Product Description

Meet Magnesium RS, the newest addition to the Oreck Magnesium model line! Like the original Magnesium, it's got incredible suction power but more features. At 7. 7 pounds*, Magnesium RS is the lightest, full-powered, swivel-steering upright vacuum cleaner in America. With its new Slim Swivel Design and furniture-friendly, low-profile physique it's an effortless way to maneuver around any obstacle and clean every floor in your home—upstairs and downstairs. The wireless two-speed Quick Switch in the handle enables you to select the right power levels and move smoothly across all floor types. The large, high-performance wheels give Magnesium RS the agility it needs for every surface, from hardwood and tile to plush and frieze carpet without stopping for manual adjustments. It's so lightweight that carrying it upstairs is a cinch and so powerful it feels self-propelled.

They do not honor their warranties.
I am very disappointed in Oreck as a whole. I purchased this expensive vacuum about three years ago. I took ample time to research the product because I wanted something that would last and a vacuum that was high quality. I also wanted a product under warranty in case anything did happen. The vacuum broke in half when I shifted the arm into a down position. I contacted Oreck, and they said to take it to a local Oreck repair shop. Our local shop said that they would not honor the warranty because they no longer work on Oreck vacuums do to the several issues they have been having with the company. I contacted Oreck directly. They only offered another option to ship the vacuum to them directly. I explained that shipping a vacuum is far from economical and would instead purchase a new one since they could not guarantee it would be returned fixxed. What a disappointment. I will never purchase an Oreck product again and would not recommend it to anyone else simply because they did not honor their 7-year warranty.
