It's Kimberly verses vacuums! Ladies and gentlemen! In this corner we have your champion, Kimberly and in that corner we have the challenger, a pair of Orecks! Spoiler: The Orecks will lose.
Seriously though, seeing the inside of both of those vacuums, while a well regarded brand and likely have some upsides, they don't seem made as well as the Simplicity I bought, just from construction.

[@kimberly.thomason]

These in the video are not made as well as models of 10+ years ago. The quality has gone way down in the Oreck. This is why we usually recommend Tacony products like Riccar and Simplicity!!

@@kimberly.thomason Indeed. That can be said of a number of vacuums, not to mention other products. For example, Eureka used to be a "goto" vacuum brand 20 years ago. Today, they are worthless.
