Oreck XL Pro Plus

Oreck xl pro plus is mainly an upright vacuum cleaner which contains two "types" of cleaners. They've designed it in a way that if you push a button the weight will be split up by half, thus converting it into a lightweight portable vacuum which when considering the usability is similar to the oreck car vac that I reviewed earlier. Anyhow they have always been controversial in designing these devices and has a way of their own doing things.

Below are the complete hardware details of this product...

*. The default weight is about 4 kg.

*. After the conversation is done the handheld vac weights about 2.2 kg.

*. But don't let the weight you into thinking that it lacks suctions which is not true. In fact according to the manufacture with the help of a technology called "direct suction" (more powerful and efficient suctions but still requires a smaller motor) it can produce an air suction which equals to 102 mph hurricane wind while using!

*. This is an especially built carpet cleaner.

*. The height is automatically adjusted according to the needs.

*. The turbo brush function makes it easier and safer while cleaning materials such as beds and furniture for instance.

*. As mentioned the motor is very powerful but still only uses about 1/3 of the power consumptions in comparison with the conventional motors.

*. An especial "sealing" mechanism is being used to make sure no dirt comes out of the nozzle when turning off the motor (which is a very common complaint).

*. The wire cord is really lengthy and is about 30 ft or 9.2 meters (roughly).

*. The HEPA filters has a filtering layers of total 8. The first 5 layers are being used in the outer section of the bag and the other three helps to block allergic dirt and other harmful things at 0.3 micron level.

*. The XL pro plus uses bags. And when you purchase this make sure to look for the following. 20 extra bags (12 for the handheld and 8 for the upright tool), shoulder strap, 42 inch hose for the handheld, crevice tool, fabric tool, wall brush, two extension wands, etc.


*. Comes with 2 Years of warranty and free tune up (in oreck customer care).

User Feedback Section

This is an excellent carpet & bare floor cleaner (wood, tiles, etc) that can be used to clean both dust and pet hair with impressive results. The handheld feature will come in handy when cleaning inside of the car (under seats, etc), couch, furniture and even your ceiling (may have to use a ladder but possible...) for instance.

Most of the time Oreck has some impressively quite vacs but not the XL though. Although not unbearable but still it is loud. This will perform better on rugs and carpets especially thanks to the powerful vacuum + brush roller. It uses bags and pretty easy to both empty and to insert. The power cord is pretty long which gives a larger circular area when cleaning.


So if you're looking for a vacuum that can be used both as an upright and a hand-held (well in a way.. I mean it is not a single product but two), pretty good carpet cleaning results and okay with the noise then the Oreck XL Pro Plus is a pretty good product.
