It is light, the head is small,it fits around furniture, ok on bare floors

Does not clean, bag leaks into zipper bag, smells bad, over priced.

This is a great product!

 

I researched vacuum cleaners for a while before I decided on the Oreck XL Ultra. I couldn't be more pleased with it!The feature that sold me most was it's incredible portability. At just 8 pounds I can carry it all around the house with ease. When I ...

Super lightweight ; cleans superbly ; adjusts automatically to various surface heights

Light is too dim when in 'floor' setting

Oreck Fan Housing breaks

 

The vacuum is lightweight and works sufficiently.

Both vacuums I own had plastic parts break and proceed to blow dust.
