ORECK is a lightweight, 8 pounds. Not a full size. Tho Consumer Reports rates it against full size vacuums. And the DeLuxe and XL 21 ORECK-s have headlights unlike dysons. BTW, stick to the thread, dysons. Carmine D.
You said uprights. Oreck is an upright.
Headlights on a vacuum are like teats on a boar hog. Useless. Impossible to stick to topic when dealing with you. That is your way of saying that you have once again been proven wrong and want to twist out of the conversation. Golf is calling. See ya later.

HS: I said full size uprights. ORECK is not! I'm too young to play golf. Maybe when I get to be your age: Old. Better have that cup of joe before you go. You'll need it! The way you are fumbling and mumbling this morning. Coffee will help. Carmine D.

I alredy had the Joe.
This is what you said: "BTW, Consumer Reports is always critical of upright vacuums without manual rug height adjustments" That crow is sticking in your throad this AM. Better have a drink to wash it down

You could also add Riccar, Panasonic, Sharp and Aerus to the list of units without height adjustments. Pretty big names not following the "american standard".
Dusty Hello Dusty: Depends on how you define "big names." These brands typically are indy stores and not big box retailers. Do you know some big box store brands sold along side dyson that don't have [headlights] and/or manual rug height adjustments? Carmine D.

Do you know some big box store brands sold along side dyson that don't have [headlights] and/or manual rug height adjustments? Carmine D. Your original quote was that height adjustments were standard for ALL full size USA uprights. Now it matters where the product is sold? Shall we assume most high end indy product is poor because it lacks a height adjustment? For the record, last time I checked Panasonic was sold in box stores, Eureka have models with no height adjustment as do Kenmore. IMO the height adjust is useless for most people, the majority of machines that come in for repair are almost always set to the lowest setting. Dusty
