12:12:09 I bought the Pro XL, do not know if this is different than Pro XL plus looks the same to me. Got to save it from the big box that with a "C" for $ 250 after $ 50 rebate begins, valid until 31.12.2009

Pro: light, from behind, bags exhaust, under furniture, Independent Can, quick cleaning.
Cons: loud, can not as well not turn off the "Brush", pulls the left.

I have a Eureka Boss Smart ($ 149) for about for years after reading ConsumerReports and see it as a Best Buy. I was really happy with him, and it has a good job. My wife is petite and was unhappy with the weight of it. It was also difficult, the hose system for high places like door frames (I stood himself on a ladder use and held the high vacuum from the bottom in one hand while cleaning cobwebs with the hose in the other installations. Not dangerous.) Was day One my wife with the hose attachment to clean the stairs and stretched it a littletoo far, the vacuum fell down and was very traumatized. Now we had an excuse for a new store. My wife liked the Oreck from the ads, because it very easy to clean and supposedly good. I blanched a bit on the price and studied for months. Consumer Reports did not write a stellar, but others had to say decent things.

So I saw the last Costco coupons and $ 50 off the Oreck. Went today and got it and started it for a testHour or so when we got home. We have wood and tile floors with oriental carpets five different thickness. The thicker rug with a pad under it cleaned very well, easier than with the other vac and we were able to get all the way under the coffee table and an outlet part of the way under the sofa – what we could not do before. We have two large dogs and it has a great job of picking up the hair from the carpet and tile floor. My wife has the thinner carpet and said it was not quite as good as the thicker ones. Ialso noticed that on the thin blankets, spinning, "Brush" tends to drag the vacuum left – a little annoying. Cleaned the wood floors just fine, no apparent damage from the spinning brush. I am perfectly happy and would recommend it, especially for $ 250.

My biggest gripe is against the vacuum of noise, it was ok on thick carpet, but on the floors very loud. I like my ears that I use the earplugs I wore for blowing leaves!

Canister: This is nice and bright and has aShoulder strap. I found that the long extension cord and I just walk around the room and clean the baseboards and cobwebs from ceiling corners very fast. Also, the tops of window and door frames. Before I would have to vacuum off the ground to reach the high spots – so that they have not done much to achieve. With the extensions, I could double the cobwebs out of the recessed lighting in my 12-foot ceilings – not possible to clean without the risk of my life beforeon a ladder. The suction seems a bit weak really on the canister, but overall I loved the canister capacity. Cleaning the stairs to the basement is super easy now.

My wife and both commented on how clean it seemed to take less time to deal with this than with our other vac.

Will update later if something changes.
