The lightweight Oreck XL® Vac is the only vacuum cleaner to receive the Arthritis Foundation Ease-of-Use Commendation.
The Arthritis Foundation created a program to encourage manufacturers to design with “Ease-of-Use” in mind. Products that meet their standards carry the Arthritis Foundation Ease-of-Use Commendation Logo.
Oreck's exclusive Helping Hand® Handle, is ergonomically designed to reduce stress and strain on wrists, forearms and elbows. You simply push and pull the vacuum, eliminating any need to grip it.
It's incredibly lightweight, but has the cleaning power of machines that weigh several times as much.
Simply put, it's easy to use. And that's why the Arthritis Foundation has awarded the Oreck XL Vacuum Cleaner the Ease-of-Use Commendation.
