Review on ๐Ÿงน VFBU58260005 Oreck Upright Vacuum with Advanced Filters by Jeremy Meza

Revainrating 5 out of 5

My 2001 Oreck XL works again and looks like new!

About a year ago I bought an Oreck XL replacement roller and installed it on my 2001 rack. While my vacuum ran like new because the motor was still running great, my unit looked like junk because the outer bag was shredded on the sides. This item made the vacuum cleaner look and work like new again. It took me 25 minutes from the "get a vacuum and find a youtube video" step to completion, including cleaning the entire unit with a paper towel and Windex. You need to remove 2 pieces of bag holder from the old bag. The new one has a rectangular plastic back. Search YouTube for "Removing the outer bag from an Oreck vacuum" and follow the simple instructions in video 3:12. The only thing she doesn't explain is how to remove the rectangular plastic clip at the bottom of an old bag. There are literally six clips - I pulled them apart by hand - and the pins on the clips match the holes in the bottom of the bag. If you need a new outer bag for your Oreck I recommend this item (as well as replacement wheels which are $12.36 at Revain today).
