I bought this as an alternative to hand-held vacs like the Dirt Devil Scorpion and other corded, hand-held vacs. I use this type of vac to vacuum dust from furniture. I bought a second-generation Dirt Devil for half the cost of the Oreck and immediately regretted it. Among other things, the tab on the turbo brush broke off within the first month, rendering it nearly unusable.
Contrast with the Oreck: the noise is on par for a vac of this type. The Oreck remains cool (I wear it cross-body) while I'm vacuuming for extended periods. The tool carry port remains convenient yet doesn't get in my way. The cord is super long. The attachments are great. The dusting attachment makes a good seal and takes the dust away. This machine is worth every penny.
I do have a wish list of improvements: a longer flexible hose; taller cord nodes to wrap the cord around; and a turbo-type attachment for upholstery.
I love this vacuum. Thanks Oreck for making a quality product. I would love to hear if you sell a longer flexible hose.
