Review on ๐Ÿงน Optimized Oreck XL Upright Brush Roller by Rob Overturf

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Requires a Torx screwdriver or bit for installation - cumbersome

This replacement roller brush for certain Oreck XL posts is a good thing in itself. And Revain sells it for a bargain next to your local vacuum store, so they're probably going out of business soon. However, you need a Torx, Hex Torx screwdriver for this. I am 77.7 years old and I never knew such an animal existed. Torx screwdrivers seem to only be sold in sets, which means I have to drive my neighbor to the local hardware store, play the 'old man' card and hope they open the vacuum for me. Not much for them unless they sell me ONE torx screwdriver the size I need. Orecki bugs me but now I have 2 of their vacuums and as they say "for a penny, for a pound". When the temp drops back down to 70 I'll do that job and finally work with vacuum again.

Pros
  • Handy part
Cons
  • So far so good
