    Oreck Platinum Pilot with 360° Glide Review

    By 1,668 Comments

    Oreck XL platinum Pilot with 360 degree Glide

    Oreck Platinum Pilot Vacuum helps create a cleaner, healthier home, brings new level of maneuverability with light weight, as well as effective dirt pick-up, allergen filtration and bacteria control.

    To make cleaning more effective, faster and easier, Oreck Platinum Pilot engineered with 360° Glide so vacuum tilts, twists, turns, moves easily to go everywhere dirt goes.

    Unique ball-joint and pivot connection lets you guide vacuum where needed, to corner sofas and tables, move in and out of small spaces,  turn on a dime so cleaning is one smooth, continuous motion.

    Vacuum lays flat, maneuvers while flat.

    For less stress and faster work, it’s just 10 lbs., little more than a gallon of milk, can practically be pushed with a finger.  What good is maneuverability if vacuum is still heavier to push?

    Powerful, pile-lifting roller brush moves through carpet more easily, pulls out deeply embedded dirt, dust, allergens, dander,  pet hair.

    Brush grooms the nap as it cleans to help maintain expensive carpeting.

    For allergen control, HEPA filtration system traps up to 99.9 percent of dust and allergens down to 0.3 microns.

    Self-sealing, no-mess vacuum bag locks in dirt, dust and allergens, unlike dust cups in bagless vacuums that can leak particles back into the air when emptied.

    Oreck bags help eliminate pet odors, other stubborn smell.

    For bacteria and odor control,  anti-microbial agent built right into key points of  vacuum inhibits growth and reproduction of bacteria, mold and mildew in and on vacuum.

    Upright vacuum comes w/separate lightweight Ultimate Handheld vac for cleaning high, low, all over the house. ($250 Value!)

    10 FREE annual tune-ups (a $400 value!)

    10 year warranty

    MY THOUGHTS:

    Honestly when I think of Oreck I picture the commercials with the old man lifting the vacuum up.  My mom thinks of vacuums being sold door to door.  I cannot believe I mis-judged Oreck all these years.  The Oreck Pilot is awesome!  First off it is self-propelled, which basically means you turn it on and it goes!  There is no pushing or heavy weight holding you back, this vacuum glides right around the house with ease that even my skinny 3 year old can push it with no problem!  This would definitely be a big plus for elderly who don’t have the upper body strength to push around a big vacuum or just a mom who needs the extra strength to get through yet another day of vacuuming!  There is even a handle on the bag that you can use to hang the vacuum if you like since it is only 10 pounds.  (To put weight into perspective my other brand upright is 18 pounds and that is one of the lighter ones.)

    I could not believe the difference too when I vacuumed our family room rug, it was like a whole new rug, which is scary because that is where my boys spend most of their time.  It is nice to know that I am also helping out with our allergies as it traps up to 99.9% of dust and allergens.  The side brushes are nice because not only does it groom my carpet but also gets the edges of our carpet very nicely.  Maneuvering it is a breeze as I can practically lay it down to clean under couches and the handle not only makes it comfortable to hold, but also it turns easily all around.  There is also a 30ft. cord so you can clean more without stopping and plugging in the cord somewhere else.

    The two flaws I saw at first with the Oreck Pilot are that it requires bags and it doesn’t have a pull-out handle.  Well bags are actually not so bad since they help contain smells and dirt, and they are not too expensive to buy.  I have been using my vacuum for a few weeks now and my bag seems to be fine.  As far as the handle goes I actually think this vacuum maneuvers in spots where I usually need the handle part so I don’t miss it.  As a bonus too, all upright vacuums come with a separate lightweight Handvac!  So you actually get two vacuums for one price!  The HandVac is so cool, it does have to be plugged in, but it has a strap so you can wear it like a purse and then walk around with the hose  to get in those corners, crevices, and stairs.  I love the Hand Vac too for small cleaning tasks and it is so lightweight that I don’t mind wearing it on my shoulder!

    So far I have had everyone that comes over check out my new vacuum and everyone has been impressed.  I actually have been like “Hey you want to try out my new vacuum?” My friends and family has all been surprised at how smooth, quiet, quick, and effective it is!  I would definitely recommend the Oreck Pilot to anyone, especially if you are looking for a lightweight vacuum that has super-powers!  Okay so maybe it doesn’t have super powers but it definitely cleans my floors – both carpet and hardwood  well enough for me to not mind cleaning!  I hate having to re-do spots where dirt just didn’t pick up and the Oreck leaves nothing behind!

    BUY IT: Oreck Platinum Pilot Vacuum available at $599 at more than 475 Oreck Clean Home Centers across the country and at oreck.com. You can also go to a local store staffed by trained cleaner, healthier home specialists who offer expert advice and service along with latest technologies and solutions.

    Mama’s Money Savers Disclosure:  I was sent an Oreck Pilot to review.  The review is 100% my opinion.  I was not compensated in any other way.

      Another note is ports won’t admit non-operable vehicle for
      roll-on roll-off transport service. The popular NCIS spin-off television
      series returns in NCIS: Los Angeles: The Complete Fourth
      Season. And one of essentially the most important requirements in looking great is dressing
      properly.

      I’m dying to get an Oreck Halo. I tried to talk my husband into seeing if the Oreck store in town was open on Saturday, just to look, but he said we couldn’t afford to buy one anyway, so why look. Oh well, I’ll keep trying!

      I like the Oreck Tower Air Purifier. With cats (and occasional pet sitting for my son’s dog,) we have an air purifier going every day, but the one we have is getting old. This one looks great, and being an Oreck product gives it extra credibility!

      My hubby bought me an Oreck XL about 6 yrs ago after I had surgery on both of my shoulders. Now I am getting ready to have both shoulder replaced so this new model would be a Gods send. Since my hubby has just returned to work after being laid off for over a year, wining it would be the only way I could have a chance to afford one. Thanks for the opportunity and good luck to all 🙂
