Vacuum Cleaners Discussions

Alright, simply put, which $800 upright would you prefer: the S7 Tango, or the Oreck Edge w/canister?

They just lowered the Tango to 549.00, with trade here at 499.00, this machine will out clean Oreck handily but far heavier, great long tool hose though

And now the non hepa no light Blue model at 449.00 is quite a bargain for a true high end machine, and the Tango will be a tough sell now with the price reduction of the others except for the bells and whistles lover

And the Sebo Felix would be a better comparison at 649.00 its a great vacuum with slider variable and seperate bare floor brush, swivel head and the ability to turn into a can vac

It can be a good vacuum but even as the owner of many Sebo uprights, doesn't the Oreck Edge have a bigger dust capacity? You don't have to use the separate floor brush on the Felix either as it has a brush roll stop button. It can't be put into a canister vac - only a large hand held as the body doesn't really sit level on its own.

I'm waiting to check out the S7, as the local dealer down here has delayed shipments over issues concerning defects in the rear wheels...is anyone aware of this supposed defect?

The Felix bag is very large and as you know oreck owners usually change bags well short of capacity due to weight, my 8 lb Riccar ay home gets changed once it becomes a 10 pound vac LOL, and a hand held can for me works better for all above ground cleaning.

Well maybe Oreck owners in the U.S do, Oreck bags in the UK are largely expensive because of the dollar rate and as such most owners use the bags as far as possible. I can't count the many times I've had to unclog an Oreck because of some owners. Sebo bags are 3.5 litre capacity, not so big and smaller than their X uprights at 5.5 litres

I do change ORECK and all vacuum bags more frequently than needed and always before the full line.  At 8 bags of ORECK CC per pack for $12, it's inexpensive for me to replace more often than required.
