Nothing fancy here. This is an Oreck upright vacuum cleaner that is built to last. We have an Oreck piano that still works after 15 years. Use an old one in a guest house after the whimsical Dirty Devil died and needed another for the main house. It works great on our varnished concrete floors and carpets. Easy to maneuver and easy to carry. Fits easily in, under and around furniture. Almost moves forward with the action of the roller brush. Nice long cord and very powerful - effortlessly picks up dirt, dog and cat hair and even big babies. Get the best tool you can afford and for an upright vacuum that's the Oreck. Highly recommended for fancier brands that are 2-3 times more expensive than Oreck.
