I had one of the old original Electrolux vacuums for years, but now I have an Oreck. It is light as a feather and easy to push. It felt like a toy and I wasn't sure it really picked up, but it DOES!!! A great job. People order Orecks off of TV all the time to get the free gift for trying it. Many times they return the vacuum and keep the gift. Oreck can't sell the vacuum as brand new even though it practically is. They cut the price to half price.

If you have an Oreck store near you, this is the way I got mine. I love my vacuum.
