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).

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.

Oreck XL Shield Power Scrubber

Oreck XL shield power scrubber is (according to the manufacture Oreck) is the first of its kind which includes the scrubbing then applying rinsing and finishing the job with drying up. So all three in one type product. The price is high as usual but as the case with all their products such as air purifier, cleaners, etc the XL scrubber also comes with a 30 days money back guarantee. Interested, ok then let's talk more about some of the hardware and design features first.


*. This comes with a two years of comprehensive warranty period.

*. The wire cord is long (not the longest but pretty decent) 25ft or 7.6 meters.

*. Oreck recommends that this utility has the ability to remove 99.99% of mold dust and mite allergens, etc.

*. The cleaning nozzle or the head (1ft) section is really wide. And as a result you'll be able to cover a larger area while using thus reducing cleaning times. But the thickness might be a bit of a problems while trying to remove dust, etc under beds or tight corners for instance.

*. Unlike many other vacuum cleaner products the Oreck XL has noticeably bigger wheels which makes both pulling and pushing easier.

*. It has two separate tanks. One is being used for water and the other for storing dirty water. And remember this one uses chemicals (shampoo) to clean and remove stains, etc.

*. Apart from the longer wire the hose also very lengthy in comparison and is about 3.6 meters in length. So all together they give the user some decent amount of length. This also helps to clean stairs, upper sections of furniture, etc. 

*. It has few nozzle attachments such as an especial tool for using on subtle materials like on couch for instance.

*. It's not cleaner if it has HEPA filters but according to the manufacture it has the ability to filter allergic materials.

*. The weigh is 7.7 kg (roughly) and when considered all the powerful features it has they do deserve some praise.

So as mentioned this is a professional floor cleaner tool and the manufacture even guarantees professional level results. So if you have carpets and rugs with stains and dust which are harder to get rid of then this tool might come in handy for you (including dog, cat urine).

And among the especial features are the included three motors rather than the two (which seems to be the maximum amount in other products) and they work in different techniques delivering powerful and intelligent brush rotations. One thing that you have to be careful when using a steamer on carpets (one that use chemicals) is that if it leaves those shampoo on the carpets then as the time goes on it can damage the carpets (makes them decay easily). But with the XL Shield... because of the superior suctions it delivers this "effect" is kept at a minimal level. 

While storing it only takes about 1 sq. foot of space. So if you want to clean your floors professionally (especially carpets) and OK with the slightly higher (although pretty normal for a deep cleaner) and want superior suctions then you should not neglect the Oreck XL Shield power scrubber. A highly recommended product.
