Consumer Feedback: Read Amazon Consumer Reviews on the Oreck XL Little Hero Vacuum
Who Would Buy This: Those shopping for a compact, lightweight canister vacuum for the home. The power and tools makes it ideal for pet owners.
Pros:
One of the most prized features of the Oreck Little Hero Vacuum is its lightweight, compact design. With its dimensions of 17" x 14" x 13.5" (L x W x H) and a weight of just 7 pounds, you can take it from room to room easily using the large carrying handle. The two permanent rear wheels allow you to roll the unit for easy portability as you clean around the room.
The 15 ft cord provides a good cable length so you can clean medium sized rooms without changing outlets. Cord-wrap storage on the unit features an auto cord re-winder which provides convenient and tidy storage for the cord.
The vacuums dust container has a 2.4 quart capacity, plus a washable exhaust filter to keep the suction level high for optimum cleaning performance. The dust container is transparent so you can see if you sucked up something which you didn’t want to.
A good set of attachments are included which allow you to take on different cleaning tasks. It comes with a 6 foot long hose with two extension wands, a floor tool and two-way crevice tool.
Cons:
The power cord is quite short, so larger rooms will require use of an extension lead. Additionally, some consumers have had problems with the retractable cord becoming jammed.
Due to the lightweight of the vacuum, it sometimes has a tendency to tip over so you need to be careful how you roll it.
The attachments sometimes fall off when in use so we feel they could have been designed better to have a firmer fit.
It is loud in operation.
Guarantee: 1-year limited warranty.
Summary
The Oreck XL Little Hero Vacuum like most budget vacuum cleaners has a mixture of feedback from consumers, but overall it is mostly positive. It has a nice long hose, rolls well and is easy to maintain due to its bagless design. The suction power is adequate, but it performs much better on hard floor surfaces than carpets.
Those who live in a small apartment or need a lightweight vacuum for small cleaning tasks on hard floors or in the car should find the Little Hero to be a fine choice.
