Oreck steam cleaner reviews where we discuss the Oreck Steam-It. We discuss the pros and cons of Oreck steam cleaners and what makes this steamer unique.

Before diving in, we will have a quick look at Oreck’s history. This company was formed in 1963 by a man called David Oreck. He designed and built vacuum cleaners mainly for the hotel industry. David was quite successful in his goal and Oreck became one of the leading suppliers to hotels worldwide.

Eventually, his vacuums became accessible to the retail market and are now a household name. Oreck vacuums are known for being lightweight and having self sealing bags which makes disposal a breeze. The top fill design is a preventative measure to ensure that clogs are prevented before they happen.

However, this doesn’t mean that they can’t occur though. Oreck is known for its thoughtful design which puts the comfort of the user in the highest regard. It is excellent for allergy sufferers that want to have very little contact with the dust that vacuums trap.
