How Oreck makes clean easy. In the early 1960s, entrepreneur David Oreck had a radical idea: design a lightweight yet powerfu ... l vacuum to replace the much heavier ones hotel housekeepers had to push around. They loved it. Today homeowners and hoteliers alike love Oreck’s easy-to-use, lightweight, powerful and durable upright vacuums—as well as its hand-held vacuums, steam mops, air purifiers, floor machines and cleaning products. An industry leader for nearly 50 years, Oreck has earned its reputation for making the finest vacuums available. Headquartered in Nashville, Tennessee, Oreck Corporation sells its products in hundreds of Oreck Clean Home Centers and other select retail outlets, as well as through phone and online direct sales. The company distributes products in the U.S., Canada and parts of Europe. For more information visit www.oreck.com. Whatever your cleaning challenge—children, pets, everyday life—Oreck can help.
