Lighter, greener, faster and more powerful than ever - the latest vacuum cleaners will bust your dust in no time.

Oreck XL3

Weighing in at just over 4kg - light enough to lift with one hand - this cleaner also possesses retro good looks. It is at the more expensive end of the market, but the extra outlay buys you excellent corner-cleaning capability thanks to side brushes that pull in the dirt. Cleaning under sofas and beds is easy, too, because it can lie flat. Verdict Great looks and performance.

... Oreck's new upright vac is lightweight with an ergonomic handle that makes it easy to move around a room. What's more, it's tall so no aching back. It looks like an old-school carpet sweeper, but it's much better at picking up dirt.

Eco-conscious

Sustainability, practicality and style can go hand-in-hand, with these environmentally friendly products for your home

Introducing: The XL1 by Oreck is a space-saving and lightweight upright vacuum cleaner with self-sealing 10.3L dustbags. It folds up to be stored away, weighs just 3.6kg, comes with 9.15m lead, and has automatic self-adjustment between different types of flooring. £229

Eco appeal: This model uses one third of the energy of competitive models (350 watts compared to the industry norm between 1600 and 2000 watts), made possible due to a special brush roll design that ensures a powerful clean is achieved without resorting to just suction and a high wattage motor. Performance is still guaranteed thanks to innovative top fill system: dirt goes into the top of the bag, not the bottom as in most cleaners, which means that power is not wasted pushing up yesterday's dirt to make room for the new debris.

SAVVY SHOPPER SAYS Although not the sexist model on the market, the new XL1 is really lightweight and extremely energy efficient. Instead or relying on suction power, it has thousands of specially shaped bristles in the brushbar that lift dirt from deep in the carpet.

Tricks of the trade
Zena Says..
I'm no fan of the extended guarantees retailers try to sell you when you buy electrical products. The idea is that if it breaks when your manufacturers guarantee runs out, you’ve covered - but it'll cost you. That's why I like Oreck's vacuum cleaners. The XL3 comes with a three-year warranty and the XL10 is guaranteed for 10 years. They're not the cheapest vacs on the market - £299 and £429 respectively but they are built to be repaired and not replaced.

CLEAN THE AIR
If the approach of summer fills you with dread because of hayfever, investing in a air purifier may help relieve symptoms by removing pollen from the room. The new Oreck Air 6000 air purifier filters out allergens, bacteria, dust, odours, pollutants and viruses in a six-stage process, before releasing cleaned air back into the room. It costs less to run than a 75W light bulb and the filter is washable.

Oreck XL Uprights come with a free portable.

Oreck has introduced its new range of XL upright vacuum cleaners. The company has been producing domestic cleaners for 40 years and says that its new range is packed with new ideas to make cleaning easier.

There are three models in the XL range, the XL3 at £299, the XL5 at £349 and the XL10 at £429. Generous warranties of three, five and 10 years respectively are offered, and the upright cleaners are sold as a dual cleaning system, with a handheld portable multi-vac included in the price. A year's supply of dust bags is also included.

Says Alison Robinson, Oreck's marketing manager: "We are all very excited about the new range of upright XL vacuum cleaners. The fresh styling and outstanding warranties, combined with Oreck's reputation for performance and ease of use, make the XL series a very attractive propostion for both retailers and consumers alike."

Oreck claims for its XL models the virtues of lightness (around 4.2kg), excellent peformance and low energy usage. Each model features special brush rolls to pick up dirt right into corners and a direct suction path, which the company says helps ensure no loss of power.

The cleaners also adjust automatically to the type of floor to ensure excellent cleaning on carpets and hard floors.

Its HEPA filtration system and anitbacterial dust-lock bags are also designed to ensure they are well suited to allergy sufferers, while the XL5 and XL10 models are said to be ideally suited to pet owners.

The XL3 and XL5 come with the standard handheld multi-vac (£99 when purchased separately), which has shoulder strap for ease of use and a set of nine attachments to get into all those awkward nooks and crannies. Its six-metre chord also makes it ideal for the car.

The XL10 model comes with the deluxe handheld multi-vac (£129 when purchased separately), which boasts enough power to pick up a 16lb bowling ball and can also be used as a blower.
