we have a ORECK XL for many year but it finally need to be replace in 2006 . we order a new one from the company but it disappointed and we move on to other brand , none of which perform to the original ORECK standard . we decide to take another chance on this commercial model and it be fabulous . whatever issue might have happen to quality in the past be over and this model perform superbly . it be like get a old friend back ! you can not beat the lightness and mobility of the ORECK XL . this commercial model come with a very long and very heavy duty cord that everyone will appreciate . Super easy assembly . some might be put off by the plastic handle and housing but remember these contribute to the beauty of its lightness and portability . we have no hesitation at all in recommend this . the price point can not be beat and the shipping be lightning fast in just two day . good job ORECK and Amazon !
