FINALLY and THANK GOODNESS!! I am breathing a HUGE sigh of relief after purchasing this vacuum. We are the proud parents of a gorgeous--but extremely furry-- golden retriever. I went through two or three cheap vacuums (they just couldn't keep up with the dog hair) before I finally bought an Oreck based on a recommendation from another golden-owner. I can't believe they charge $350 for one of those things! It just NEVER did the job right. It didn't even have a pile-height adjuster! I absolutely HATED vacuuming and had to turn the Oreck over every few minutes to cut all the hair out of the brush (not to mention how many times I had to replace the belt and brush because it melted under the strain). I hemmed and hawed over purchasing a new vacuum but felt I couldn't justify spending the money--I supposedly had the best vacuum on the market so surely, no other vacuum would work and I would forever battle dog hair. I started researching vacuums this fall and this one really caught my eye but I was worried about the price being representative of performance. I waited and waited, reading all the new reviews as they were posted onto this site (and others). Finally, I took my tax return and purchased the vacuum. Even as I paid for my purchase and left the store, I was still worried it was too good to be true (just like my Oreck).
I CANNOT recommend this vacuum enough. It's incredible how much dirt and dog hair it sucks up! I can't believe how much dirt and fur the Oreck was leaving behind. My husband put it together and then followed me around in awe while I vacuumed. We were both absolutely AMAZED. I think this vacuum picked up more dirt and fur in it's first use than the Oreck did over the four years I suffered with it. My husband's favorite part was that it revived the carpet and you could actually see that I had vacuumed. Our bedroom, which has extremely low-pile carpet, bested the Oreck every time, so much so that I just plain stopped vacuuming in there. This vacuum picked up every trace of dog hair! It's also very easy to clean the vacuum itself--which I needed to do after it's first use picking up everything the Oreck left behind. I wish I had taken pictures of the before-and-afters, and all the debris that ended up in the garbage can! Is it possible to love a vacuum too much?
I went ahead and purchased the $20 4-year performance plan through Best Buy, just in case it IS too good to be true. But even if it is, the few times I've used it have been worth it! We talk about getting another dog, but everytime I vacuumed, I wondered if I could deal with it. Now, it's safe to say we will be adding another canine member to our family very soon!
As for the Oreck? It's going in the garage sale this spring!

What's great about it: Absolutely picks up pet hair and dirt--you'll be amazed and grossed out at the same time!
What's not so great: Might be a little bulky for some, brush doesn't have a shut-off option
I would recommend this to a friend!
