Review of the Oreck Vacuum Cleaner XL Platinum

The Oreck XL Vacuum Cleaner Platinum “power team” includes an Oreck upright and an Oreck canister vacuum. Together, they clean your entire home from top to bottom with ease.

Does the Oreck XL Vacuum Cleaner Extend the Life of Carpets?

This combination is said to help extend the life of your carpets. Additionally, the smaller, energy-efficient motor uses only one-third of the electricity of many other vacuum motors. Even with its compact size, it produces 127 mph of airflow and picks up dirt in almost one pass and direct suction design, dirt moves straight into the bag, which works more efficiently than many canister designs.

Oreck XL Vacuum Cleaner Weight and Cost

It weighs just 9 lbs. It is agile, fits under furniture, and moves smoothly across floors and self-adjusts as it shifts from carpet to hard flooring. Meanwhile, the canister vacuum weighs only 5 lbs, making it simple to lift, carry, and move from room to room. You can even take it outside to clean your car.

The Platinum Power Team sells for about $500–$600 and includes a 10-year warranty. When you buy directly from Oreck, you also receive 10 FREE annual tune-ups valued at $400.

Oreck XL Vacuum Cleaner Platinum Features

• Sound-dampening technology
• HEPA filtration
• Anti-microbial protection
• Two speed settings
• Saniseal® auto-sealing bag
• 10-year warranty
• Lightweight design

Lightweight and Portable

Both machines are extremely lightweight. The upright weighs 9 pounds and the canister 5 pounds and since they are so easy to handle, anyone can use and carry them, even on stairs and the canister and its attachments also make cleaning your car or garage easy.

HEPA Filtration

HEPA filtration traps 99.9% of dust and allergens down to 0.3 microns. Furthermore, the Saniseal® system seals the bag automatically, keeping dust contained. Changing bags becomes clean and simple. Since one Oreck bag holds as much as four bagless dust cups, you change bags far less often.

Two Speed Settings

This vacuum offers two speeds for extra suction in high-traffic areas and the control sits on the Helping Hand® Handle, which earned the Arthritis Foundation’s “Ease-Of-Use Commendation” for its ergonomic, strain-free design.

Attachments for the Oreck XL Vacuum Cleaner

Accessories include eight attachments for ceiling-to-floor cleaning: a crevice tool, a dusting tool, and more. Because it is lightweight, you can carry it anywhere, including the garage for car cleaning.

Oreck XL Vacuum Cleaner Platinum Recommendations

People with arthritis or other physical limitations choose this vacuum because it is light, maneuverable, and comfortable to hold. For example, one customer bought the “power team” for aging parents who wanted to stay independent. The vacuums helped them clean with far less pain in their hands and shoulders.

Reviewers Say It’s Lightweight

Many reviewers highlight its light weight and how easy it is to carry and one reviewer in a three-story home wrote:

“I do not want to buy 3 vacuums! I purchased the Oreck XL Power Team and was immediately impressed with its light weight. I find it easy to run up the stairs carrying either vacuum. They are both so light I love that I can sprint up the stairs after the kids’ mess. That was the biggest plus for me. It makes my life easier the way it sucks up all the messes my kids create. Thank you Oreck for making these vacuums so mom friendly!”

In addition, many others praise how well it transitions from bare floors to carpet without needing adjustments.

Another commonly mentioned benefit is the simplicity of changing the disposable bags. One reviewer noted:

“With other vacuums this has been a very difficult job if you do not line it up just right. Then it may not have the suction and dust gets all over but with this vacuum you get it on right every time.”
