flooring-The on/off power button is on the handle; easy to control and I can use my foot to unlock from the upright position. I no longer have to switch my weight from one leg to the other & hold onto to the wall to unlock from the upright position & press the start button with my foot, which is what I had to do with my old Oreck. Now it's easy to unlock from the upright position with my foot & then press the start button with my thumb when I'm balanced and ready to begin vacuuming.Dislikes: -The description said this Oreck XL Model U2000R1 vacuum weighs 9 pounds; that's inaccurate; I weighed it and it registered at 33 pounds! One of the primary reasons I chose this model was because the product description said it weighs 9 pounds, so I am disappointed on that feature. My old Oreck XL vacuum registered in at 39 pounds! So I am still pushing around 33 pounds of vacuum - however - the self-propelling feature helps.-The upright locked position doesn't hold very well on carpet, as it tends to tip over so you need to be cognizant of where you place it when locking it in the upright position on carpet; however, it seems to hold okay in the upright locked position on tile or linoleum flooring.I am a senior on a fixed income. I spent about a year researching & shopping for a vacuum that I could afford, would be easy for me to operate, not be loaded down with a bunch of bells & whistles I don't need, & not break after a few months of use. These were the main criteria I used for deciding on this particular vacuum. Aside from the weight feature, I think I could recommend this vacuum to others.

Bought this for our church. It gets used for about 90 minutes every week. Works great for large areas as it is light weight and cleans well. Lack of attachments and no swiveling head are the reasons for the lack of a fifth star--I knew this before ordering, but those would be nice additions.

This our third Oreck vacuum. The first two we owned lasted about 10 years each. They are light weight and clean very well. Each one needed a new brush set at about 5 years and belts lasted about a year and a half. the secret to care is to change bags when needed and not get them too full. Change belts before the slip too much and don't get anything stuck in the brush. If something gets stuck stop it immediately and remove the item. Otherwise, you will ruin the belt. With proper care they will last 10 years, and I feel for the price, great value for the money. I would recommend. Happy customer.

From a seasoned domestic engineer with 50+ years of experience Pros: This vacuum is lightweight. It does pick up debris well. It does glide easily over multiple surfaces. Cons: it will give you an instant headache. The DB level, although not listed, sounds like it’s over 150. The on off switch is on the backside of the handle. In order to turn the unit on or off, you must stop vacuuming, reposition your hand from the handle and depress the power button. It does not have a light. The cord is bulky and not easily stored. The cord storage mechanism is not user-friendly, resulting in the cord being a tangled mess. I have owned Oreck products for over 30 years. This unit is, by far, the worst engineered vacuum I have ever used.

Good vacuum cleaner. Had a bit of a problem sorting out a man enough power supply. Works well.

Bought this to replace an preclude vacuum but have found it a bit on the heavy side, on the plus side it has a flexible hosepipe which works well.so far a very good machine.

Excellent bang for your buck! The residential units are prettier and have a few bells and whistles, but I’ve owned both now and I would say this one is definitely more value for the money. I especially love the extra long power cord - I can do the whole main floor of my house without having to move to another plug.

Excelante maquina, mejor Todo otro maquinas. Mi compar Hoover, no funciona. Mi comprar Shark roto en tres semanas. Oreck Es perfecto!
