Oreck XL Vacuums Best Roller (1 Brush & 3 Belts)

I needed to replace the brush on my Oreck vacuum that Ive had forever and was pleased to fine them on Amazon for a decent price. To boot it comes with 3 extra belts. This is handy for when you suck up something that stops the roller and wears on the belt. When you small smoke its time to change the belt. Using care can avoid this problem as replacing the belt can be a pain. The roller made a lot of difference and I can see it in the way it cleans my carpet and works the nap to stand up again. It helps when doing regular floors too as the bristles are long enough to reach the floor now! Its like having a new vacuum for ten bucks.

This Brush fit my Oreck XL Pro Plus perfectly. And the vacuum works almost as well as new (6 yrs Old). I have two associated problems with this purchase. 1) The online product description is deceiving - the description lists the size of the package at 14 inches. I dont care about the package, Im interested in the product size. The brush is about 11.5 inches, not 14 inches. I had to call Oreck Customer Service to understand that there are only two sizes of Oreck brushes so this was the correct one for me. 2) a simple installation instruction sheet would have been helpful to include how to insert the brush relative to the words New and Old printed on the brush.

Ive had my Oreck XL for 20 years, & am ashamed to say I have never changed the brush/belt. It hadnt worked great for a while, but chalked it up to old age, & decided to see if it could be repaired so did some research. When I opened it up, the belt while in 1 piece, was all chewed up with a big hole in it. How the heck it never snapped I dont know, & the brush was just sad looking, so no wonder it didnt work well. The hardest part was getting the new belt on since its tight, & the brush roller is wood, like the original. I tested it out, & it was like a new vacuum, glided as smooth as silk & actually picked up stuff. I was so happy I vacuumed the whole house & apologized to the vacuum since it had been suffering so badly all this time. :)

Make sure to use a new belt. I did not and it worked awfully and broke. I installed one o e the belts that came with it and it works great now. I thought for sure I was going to have to buy a new vacuum.

This roller works great in my thrift store find, found a Orick. vacuum at Goodwill for $5.00. It just needed taken apart, cleaned and as long as your doing all that may as well replace the roller. I’ve been very pleased with my $5.00 investment, I also replaced the bag hanging apparatus. It was cracked

Used utube to do the repair and this item worked like a charm!

This vacuum is 20 years old....still works.....sorry China American made

My bad for just now attempting to use the bar but it does NOT fit Oreck XL 21 or 2100. Description now makes it clear but it didnt back when I purchased the unit. Visually appears to be of good quality and am able to use the belts. Which work great.

I didnt like when I inquired if this brush could replace a brush with a ball bearing the reply was as long as the dimensions were/are the same it will work. After my purchase and a YouTube google found out this was the case.

Replace broken part. Easy to order and install
