Oreck Commercial BB900DGR XL Pro 5 Super Shoulder Vacuum Review

Right off the bat, you will notice that this shoulder vacuum has an exceptionally compact and concise design. Every little feature, component, and facet of this shoulder vacuum is contained within the vacuum’s body, and this body weighs around five-pounds.

Even for a shoulder vacuum, that is very little weight, and because of this, it’s very easy for you to wear this vacuum, to move around with it on, and to use it.

In order for you to use this shoulder vacuum, you need to connect the shoulder strap that Oreck has included. And then, you need to attach the vacuum hose that Oreck has also included. This vacuum hose allows you to vacuum in many different spaces and areas that you would, normally, not be able to reach.

Before you can actually use this vacuum cleaner, you must plug the 30-foot power cord in. This power cord is a very nice length, and this makes it so much easier for you to navigate through large, open spaces with freedom and mobility.

There are plenty of other shoulder vacuums that rely on much shorter power cords, and the vacuuming experiences those shoulder vacuums offer is less than ideal, due to limited mobility.

When you are moving around your home and vacuuming what’s in your path, you’ll be relying on the main vacuum hose. This vacuum hose is a total of four-feet long, which is a good length because it allows you to vacuum on all of your floors, as well as surfaces such as tables, ceilings, curtains, ceiling fans, ventilation shafts; along with many others.

To aid in the mobility that the vacuum hose offers you, there’s an extension wand that you can make use of. This extension wand can be adjusted, and by adjusting the extension wand you are able to extend the reach of the vacuum hose. For spaces and surfaces that are especially difficult to reach, this is incredibly useful and makes the entire vacuuming experience much easier.

While all of these features are great, since they offer mobility and convenience, what is truly important is the performance and power that this shoulder vacuum offers. Fortunately, this shoulder vacuum offers more than enough power and performance for just about any vacuuming task.

While using this shoulder vacuum, you’ll be relying on a 4-Amp motor. This motor isn’t as powerful as the ones found in other shoulder vacuums, but it is a two-stage bypass motor, rather than a single-stage motor. This enhances the suction power and makes the more intensive vacuuming tasks quite a bit easier.

As a result of having this motor, the majority of the vacuuming tasks that you’ll be performing will be very easy. Things like vacuuming on hard and soft floors, vacuuming on ceiling fans, removing dust from tables; along with various other vacuuming tasks. Each one of these tasks is easy for this shoulder vacuum to accomplish, and you won’t have any problems performing them.

What aids in making the vacuuming process even easier, is the fact that Oreck includes a variety of different tools and attachments.

These tools and attachments can be easily connected to the vacuum cleaner, and using them, you are able to perform certain vacuuming functions that the main vacuum hose is unable to do.

For example, some of the attachments are things like a floor head, a dusting brush, a crevice tool, and an upholstery tool. These tools just attach to the vacuum, and they make it easier for you to vacuum on different floors, in tight and narrow crevices, and on upholstery surfaces such as couches and chairs.
