Oreck

Some time back I replaced my Electrolux vacuum cleaner because it was
getting a bit too heavy for me. After much debate I bought an Oreck XL7.

I had used an Oreck before at my aunt's house in Easgate (Nottingham)
and had been impressed with it's performance and light weight. That was
an earlier model. What a disappointment this machine has been. It's much
heavier than the earlier model and it's fitted with a heavy duty rubber
mains cable which has a mind of its own and constantly gets in the way -
it's not supple at all. To adjust the clearance from carpet to bare

It must still be under guarantee - why not complain or ask for the
earlier model and explain why!

floors you have to turn it upside down remove the brush roller relocate
a piece of wood and re-assemble the thing.

This is a cleaner that is sold as being particularly easy for the
elderly and disabled to use! If that's not misrepresentation I don't
know what is.

Didn't June Whitfield advertise those ? BTW can't you return it under the
SOGA ?

I will replace it as soon as the second mortgage I had to take out to
buy it is paid off!
