I Have an Oreck XL21, I LOVE IT i had it for two years with great power in cleaning for the 21 Year warranty this vacuum is NOT over priced it’s a great value, even though it doesn’t have the stupid attachments it came with small canister vacuum and i love it! I was going to buy everyone on my Christmas shopping list an Oreck XL21 Titanium series, but their stupid little brains went over board and now the vacuum is discontinued because Oreck claims it too long of a warranty! But i still got mine with the 12 year warranty and 21 free annual tune ups!

I see on the Lowes & Home Depot websites that there are a lot of different models. Can anybody tell we what the difference is between DC17, DC18, DC24, DC25, etc.???

Boy you guys are a lot of help (not). Look, I’ve been married for 13 years and I think I know my wife better than any of you do. The question wasn’t "should I get this for my wife for Christmas".
And just so you know…a couple years ago I surprised her at Christmas with a trip to Key West just for the 2 of us. I also spent a year going through our old photo albums and scanning all the photos and putting them to music to create DVD slide shows. And this year I drove my wife and kids and her elderly parents across country so my father-in-law could visit the last sister he has left alive. I do the dishes. I help with the kids, with the cooking, etc……..so don’t give me crap about not being thoughtful or romantic. Did it ever occur to people that if you show your love for your spouse on a daily basis then maybe they don’t expect you to make it all up once or twice a year at Christmas and Valentines Day?? Give me a break people.

I guess my wife is unique, cause honestly, there’s nothing she wants more than one of these Dysons. (I don’t know why.) Believe me, I never thought I’d consider spending that kind of money on a freakin vacuum.
