Oreck vacuums are pretty decent for their price yes, but sadly they are far from the best on the market. This of course doesn't mean that the other comapnies' models are technological miracles, but there are many vacuums currently on the market that can do a better job, such as the latest Dyson models. For example the latest Dyson Animal, has incredible suction power for it's relative quietness and great mobility combined with it's relative lightness, making it a great choice for most people. When you add in the fact that it's designed with your pets in mind, and you have a top-tier upright vacuum cleaner for pet owners.
