I bought this to replace an Orreck vacuum with a small bin. It's not an Orreck, it's of much lower quality and doesn't stand upright on the floor or stairs. The power cord is too short, the connection hose is too stiff and the tools are of poor quality. I use my Bissel compatible Orreck tools. I use it but it doesn't last 5 years like the old Oreck. The price was similar to Orrek and I expected the same quality. I use it but am not happy with it. There are a few design and material floors to work on. I like Bissel and am happy with my instruments but not with this one.
