Always Ready for Guests With Oreck

Oreck Venture Bagged Canister Vacuum While summer is certainly the prime time to travel, the flip-side is that guests may be on your doorstep through the summer as well! In my household the common joke is that when I’m frantically cleaning, they ask, “are we having company?” They know me well.

Recently, we received the new Oreck Venture Pro Bagged Canister Vacuum (priced at $349.99 at Canadian Tire) to review this summer, and it’s been in heavy use with all our visitors! It was super easy to put together right out of the box, and I set to work right away to test it out – funny how a new shiny appliance will actually encourage me to clean the house!

Thankfully, it’s been performing wonderfully and hasn’t let me down. Here’s why:

Oreck Venture Bagged Canister Vacuum

1) Direct suction and roller brush rotation of 7,000 RPM means that nothing gets left behind. The vacuum actually has settings so you can determine how strong the suction is, and we keep it on “2” instead of full force at “5”! Think about that, a lower setting on this vacuum provides the same suction as the standard amount on other vacuum cleaners.

2) It’s perfect for hardwood and carpet because you can turn off the brush rotation yet still have that incredible suction to get all those cookie crumbs and dirt on your hardwood. It also has little side brushes to get right beside baseboards (it makes me crazy when you can see a trail of dust beside the baseboards that the vacuum has missed).

3) It sits pretty on my stairs. No worry about it tipping and falling down when it’s sleek design makes it easy to set on a stair and get to work. The long 22ft cord with auto-cord rewind means I’m not constantly having to re-position it.

4) On-board attachments make it easy to clean things like curtains and sofa cushions (that adjustable suction is super-helpful for things like that too!)

5) A HEPA Media Filter that traps 99.97% of dust, dirt and pollens down to 0.3 microns means I’m helping to keep allergens out of my carpet (all our bedrooms upstairs are carpeted). It’s important to me that our vacuum be my extra help to keep our household clear from these asthma triggers.

Also worth noting – a bagged canister vacuum isn’t actually the pain that I thought it would be. We’ve been using bagless vacuums for years, and while it’s nice not having to replace a bag, pulling out hair and dust and everything else that doesn’t easily fall into the garbage was gross. I’m super impressed in the capacity of the bags too, and have only replaced mine once since we received the vacuum months ago – there’s an indicator letting you know when it’s time, taking out any guess work or paranoia that the bag is going to overflow on you.

Look for the Oreck Venture Bagged Canister Vacuum at Canadian Tire for a suggested retail price of $399.99.
