Competes with professional floor cleaning!,
The Orbiter uses a dry shampoo technique for carpet cleaning. The scrubbing power is awesome. The stains and darkened traffic areas on my white berber carpet came right up! My husband commented that it looked better than after the professional steam cleaning we had done. In 30 minutes, you vacuum up the dry powder and you’re done. Kids and pets can walk around while the powder works – it is safe. Why steam clean carpets anymore, waiting for the rug to dry overnight?
I cleaned all of the tile floors – 3 bathrooms and the kitchen floor. The Kitchen floor looked the same as after the professional tile and grout cleaning I had done last year. The white grout lines in the bathrooms reappeared with only 1 application! See my before and after photos in the product photo gallery.
The Orbiter is not light to carry around. But once you turn it on, it practically skates on top of the floor being cleaned and is very easy to maneuver and balanced. It takes a little more strength to maneuver on carpet for obvious reasons. The brushes that come in the kit sold separately are very easy to put on and remove and are very solidly built.
I highly recommend this floor machine and look forward to years of good use. With just one pass on my carpet and tile floors, I have recouped the money I would have spent on professional cleaning.

|A Hidden Secret,
If anyone has a lot of high quality flooring, this should be a staple in your home. It is as necessary as a vacuum. Flooring companies will not tell you to buy this equipment because they want you to call them back after two years so they can do the work of honing, restoring, and resealing for an ENORMOUS price.
This was the best purchase I have made in a long time. As soon as I am done with the travertine in the rest of the rooms, I am going to start investing in pads for the wood floors in my bedroom. This is a deep cleaning machine and perfect to use for spring cleaning a house.
Oh by the way, I am 31 year old female and I restored my kitchen floors all by myself. If I can do it, anyone can do it. Just get the diamond polishing pads and this awesome machine!

|Easy to handle and well made,
The machine is a pleasure to use. It is easy to control and has plenty of power. I cleaned my vinyl floor and also a good portion of my wood dining room floor. I was satisfied with the results.
The ultra model appears to be so similar to the commercial model that I think either would be fine. I did think I was getting a more powerful motor when I placed my order but there is little to go wrong with this device necessitating a 10 year warranty (applicable to the ultra unit) so I don’t regret my purchase. Oreck customer phone service is not outsourced and the people I spoke to were friendly, helpful and knowledgeable.
I have yet to try to clean tile so I can’t comment on this. I have no plans to use the machine to clean carpet as I have a carpet cleaner which uses detergent.
Addendum:
Despite the information provided by Orek’s customer service to the contrary it appears that this unit really does have a 3/4 h.p. motor. I am happy to hear this since it still can be used with any standard 15 amp outlet. I have used this floor machine several times since purchase on sheet vinyl and wood and I have no regrets. It is a fine machine.
