I have a bagged Oreck, and I've been pretty happy with it, specifically the Graphite. This just looks like they're trying to appeal to unedcuated consumers who think bagless is better.

it does have the brushroll off safety feature just like the Magnesium does.
It is made in China but if sales go well they could build it here in the USA.

What I find utterly ridiculous with the design of this cleaner is the two loops on either side of the cleaning head. What is the purpose of those? If they didn't exist, the cleaning head would go under even more furniture. At least that's how it looks.

The
head is 2 inches high I say thats low enough and it gets under VERY low and tight spots ...

At the front, yes, but the sides are high which means the head surely can't go too far under?

<span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;">Does it have full sized tools or those pathetic "all-in-one" combination crevice/dusting tools?</span>

Hello Dan. If the sides are 3" and the front is 1.5", then I can only be right that the sides are higher than the front. Now, I realise that 3" is still an incredibly low size, but what I am meaning is that from the pictures those plastic loops on the side don't seem to do anything. So without them the cleaning head would be lower still.

It is still one of the lowest heads on a vacuum . Try to get a Dyson head or a Kirby head under a low object . They are part of the design and the head would look stupid with out them . It has won awards over its design so they are doing something right .

Oh we say that over here too. It is very true. I do like the comment that the cleaner would look stupid without the side loops. Every bagless cleaner looks hideous to me as it's so different from what I am used to.
Here is the press release at the IHA

I could never get over the sound. That thing is a screamer!
I wonder what kind of belt it has for the roller brush.

Well at least it HAS a hose built in. I rather like the look of it and it swivels too!
Is Oreck under new management?
Many of their recent products go directly against their well established philosophy of simplicity. Two bagless uprights(both with bypass motors), HEPA air purifiers, and foreign made, sometimes outsourced products. Selling uprights at Target must be hurting the dealers. What's going on?

BagInTheBack, Tom Oreck stepped down as the CEO of Oreck back in 2010. Doug Cahill replaced Tom in 2010.
It's a crying shame that Tom Oreck stepped down as the CEO of Oreck.

new basic vacuum questions for vac shoppers:
Cannister or upright, bag or bagless, swivel steering or regular? I have to say i have become rather fond of my Electrolux Nimble & the steering is a big part, that & the quiet operation. Now about those pesky, weak cheap plastic nibs waiting to break off when you disassemble the dirt cup for cleaning...
Hmmm don't know about the grayness of this Oreck though. Looking for a Pilot that needs some TLC to get my swivel on Oreck style....

I tried to get on with the Nimble in a shop I tried one in but it seems I couldn't get it to clean flat to the floor - that's where my Felix seems to do better in as well as just feeling a lot better made. The Nimble is very stylish though - I wish Hoover's UK/European neighbouring products were just as easy on the eye.

Oreck noise levels...
I don't think either vacuum in that video link is noisy - not if you have a Hoover Windtunnel Air or Vax Mach Air. A lot of bagless vacuums are these days but it doesn't sound too much of a "screamer" to me.
I like the idea of the Versa Vac. If Oreck can get that to the UK they'll probably have good product on their hands. I just fear that as usual with Oreck UK, we'll have to wait several years for these new products to arrive unless the U.S company get their finger out and do a worldwide launch.
