My Oreck just bit the dust. Good riddance. I have heavy duty vacuuming needs, with 2 shedding dogs and 3 shedding cats, and the Oreck just isn't up to the job, IME. I borrowed my mom's Hoover Windtunnel - it is wonderful. Good suction, onboard tools which work beautifully. Disadvantages are that it is VERY heavy and noisy. I'm not sure of the cost, but it must be cheaper than that !(*$!()*$)!#*! oreck.
