Back when Panasonic and Sanitaire vacuums were like a huge seller in vacuum stores. If vacuum stores had store brought brands, even they were still good quality. I can tell this vacuum store actually cares about their customers. It sucks now that all of the good brands have gone to Chinese made now. I don’t think vacuum stores like dealing with crappy Walmart machines. At least some vacuum stores can sell you a refurbished classic vacuum for a good deal.
I have low-pile carpets. Have an 18-year old oreck and it has never let me down. I’ve run other vacuums over it, but they all get barely pick stuff up- if any. 3 orecks and a Dyson v11. I’ve bever been happier
Actually beater bars are really useless to have. They do very little or nothing to clean carpets better. In fact beater bars do a horrible job on pet hair. I've noticed a difference between a vibra groomer i and vibra groomer ii brushroll. You don't need beater bars to have more agitation.
Panasonic made Sears vacuum cleaners for decades and they were excellent machines. You could buy them for 200-400 dollars. They were about as good as the riccar vaccums. Now Panasonic doesn't make vacuums anymore and Sears is gone. These same vacuum cleaners are 1000-1500 dollars. You never know what you had til it's gone
I rlly dont care for the Panasonic Vaccum. I rather go with the Oreck Because it doesnt have a Filter and it has a Bigger Bag And for my Opinion it has better suction
That is false, Oreck has much weaker suction cause it's a direct air vacuum. Also the outer bag is a filter which you do need to have. Not everything can be trapped in the paper bag.
Not to mention there are some Orecks that were and some still today that are made overseas (Also not to mention that Oreck is currently owned by a Chinese company). Guess I would call a Chinese Oreck an American vacuum still?
the cheaper orecks usually arent that great overall, such as the oreck XL series, not all that great compared to many other vacuums on the market, so it would have been better to test something like a riccar.
That is a far more expensive unit. I am not denying that the Riccar tandem-air machines are neat and all, but it is not too comparable to the basic Panasonic models in this video which were well under half the price of such a Riccar. On top of that, I have always enjoyed how light the basic Panasonic models are on top of having decent cleaning performance and long lifespans.
Oreck is the only vacuum I've ever owned that picks up long pet hair without the brush getting clogged. One swipe over the carpet and all pet hair is gone and up in the bag. I LOVE my Oreck and have had it for 10 years and it still works as good as it did when I first bought it. Very lightweight as well.
It's not less expensive the newest version of that Oreck which is the Oreck Elevate Control can be purchased brand new for $199.99. Oreck vacuums are not super expensive like they use to be. However the Panasonic probably cleans better. But is for sure heavier.
Why do they keep saying suction. I don't like it when people think that suction cleans the carpet its air flow. Air flow clean carpet and so does agitation. Those two thing have been around since vacuums were first made. That sanitaire can out clean both the oreck and Panasonic and it only 100 dollars. Way less then both of the other vacuum. Sanitaire,Kirby,Royal,Riccar are the best vacuum out their
This comparison is unbalanced. Oreck still makes the Classic style vac they use, but my XL21 Oreck feels self-propelled, has HEPA filtration and weighs 30-40% less than the Panasonic! Also, it has a 21 year warranty with 21 free annual services worth over $1000. Panasonic is a good machine, but don't compare their top vac to Oreck's lower-mid level machine.
This is actualy a base model Panasonic. Also, I highly doubt you have spent the last 9 years studying vacuums. How much do you even know about vacuums and the industry?
Point taken on the Pana being a base model and I acknowledge it's a fine machine. But, it doesn't change my initial comment about my Oreck's 21-year warranty & service plus being extremely lightweight. Your vac appears to weigh 16-20 lbs, have a 2-year warranty (5 motor) and one speed switch. Many people will find it perfect for their needs, but others may want/need something lighter and appreciate other features that make Oreck unique. I can't claim your experience in the vacuum field, but I have some experience and know that one size still doesn't fit all. And, I've never met a salesman who doesn't believe their product is the best. No one can fault you for that!
Oreck Fredricksburg, you have a point - for some people, the lightweight Oreck style vacuums are better for their needs. BUT, unfortunately for Oreck, there are MANY brands out there now with 8 lb vacuums that are better, & in the same price range Oreck models sell for. The Riccar & Simplicity 8 lb uprights, in particular, put any Oreck to shame & make them look like a joke, they are THAT superior in comparison.
filter queen isn't a terrible machine it does work as advertised but it has so many different filters to keep up and change every so often and dumping it like a shop vac outside or in the garage? no thanks...
It's FUNNY they didn't mention ANYTHING about warranty. If you are looking for a vacuum the ORECK MAGNESIUM RS is THE BEST!!! 7 year warrenty and 10 years of free tune up service!!
THis is crap. If you notice. The bag on the Oreck never inflates. They do not have the Oreck working properly. They might not even have a bag in the vacuum. What a crock.
Very true, Jedi725. But, the Sanitaire & Royal are more comparable to the Panasonic/Kenmore uprights, as the Kirby's are much heavier & pre-1990 models are harder to push. Plus the Royal doesn't need a self-propelled transmission to break, & no head to remove just to use the hose & tools.
You are correct about the other makes being Panasonic copies, EXCEPT for the Hoover's. Panasonic actually bought the rights for the design of the Hoover Dial-A-Matic, & improved it substantially.
I don't have the Easy Vac anymore, I got the Bissell Momentum. I was rather going to get the Oreck fixed or buy a good quality vacuum. I chose to buy the good quality vacuum and it picks up a lot better than just about every vacuum I've ever used, except for my aunt's Bissell Lift Off. I want to get the Lift Off if I get married and use it downstairs.
My neighbor has an oreck. Its a white canister model. She bought it 3 yrs ago. Funny we were just talking about it yesterday while I replaced her wiper blades on her car. Its been sitting on her car port for over 2 months. It took a shit and she was so glad because it wouldnt pick up anything. Said it was never worth having. "Got screwed on it" were her words. She's the second oreck owner I knew thats said this...There junk!
Take your vac to a shop who owns a vacuum suck tester. Make sure you watch the test. Be prepaired to be very pissed off. Dyson has done a fantastic job of advertising. Dysons have short life spans too. Everyone I know that bought a dyson in the last 8 yrs has replaced it with something new. Mean while our panasonic has never seen a shop once. The Premium levels last decades.
