Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.
Pros
- Unless youre willing to try an Oreck Xl upright, which is under budget and lighter than the kenmore. They are very easy to push and a favorite of older folks. And in general theyre pretty decent, reliable, simple, and repairable. Bigge...
- If they want something even lighter, a basic oreck XL is a decent and cost effective choice. The vac itself is very lite, easy to push, large bags etc.
- Oreck xl is nice and light. Very basic.
- Reviews say it is good for low- and mid-pile carpet, but not bare floors because the brushroller scatters debris.
- Get an cheap ol Oreck XL or Sanitaire Commercial - cheap and parts are stupid easy to replace.
Cons
- The XL is much chinzier (more plastic) than our previous oreck whose handle completely broke so we got rid of it and got the XL - were told by vacuum store it was no longer serviceable
- Our old upright oreck XL has pooped the bed... With the old oreck I could lock it in the upright position and literally vacuum the steps back and forth and front to back.
- My oreck XL recently died. Took it for service and the interior parts and inside of the chord had melted.

These two vacuums are for cleaning carpets only but they’re under budget and would do well. [Oreck XL]
