Oreck Catalogs

[bagintheback]

I have been receiving Oreck catalogs regularly since about 2004. I'd be happy to scan some for anyone who wants to see them. I know one is the introduction of the XL-21 and many of them a feature a yellow Oreck that has a built-in FM radio. Others show the DutchTech, Orbitor, some of their industrial vacs, and the previous generation of the Rinse-A-Matic. Fairly recent but still interesting. Just say the word and I'll be right on it!

I'll start with the oldest catalog now. This is one is from early 2004, right after I got my first Oreck. This is the cover

When I first found out about Orecks, this was the model I wanted. I wanted so much. I even remember giving my family a 'demonstration' of the model, even before I had one. I ended up getting a Classic instead.

Now you can see why I wanted the XL2. Who wants a basic vacuum held by an older maid? And I see Oreck beats Kenmore aswell........

My grandparents bought us three of these. They do the job, but I don't know how well. The bearings had to be replaced 3 times in each one. Thank goodness for Oreck's long warranty.

So should I dry clean or shampoo? They're giving me a mixed message. They price looks right though. $400 is not bad a good deep cleaner
