Oreck Platinum Pilot Vacuum Review

I was in vacuum purgatory until I bought an Oreck two years ago. I can honestly say, before my Oreck, I have purchased five vacuums in ten years and each one didn’t last much more than a year. The vacuum’s we bought were from Wal-Mart or Target, priced around $150.00 or less. We tried Dirt Devil, Eureka and Hoover. My wise mother, who has had the same Oreck for over fifteen years, suggested investing in one and we finally listened. We have had our Oreck for over two years now and haven’t had any problems. If we did, it is covered under a ten year warranty. I will never buy or use another brand! Why? Well, I’m so happy you asked! Oreck vacuums are solid, sturdy, cleaning machines. They are lightweight, have a ten year warranty, and LAST!!   

 

I was absolutely beyond thrilled to review their new Platinum Pilot vacuum. They are stepping it up to compete with the other swivel vacuums and this makes me so happy! I took some pictures of the swivel so you can see just how far it will go. Here are my thoughtsI was in vacuum purgatory until I bought an Oreck two years ago.

Oreck Platinum Pilot with 360° Glide:   

Unique ball-joint and pivot connection provide easy steering and greater maneuverability   

Advanced HEPA filtration and antimicrobial protection: The Pilot features IntellaShield Technology™. This is an anti-microbial agent built right into key points of the vacuum that inhibits the growth and reproduction of bacteria, mold and mildew – in and on the vacuum. It works even when the vacuum is turned off – which helps create a healthier clean.   

Two speed settings: The Pilot’s high speed helps it clean deep pile carpet, while its low speed is gentle enough to clean Oriental and Persian rugs. The two-speed switch in the handle makes it easy to start and stop the motor – with no stooping.   

Advanced sound-dampening technology   

Sleek, simple, modern design   

10 FREE annual tune-ups (a $400 value!) ( what other Vacuum does this!)   

10 year warranty ( THE BEST PART OF IT ALL THEY STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT)
