Oreck XL 21 vs. Riccar Supralite RSL5

Hey, so I thought this would be a good video two top of the line light weight vacs from two very different companies. You can see that both machines are not at all perfect. The Riccar is not built nearly as sturdy as the O What A Wreck but it cleans 40% better. The Riccar also has a Metal brush roll compared to the wood one in the oreck, however the one in the oreck really does groom the carpet nicely and this brush roll has lasted a long time compared to the other models which wear out fast. The Riccar also has a lifetime belt and sensor that shuts itself off if it gets caught, oreck gives you an extra belt for those situations. I think i give the edge in filtration to the Oreck because it has charcoal lined bags that really supress the dog smell compared to the Riccar and the oreck also has a post motor filter to capture SOME carbon dust and a heat activated scent disc. But all in all it comes down to performance for me so i give the Riccar the edge. But thats just my opinion.
