This Oreck vacuum is in excellent mechanical condition and runs as good as the day it was manufactured. Even though this vacuum ran perfect and did not need it, before we sell any Oreck Vacuum, we have our service department completely go through it and give it a 30-point inspection and service, replace any worn parts, and professionally clean it and wash the bag. Oreck vacuums are great because they have amazing brush cleaning ability and work great on carpets and on hard floor surfaces. They also are lightweight and are very easy to use.
