I just retired my Oreck canister vac from 25+ years of service for a new one. The old one has been passed on to granddaughter as it still works good. The upright and this canister vac are the perfect cleaning duo! First I go thru the house with the canister to get furniture, corners, hard to reach places, anywhere the upright can't go then follow up with the big vac! The extra tools store right on the canister. It has a super long cord, powerful suction and a shoulder strap...very easy to use! Great for small messes too instead of dragging out the big one. Still uses the same bags as the old one. Bags are easy to find and reasonably priced. Oreck products are the best value for your hard earned $$!! Made in the USA and still the best! Review: Powerful suction, built to last, and a HEPA filter. - This is such a great vacuum! It has a replaceable HEPA filter module that fits over the exhaust port, which means you can pick up very fine particulate like flour without it just spewing out behind you. It has VERY strong suction and can pick up any kind of mess easily. The attachments are pretty good, I use the brush attachment a lot as the bristles loosen up dirt. The usual crevice tool, extender, and other parts all work like they should. The vacuum bags are cheap too, so it's no big deal to replace them as needed. They improved the design from the older model, the hose has a locking ring so it won't just pop out, and there's a cord storage area at the bottom. My only gripe is that the attachments don't lock to the other end and just have a friction fit. It's not really a problem for daily use but it is a minor inconvenience. Oreck vacuums aren't cheap but you pay for quality and reliability. It's built like a tank and there's nothing flimsy about it. If you have to pick up a lot of fine material (plastic shavings, fiberglass particles, milled grains/flours, etc.) this is definitely the right vacuum. ## Features - PORTABLE CLEANING: The Oreck Compact Canister Vacuum Cleaner is lightweight and designed for effortless cleaning from floor to ceiling. Carry it or wear it over your shoulder for easy maneuverability. - WHOLE HOME VACUUM CLEANERS: With the 20-ft. power cord and a 5.5-lb. design, these compact versatile vacuum cleaners make transitioning between rooms and cleaning throughout the home simple. - QUICK AND EASY MAINTENANCE: The HEPA inner bag combined with an AirClean filter effectively captures 99.95% of particles like pollen, dirt, smoke, pet dander and spores, making for a refreshing clean. - VERSATILE TOOLS: Featuring a flexible hose, telescopic wand and convenient on-board tools, this canister vacuum tackles messes with ease. It also doubles as a blower, providing powerful, efficient cleaning for every corner and surface. - CLEAN MADE EASY: Founded in 1963, David Oreck's vision for lightweight, powerful vacuums began in hotels and grew into a trusted brand for homes. Now offering vacuums, air purifiers, and more, Oreck is committed to making cleaning simpler for all. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B01M9GYBT5 | | Best Sellers Rank | #176,863 in Home & Kitchen ( See Top 100 in Home & Kitchen ) #44 in Canister Vacuum Cleaners | | Brand | Oreck | | Brand Name | Oreck | | Capacity | 0.6 Liters | | Color | Black | | Control Method | Touch | | Controller Type | Push Button | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 out of 5 stars 510 Reviews | | Filter Type | Cartridge | | Finish Types | Matte | | Form Factor | Handheld | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00743808100021 | | Hose Length | 20 Feet | | Included Components | Canister, Crevice Tool, HEPA Filter | | Indoor Outdoor Usage | Indoor | | Is Product Cordless | No | | Item Type Name | Oreck Compact Canister Vacuum - Handheld Cannister Floor Cleaner & Blower w/HEPA Filter Bag for Dusting Dirt & Dog Hair for Hardwood, Wooden & Tile Floors, BB1200DB, Black | | Manufacturer | Oreck | | Model Name | Compact Canister Vacuum - Handheld Cannister Floor Cleaner & Blower w/HEPA Filter Bag for Dusting Dirt & Dog Hair for Hardwood, Wooden & Tile Floors | | Model Number | BB1200DB | | Noise Level | 80 Decibels | | Number of Handles | 1 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Power Levels | 1 | | Number of Wheels | 4 | | Other Special Features of the Product | Bag, Compact, HEPA, Lightweight, Portable | | Portable | Yes | | Power Source | Corded Electric | | Recommended Uses For Product | Carpet, Hard Floor, Hardwood, Home | | Special Feature | Bag, Compact, HEPA , Lightweight, Portable | | Style Name | Compact, Modern, Versatile | | Surface Recommendation | Upholstery, Stairs, Hard Surfaces, Edges, Small Spaces | | UPC | 743808100021 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Voltage | 120 Volts | | Wattage | 700 watts | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Oreck - **Filter Type:** Cartridge - **Power Source:** Corded Electric - **Special Feature:** Bag, Compact, HEPA, Lightweight, Portable - **Surface Recommendation:** Upholstery, Stairs, Hard Surfaces, Edges, Small Spaces ## Images ![Compact Canister Vacuum Cleaner, Portable Handheld Vacuum for Carpet and Hard Floors, Lightweight, Powerful Suction with Versatile Tools, Corded Canister Vacuum Cleaners for Home Use - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81UE1zhNJpL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Does the vacuum have a shoulder strap?** A: yes **Q: Can I buy attachments?** A: It came with all the attachments I needed that are shown with it. **Q: Just got this vacuum today.

This vacuum is portable, light, and meant only for hardwood floors, furniture, or cobwebs for the ceiling. It is not meant for carpets. Personally, I haven't found a portable vacuum for hardwood floors that wasn't as cumbersome as the Orek, so I've stuck with them. My previous Orek lasted 15+ years and was still functioning. Previously, the main attachment arm cracked at the opening, rendering it useless, so I found a replacement arm and used that for several more years with the existing Orek. Ultimately, my previous Orek's tubing cracked open. I guess I could have just replaced the tubing but I decided to get a whole new vacuum, and this new one is pretty much identical to my old one. The main advantage is its portability and the ability for it to be carried with their strap which works well. It can also be used as a car vacuum which is a nice bonus. It comes with attachments that are functional and work well. The main downside is the the main vacuum tube/arm (that can extend) does not stay fastened on the attachment tube that goes into the vacuum bag. It's pretty frustrating and can be solved with some basic duct tape, though that's the best solution I could find. It can continually fall off if not aware of it. The cost of this vacuum is another advantage, as I didn't want to pay a lot of money for a canister vacuum that is not as compact and portable as the Orek. I give it 4 stars, as I like the Orek, for the cost and portability and cleaning functioning, but also for the problem with that main vacuum arm not being able to be fastened tightly to the vacuum hose. Again, this is a no BS/AI review, and I am an owner of an Orek for several years. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/41995672-compact-canister-vacuum-cleaner-portable-handheld-vacuum-for-carpet-hard](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/41995672-compact-canister-vacuum-cleaner-portable-handheld-vacuum-for-carpet-hard) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-07-05*
