Oreck XL Housekeeper compact canister

I got one at yesterdays auction /w/ all the parts and two packs of bags. The condition is "good as new". I am surprised at how much power this thing has for checking in as a feather weight. Any thoughts on these? I got it for less than 20$ so I don't feel I got skunked there.

I like them.

They're very convenient. It's also one of the smallest machines I've got with blower functionality, which makes it a go to when i'm working on other vacuums.
I've had a few 4 amp models, a 5.5 amp model and one of the ultimate models.
I didn't really like the 5.5 amp model while it had some improvements like an after filter and a longer hose that locked into the inlet I found the sound it produces really annoying.

I wasn't too impressed by mine. You'd be better off just using a corded handheld vacuum.

Mine is a corded model with a pretty long cord. It does have the locking hose. I was expecting it to be little more than a toy, but it's proven to be useful.
