The Oreck Commercial U2000RB2L-1 2-Speed Upright Vacuum Cleaner with Endurolife Belt is a commercial grade vacuum that offers all the power and performance you expect from an Oreck. This versatile upright makes it easy to keep your business clean. It gets up close to cabinets and baseboards and fits easily under most furniture, clothes racks, chairs and desks. It can be used on all surfaces including carpet, wood, laminate and tile with no manual height adjustment. Weighing about 9 pounds, it’s lightweight and covers a 12 inch wide area which makes cleaning easy and quick. It includes Hall Effect Sensor Technology that shuts down the brushroll to protect the motor from unexpected jams. It also has the exclusive Microsweep feature that allows you to switch from carpet to bare floors with no adjustments and a 630 cubic inch “top fill” bag. The 40-foot power cord is connected to the pigtail cord using a cord clamp, allowing you to easily replace a damaged cord without expensive repairs or re-wiring. This model comes with a 1-year commercial warranty as well as a 1-year warranty on the belt.

Excellent product
The vacuum was as described. Was a great price and works great. Cord is long enough to get from room to room and does not get tangled up. Powerful suction, good maneuverability, light weight and easy to use.

Stopped working after 11 months, but it was repaired and I still like it.
I bought my first Oreck over thirty years ago, and it was still my favorite vacuum. We bought a Dyson (falling apart now, and way too heavy) about 10 years ago and a Miele Blue Moon (died, the electronics were too sensitive) about 15 years ago, but I still liked the Oreck best. I finally felt it was time for a new Oreck. This one is working out great for me. It’s very light weight and easy to push. I love the long cord. I can vacuum the whole downstairs without having to change the plug location. I have mostly tile downstairs and it picks up all the dirt and dog hair. When I switch to the carpeted areas, I just increase the power with the power switch. My carpets are all low pile and the Oreck commercial has high suction and cleans them well. It’s so light weight, I can even vacuum the stairs when I’m to lazy to get out the canister vacuum. The low profile makes it easy to vacuum under furniture. Be careful, because the suction is so strong, it will pick up area rugs and computer cords. Also, it is very loud especially on the higher power setting. I just hope it lasts half as long as my last one did!

Works good for me but a few things to be aware of…
Overall I am very satisfied with the U2000RB2L-1 vacuum at the 2 month of ownership mark, and I would buy it again, however there are a few items to point out.1). This vacuum is listed as LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) compliant however the requirement that the noise level be 70db or less is only met when used in the low speed mode, which is not pointed out in the description. When used in high speed it is no less quiet than any other typical Oreck XL and has a somewhat high-pitched noise.2). The Amazon photos show that the vacuum has a pocket on the back side of the bag and says “X-tended Life” at the bottom of the bag. Neither of these items are currently present on this vacuum.3). The cord is essentially a rugged orange extension cord but I measured it at 35 feet long, not 40 as stated in the description. I’m not sure if a 40 foot cord would even fit when wrapped on the vacuum’s cord storage hooks, or rather one quick release hook and the carry handle that is used as the lower cord wrap. A cord keeper/retainer to prevent the cord from coming unplugged from the vacuum’s pigtail cord is included however it forces the cord into a sharp bend at each end of the keeper that could potentially cause internal cord issues down the road. I don’t use the keeper and have not had any problems with the cord becoming detached.4). The listing (at the time of this review) states that a spare belt is included, however no spare is provided. This model, along with the U2000RB1, uses the “Endurolife” belt which is different from the other Orecks and should last longer than the standard belt. The brush roller is also different as it has a magnet in it and a sensor detects if the brush is turning. If not then there is a jam and the unit will shut down to prevent belt damage. If a regular XL brush (without the magnet) is used as a replacement then the vacuum will keep turning off because it will not sense that the brush is turning and assume it is jammed. The key takeaway here is to be sure to order the correct replacement belt and roller/brush if needed.5). The 2 speed feature is nice and low speed works well on bath mats, throw rugs, bare floors, or where quiet is called for and high speed might be too much. Oreck calls high speed “boost mode for extra power” but from what I can tell it is just the normal speed on a single speed Oreck XL.6). The light weight is great and on thicker pile carpet it takes slightly more effort to push but nothing I would describe as excessive. The side of the housing where the belt is located has a couple of inches where there is no cleaning since the base plate is partly enclosed and edge cleaning on that side is limited (typical on most vacuums). Vacuuming performance has been fine as far as I can tell. Any dirt I can see seems to be gone with just one pass, the bag is gradually filling up, and the carpet has that groomed look to it after going over it.7). When in the upright position the vacuum cannot be tilted back and rolled like most uprights since the back wheels are not all the way at the back. It must be picked up and carried or the base housing must be pressed to the floor so the vacuum is no longer in the upright position and it can then be rolled. Not a big deal thanks to the light weight. There is a rubber bumper that goes around the housing and if you just tilt it back the unit will be resting on the bumper with the wheels off the floor.8). One green bag is included and it is big compared to most uprights I’ve looked at. This model uses the bags without the bag dock (PK800025DW or PK80009DW) and the green bags are much better than the cheaper blue ones in reviews I’ve read. I am not sure if any of the Oreck purple (HEPA) bags are compatible with this model. The bag dock can apparently be purchased separately and added per some online comments, and different bags would then be needed.9). The owner’s manual has very small print, as in a full page is printed on half a page. The date code on the vacuum I received shows it was built 2 1/2 months before I got it so it was not sitting around for long. The label says it is a “Type 3” which means “Improved deflector and removed collar set screw.”10). The only assembly needed is to insert the top part of the handle into the bottom part and tighten two screws. Use caution and have a good fitting screwdriver since some reviews have said the screws did not go in easily and can get stripped. Since the screws go into an aluminum handle you want to make sure they go in straight and are not overtightened. For me it was worth it to pay the premium over the base model since I wanted to minimize the need to change belts and I wanted the 2 speeds. The only added feature I would have liked would be a headlight.

