The self-sealing patented SaniSeal(R) inner bag is another layer of defense that locks in fine particles like allergens and bacteria as well as dirt and debris. In contrast, when bagless vacuum dirt containers are emptied, dirt, dust and allergens can spew onto the face, hands and eyes and back into the home, according to leading bacteria expert, Dr. Charles Gerba, of the University of Arizona, Tucson.
Patented Oreck IntellaShield Technology(TM) combines bacterial protection and odor control. An antimicrobial agent built right into the vacuum fights microbes such as bacteria, mold, mildew and odors so the vacuum is clean to the touch and smells fresh.
"Most people can push the Oreck Upright Vacuum with one finger," Oreck noted. "I wanted to make it as user-friendly as possible while keeping cleaning powerful."
"Oreck vacuums reduce user stress on hands, wrists and elbows with an ergonomically designed handle," Oreck said. The Oreck vacuum received the Arthritis Foundation(R) Ease-Of-Use Commendation.
For above floor cleaning and stairs, the upright vacuum comes with a separate lightweight bagged handheld vac with telescoping attachments.
