Oreck XL2 Unclog & Brushroll Repair - The Vacuum That Was The End Of An Era

There once was a day you could not watch television without seeing an infomercial feature David Oreck selling his ultra-light vacuums. Whether you loved them or hated them, they were a family-owned company that manufactured in the United States... that was the American success story. Then the founder's son lost the company and a company known for zombie brands took over. Let's repair this vacuum and ruminate about the end of an era for Oreck. Today we will do an Oreck XL2 unclog and brushroll repair.


** CORRECTION ** - David Oreck has not passed. He is retired and in his 90s. Apologies for the oversight.
