I purchased two Oreck XL vacuums. I have a bad back and thought the lightweight vacuums would be a God send. They are lightweight and worked well for a brief time. My older vacuum is four years old and the motor is shot! I spent $300 EACH on these vacuums! The warranty is only 3 years! I have been married for 28 years and have had vacuums that cost 1/6 of this price that lasted decades without the motor going!!! DO NOT BUY AN ORECK THEY ARE GARBAGE!!! read full review »
