Upright Vacuum Cleaners

Oreck manufactures many vacuum designs and models. For the upright design, there are really only four basic models to choose from. These models are the U2000, XLPRO14T, Pro 12 Series and Premier Series. The two basic models in this line are the U2000 and the XLPRO14T. The article below is a general overview of these models.

Oreck U2000 Series:

This is a light-weight design and is popular among housekeeping departments. One of the features of this model is the ability to operate the machine with the handle fully extended, allowing for greater reach in underneath areas. Also, the fan motor is made from a high-test material that can take a beating for loose change and other potentially damaging objects. This is a very reliable, very durable machine that is made to last.

Oreck XLPRO14T:

This is a larger machine with 1000 watt dual motor and on-board attachments. With all of the standard functions as the U2000, this is also an ideal tool for use in commercial applications. With an added 9 foot hose and attachment set, this is a great unit for those that require additional detail. Oreck also added bumpers that are scuff-resistant to avoid damaging walls and furniture. The drive belt and brush mechanisms are easily accessible for quick replacements.

Both of these Oreck vacuum cleaners are great basic models for commercial applications. Each uses standard Oreck parts and Oreck vacuum bags that can be obtained from their website or other authorized retailers.
