The Oreck XL® Upright Vac is the first residential vacuum cleaner to receive the Carpet and Rug Institute (CRI) Seal of Approval.
The Carpet and Rug Institute identifies vacuum cleaners evaluated by an independent testing laboratory. The CRI Seal of Approval is granted to vacuum cleaners that meet the strict standards of its ‘Green Label’ testing program. This program tests for the following:
- Dust Containment: Ensures that the indoor air you breathe is clean and not contaminated by dust spewed from the vacuum cleaner.
- Soil Removal: Ensures the vacuum thoroughly cleans the carpet deep-down.
- Carpet Appearance: Ensures the vacuum cleaner will not damage the carpet over time.
Oreck voluntarily tests its upright vacuum cleaner models because:
- Air quality in the indoor environment is of utmost concern and importance.
- Effectively removing dust and dirt from carpet with an efficient vacuum cleaner is critical to the cleanliness of your home.
- Keeping carpets and floors clean without spreading dust back into the air keeps the entire room cleaner, longer.
- Using a vacuum cleaner that effectively removes dirt from the carpet while not damaging the carpet fibers ensures your carpets will remain beautiful for a long time to come.
Vacuum cleaners with a CRI serial number and label are proven to protect your investment in your carpet while minimizing adverse impact on indoor air quality. Oreck’s CRI serial number is #51397, and its approval status can be verified by calling the Carpet and Rug Institute’s toll free number at 1-800-882-8846, or by visiting the CRI website at www.carpet-rug.org.
