Review on ๐Ÿงน VFBU58260005 Oreck Upright Vacuum with Advanced Filters by Jeff Drollinger

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Replaced the outer bag of my Oreck XL-2 in 12 minutes

It is slightly smaller than the Oreck XL-2 outer bag that came with the vacuum and has no internal frame but a very suitable replacement which is well constructed and fits correctly in the holders and contains the correct size filter/inner bag. I gave it five stars because it is a one stop replacement for this range of Oreck vacuums - if you are the person who owns it I would recommend Oreck or a hotel/facility manager who has one of dozens of allows them to be used as an inexpensive substitute for branded outer bags. A hard plastic card is sewn around the mounting hole to allow the bag to be properly attached to the vacuum cleaner. and holes are pre-punched at the bottom of the pouch where it enters the attachment clip. Seams are neatly finished with flat black piping and it has an additional filter bag pocket on the back - just like the original bag. The process of removing the old outer bag and replacing it with this one took about 12 minutes. - I completed the process in my living room over a newspaper to collect dust and the only tool I needed was a flat head screwdriver (a narrow butter knife or small wrench would work too) to pry open the clip underneath . Replace the old outer back cover with a new one. Instructions aren't included, but once you've removed the mounting hole and clip from your old outer bag, everything becomes second nature.

Pros
  • Vacuum Bag
Cons
  • No Power
