Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This is a no frills cleaner and is light weight to lift but don't let that fool you this thing is an animal of a beast on cleaning. It lifts the pile of the carpet and deep cleans better than any other vacuum I have ever used. After I used it four times the bag was about 1/2 full so I decided to put on a new bag. And that is where my problem started. When I bought this vacuum I also bought a pack of 25 extra bags. And not knowing that all oreck bags were not the same. The ones I ordered were blue and was labeled that they would fit my commercial vacuum. However the bag that came with the vacuum was light green when I changed it with one of the blue ones I instantly lost 1/2 of it's suction. I thought some thing had clogged the system after I checked every thing for a restriction and found nothing. That's when I dug deeper into the part number of the original green bag. What I found it was hypo allergenic and they sell them on Amazon For a pack of 25 their part number is PK800025DW.... (wright this number down!!!) Make sure they have DW on the end of their part number and they are light green!!! So I ordered a pack of them after I installed one of them the suction returned like it was when it was new. I will be returning those blue bags. Amazon should state what bags that work best with the vacuums instead of offering a discount on a pile of bags that doesn't work.... So save a headache and get the right bags to start with. Also I checked on the net and found several sites that sell any part you will ever need to keep your oreck vacuum repaired. This is a big plus if you are thinking of buying them to use in the lodging business or other commercial use.
