The Oreck Orbiter® Multi-Purpose Floor Machine makes it simple to sand, refinish, strip, scrub, wax, and polish all floor surfaces, as well as deep clean your carpets. The Oreck Orbiter works differently than conventional floor scrubbers; its brush head rotates in a random orbit for easy-to-use fingertip control. With 12 different cleaning pads available for purchase (along with superior cleaning supplies) it’s versatile enough to tackle virtually any job on any floor surface, providing professional-looking results every time.
Pair the Oreck Orbiter with the Black Carpet Brush and Oreck Dry Carpet Cleaner to easily lift dirt from the carpet fiber and reduce allergens at the same time. It’s a “dry” cleaning process which doesn’t leave a soapy or sticky residue on carpets that can attract dirt and cause rapid re-soiling. It’s also safe for use in homes with children and pets.
The unique design of the Orbiter’s random orbital drive means no torque, gouging or swirling, making it remarkably easy to use. The brush head moves in a random orbit pattern, which allows the machine to easily glide over the floor and prevents brush marks, swirls, sanding marks, and gouges. Over time, all flooring shows the wear and tear of daily use. With the combination of a pad, brush, cleaning product and its wide 13” cleaning path, the Orbiter makes tough heavy-duty floor cleaning a breeze — and brings your floors back to life.
The Oreck Orbiter is assembled in America and is virtually maintenance-free. The precision-engineered induction motor is constructed of durable zinc and steel and there are no gears, belts, or motor brushes that can wear out. The Orbiter features a 5-year motor and 1-year overall limited warranty*.

Outstanding product If you are reading this, you are considering buying an Oreck Orbiter floor cleaning machine. I want to share my recent experience using this cleaning system.The problem carpet in my house covers the family room and a short hallway to the kitchen, which includes a closet pantry. It is a white berber. The hallway builds up a lot of dirt, as it is high traffic. Additionally, we had stains around the pantry door where a bottle of apple juice had at one time spilled. The family room carpet had stains from spills, and as we raised four puppies, has had pet stains over the 19 years we have lived in this house.We had tried many carpet cleaning solutions. All failed to clean the apple juice stains and the worst of the pet stains. None made the pathway dirt in the hall look more than a dismal gray color. Here is what we had tried:1. A traditional professional steam cleaner. No effect at all on the juice or worst pet stains.Little effect on the path dirt.2. Sears Dry System for carpet cleaning. The results were the same as the steam cleaning.3.A Bissel home steam cleaning upright unit. Once again, same results as 1 and 2.4.The Rug Doctor steam cleaning unit (as a rental), which you have seen advertised on TV. Once again the worst pet stains and the juice stain remained. It did the best job on the pathway dirt, but did not eliminate it.5. The Bissel Spot Bot, which uses brushes to scrub one small circular area at a time. It made progress on the pathway dirt, but again only to a gray color. It made no progress on the juice stains. Some of the pet stains got lighter after repeated usage, but were never completely removed. Sometimes this unit fails to actually pick up the dirty water it creates and just spreads out the stain rather than removing it.Then we tried the Oreck Orbiter. It got the high traffic area more clean than it has been in MANY years, after only one pass. The juice stains were not completely eliminated, but were reduced to the point where you have to look for them to see them. Again, this was after only one try. I am confident that repeated usages, especially if we use the brush attachment, will remove them completely. The tough pet stains were cleaned up entirely. These are stains that had resisted FIVE other cleaning systems, and they disappeared … the first time! … using this Orbiter and the carpet cleaning chemicals that Oreck sells to use with it.I believe the difference is the orbiting action, along with Oreck’s superior cleaning chemicals. You literally get dozens of cleaning passes over the trouble spot in the same time and effort that would provide one or two passes with the other cleaning machines. And unlike steam cleaning in particular, no stains have started to mysteriously reappear a few days later. I believe the reason for that is the cleaning methodology. You first spray the carpet lightly with a cleaning solution, and use a separate solution on tough stains. Then you spread a powder over the area to be cleaned. As you use the orbiter, the powder soaks up the dirt, and is in turn picked up by the fabric pad on the bottom of the orbiter. When the dirt is gone, its in the cleaning pad, not forced down through the fabric of the carpet into your carpet padding.If you are considering a permanent carpet cleaning solution, this is a good choice. And it really isn’t physically difficult to use. It is about the same effort as vacuuming, from my experience.It is not particularly inexpensive. Eighty dollars in chemicals were required for two hallways and two large rooms. We did have some chemicals left over, possibly enough to do half of one of the large rooms. If you don’t have problem stains or areas, you may do as well with less expensive alternatives.However, this is the ONLY way I will ever clean my carpets from now on.Carpet cleaning is of course not all this unit will do. Because of the orbiting action, it will clean hardwoods, tile, and linoleum too. You could probably get away with using it on smooth concrete, such as your garage or carport surface. I have not personally used it other than on carpet, but I will be doing so in the near future. I’ll update this after.I hope this has helped you in evaluating whether to purchase this unit for you own use. This review contains my actual experiences over 19 years of trying to keep my berber carpet clean. The first time you use it, you will experience the same results I enjoyed. This is possibly the most enthusiastic recommendation I have ever given a consumer product. And no, I am not affiliated with Oreck in any way. LOL I’m just pleased with how much cleaner my carpet is.Update: Seven months and three cleanings later, I just get more and more happy with the performance of this tool. I just got through cleaning all the carpets in the house in preparation for a New Year’s Eve…
single guy’s maid The Oreck orbital scrubber/buffer/sander is excellent. My hard wood floors have only been mopped for twenty years. Never scrubbed. Never renovated. Once over with the Oreck scrub attachment, polished and buffed and the floors are like new. If needed, the Oreck has a sanding attachment that, I am sure, would have worked great. The buffer was excellent and will be used weekly for less time and effort than the past tense dry mopping. The head is heavy, so is a little weildsome putting on attachment. The flipside is that weight allows the user to simply guide the machine along the floor. No exertion needed. Very quiet.I also used on my bath and kitchen tiled and grouted floors. Same history. Never scrubbed, etc. Only mopped over twenty years. Same results. Excellent. The girlfriend’s “…must do a renovation” was completely quieted. Girlfriend has same satisfaction as I.Do not have carpeting. Machine has carpet cleaning attchments available.Choose your attachment package mindfully, as the attachments are on the pricey side. The attachment make the job.
