I have had this product for 5 months. The belt broke and when I went to take the bottom off, three of the five screws were stripped and I am unable to change the belt. When I contact ORECK customer service during their business hours of 9am – 5pm, I get a message stating they are closed. No one will respond to me on the online chat feature as well. I have a vacuum cleaner that I can’t use, it stopped working 5 months after use and now I can’t change the belt because the hex screws are stripped which was delivered to me that way because this is the first attempt at removing the bottom to change the belt.

INCORRECT VOLTAGE FOR UK USE

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.

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

I have two dogs who shed a LOT. I’ve run through vacuum after vacuum, inexpensive to very expensive, and finally decided to try the old school vacuums and OH MY GOD. I’m actually upset that Dyson even exists knowing Oreck is still out there doing God’s work.

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.

This vacuum is incredible. It works a million times better than the Dyson I spent my savings on. It’s a little loud BUT it’s easy to use, the cord is super long, it’s maneuverable and light to carry. I love that you can add a scent tab, it smells so fresh and clean. The bag is easy to put in and take out. I keep an extra bag in the back pocket in case I need it as I’m working. It has serious power and it’s cute and red! ❤️

I purchased this because it is an Oreck. We were given an older model and I was impressed. That vacuum was too heavy for me to push, although it did an excellent job. I shopped for a light weight Oreck that was easier to push. I am a petite senior with arthritis so I needed something to fit my ability to use. This Oreck is light weight and I can manage it without any difficulty. Wow! I can push this across the floors without having to take a break to catch my breath. Why didn’t I find this sooner! I am one happy customer.

It is an exceptional vacuum – lightweight, excellent suction and transitions from hardwood floor to rugs seamlessly. For the price, it is well worth the $$ and beats some of the very expensive and very heavy competitors (Sebo). It is outstanding if you own furry pets – it does a great job picking up the fluff sent all over the 1st floor by our German Shepherds (“Shedders”).
It could be even better if they designed a model w/attachments.

I bought this model to replace another Oreck that was almost 17 years old. I understand that the company was sold a while back so I’m not surprised that some changes have been made. The vacuum automatically adjusts from a hard surface to carpeting without a switch needing to be used. The vacuum lacks an LED light that was a nice feature on the old machine. (It’s always helpful to see what’s on the floor as you vacuum). The suction is very good, I noticed an immediate improvement in the overall cleanliness of the floors throughout the house. Because of the incredible noise produced by the motor, I find myself using ear plugs when I vacuum for extended periods. It seems reducing the noise level is the most pressing design need for future models.

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

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.
