anyone consider a ORECK XL should be treat to the experience when the paper bag let loose inside and dirt fill the cloth bag . this happen from time to time despite carefully insert the paper bag . you need instruction from ORECK and a strong grip to remove the bag . do this outside ! then you need to wash the bag in you laundry sink at least two time with plenty of rinse until the water run clear . then you need to blot and air dry the bag . a lovely sight hang from the shower rail , all this before you reinsert the next bag . my husband refuse do this routine and buy a Dyson for upstairs leave I with the ORECK for downstairs . yes , it be light and have last , but high maintenance .
