This is not a new design in a vacuum cleaner. It was a vacuum cleaner under a different name. Oreck takes vacuum cleaners and/or has them made for him, then increases the price above what the original was offered for.
I found this vacuum cleaner to be very quiet. It has alot of power for a vacuum on the smaller side. It was very easy to handle and move around. The "gas pump" handle hose was very comfortable when cleaning the carpeting. The machine end of the hose port swivels for more maneuverability, so there is no need to constantly move the machine.
The small power nozzle is very weak. The bristles are very soft, which translates into weaker pick up of debris. I think it would be fine for indoor/outdoor carpeting or flooring. The user could upgrade the power head to a larger power nozzle called "Big Foot". The bristles on this nozzle are stiffer. Purchasing the larger nozzle also would increase the already high price for this model unless you could talk the dealer into making a switch.
If you are a person like me that uses the attachments, then this vacuum may not suit you. The attachments are on the small side like many of the foreign made vacuum cleaners and increasing number of American brands. You have the option of purchasing wall/floor brushes that are made by Wessell-Werk.
This vacuum has very good filtration, power, quiet and is easy to use, but if a major portion of your cleaning is carpeting, then there are other options.