Love it
The bag is huge and rarely needs to be changed. Amazing for dog hair and dust. My shark vacuum needs to be emptied after doing 1 room. I’ve done 4 rooms and a hallway 3 times and I still haven’t had the chance the bag. Great power, as well.

Best basic vac ever
Works flawlessly on most surfaces and so lightweight. Bag holds so much, you wonât be changing it often. Cord length is also a plus for less fuss of unplugging/replugging. I wish I would have bought this a long time ago. I probably would have prevented a wrist injury!

Do not buy this vacuum if you have…..
Do not buy this vacuum if you have: people that live in your house, wear shoes, go outside, have pets, move around, open windows, or live in an area where there is nature. This vacuum is horrible. It just pushes the dirt around in front of it and/or blows it out behind it. I’ve had this vacuum for 5 months now and I vacuum a LOT, infact I vacuum daily which is why I bought this brand. Since Orek is a well known commercial brand I thought it would hold up to regular use on a variety of surfaces as advertised. This review is an update to my initial review which is still below. Fact is, I tried to like this vacuum and then I tried to just get used to it and deal with it, but I can’t and I am going to replace it. Everything about it is awful….super stiff cord that does not move and is not easy to work around. It weighs more than the vacuum which tips over all the time if you walk away from it, it is horribly loud and not just decible wise, it is high pitched, it doesn’t track straight, it is hard to manuver, it doesn’t have rear wheels so you will have to carry it everywhere, no front handle, so forget doing stairs. It is awful on carpets or any kind (I have them all) and horrible on wood or other smooth floors. You will save money on bags……because it doesn’t pick up anything it will take a while for the bags to fill up. This vacuum is utter garbage. Original Review: This vacuum is not as good as my Hoover Platinum, which unfortuantely they don’t make anymore and I’ve run out of spare parts. On the Orick, the cord is a good length (same as the Hoover) but this cord is heavier than the vacuum and so stiff. If you move the cord, and you aren’t holding onto the vacuum, it will fall/flip. The stiff cord is a pain to handle as you move throught the house. This vacuum is not good on standard carpets and it is only ‘okay’ on bare flooring (wood or LVT). It is great at vacumming my bed, which I use the low setting for. I have little dog that sleeps on the bed, so my comforter gets vacuumed every day. This is actually the only thing that the low setting is good for. The overall suction is pretty poor…it wont suck up dirt from shoes or popcorn kernals on my kitchen floor (it’s weird, I know, but was no issue for the Hoover). Also, this vacuum doesn’t track/roll straight. The wheeles do not track straight and that makes it hard to manuver. The only thing about this vacuum that is nice is that it is light weight…..but then you have to deal with the cord that outweighs it. I’ve had this vacuum and use it daily for about three to four months now and unfortunately I’m stuck with it….but I do hate it. Unfortunately, bagged uprights without all the attachements are getting very hard to find. (Damn you, Hoover! Bring back the Platinum!!!) FYI-I’m vacuuming a two story house of approximately 2000 sq ft and have a husband who never takes his boots off, grand kids and two dogs.

IT’s the best hand down. Using it for commercial or residential you can’t be Oreck. Great warranty and customer service.
