Are you sure david? The oreck is an op machine as well.

shaun's right david - if your oreck is rotating its broke mate! 

no thats interesting what kev says about green brush - the black ones are actually rubbish for carpets (altho thats what they are supposed to be for) and the orange is too much - until now the green brush had passed me by - must get one in

Floormac is OP
Oreck is rotary

Oreck Orbiter. ie it's orbital what's the difference between that and oscillating pad ? I stand to be corrected but their both OP/Orbital machines

er, the Oreck rotates (spins), the Floormac wobbles about (very fast),

Er the floormac rotates (spins)too ! The wobble is the orbital motion . The same motion an oreck orbiter should have!

Yes, I just checked, the Oreck is OP.
Sorry my mistake.

We have 3 systems dependant on size..... big area rotory, medium area tm4, small area like around beds or bathrooms ( where  we would use an Oreck or  flormac) stiff brush.

I gave away my Oreck

We use the Orecks, and have a few sprites too.  Oreck works a treat, great on stairs.

Both op machines , op = oscillating pad.

As said by Shaun , better build quality on Oreck = metal. Floormac = plastic.
