They're a small,  low cost option machine and I've only heard good things about them.

Suitable for residential work, just don't expect to be able to take on an office the size of a football pitch.

Safe and happy cleaning :)

Ryan.

What do you need it for ?

The Oreck is a SMALL machine and OK for SMALL jobs it simply won't cope with anything other than small.

Hi Ryan

I have an Oreck orbitor, have used it on several occasions mainly for small stain / spill jobs, but also very handy for stairs, if a bit cumbersome. I did an entire house with my sebo duo and the Oreck with a top floor appartment as there was no other option.

One thing I would advise is that you put oversized mop heads on the machine, they work just as well and your less likely to catch the sharp edge of the base plate and snag a carpet if you accidentally tip the machine a little to far.

Hi Dave (Ingram)

In the picture are you agitating ahead of HWE, or doing a LM clean ?
