Introduction to the Oreck Vacuum and This Buyer's Guide

Hello everyone, my name is Matthew and I am a former store manager of an Oreck Vacuum Home Care Center. In my time as a store manager I learned the details of every Oreck product (the good and the bad) including all four brands of upright vacuum: the Oreck Classic, Oreck Deluxe, Oreck Ultra and the Oreck xl21. I also serviced enough vacuums to clean every rug in Persia.

My goal with this blogspot is to cut through all of the confusing "sales pitches" to give you an honest, no-nonsense, pitch-free examination of the entire Oreck product line, starting with the 8lb Vacuums, to help you choose the right vacuum cleaner for your needs...and more importantly, to help you avoid the products that either won't meet your needs or don't live up to what they'll tell you online or in a local store.

Before we begin, I would like to make two things clear: 1) I no longer work for the Oreck Corporation, so I have nothing to gain by trying to convince you to buy the most expensive vacuum; and 2) I have no ill will towards David Oreck or the his corporation. I have met Mr. Oreck, his wife and his brother. They are all very classy and respectful people. I wish them and their company only the best. I simply want to dispel the myths and tell the truth about the Oreck Vacuums and eventually the entire product line.

If you have any question, feel free to post them in the comment section below and I will do my best to answer them in a timely manner.
