Excellent replacement for the XL21 though not OEM
I ordered this brush roll as a replacement to my original XL21 brush in which the bearings seized. I was unaware that I was purchasing an aftermarket brush roll.
Upon initial inspection, I noticed that the brush roll I received was heavier than the original. The edges of the brush roll are of a cast aluminum construction as opposed to the molded plastic of the original. The brush roll installed as easily and fits as well as the OEM.
In regard to performance, I can only speculate as I have conducted no scientific tests. I would guess however that the overall cleansing performance of the brush roll is similar to that of the original as the roll is very similar in design with very similar bristles and brush pattern.
I would definitely recommend this brush roll for those seeking a lower cost alternative to that of the original XL21 brush roll as the performance and quality seems to almost mirror that of the original.
Not genuine, but it works...
Just like the other reviewer stated the title for this item is misleading. While it has been working fine for the last few months, it didn't fit the vacuum perfectly. The size of the unit I received was maybe a 8th to a 16th inch too wide, but fit nonetheless.
Oreck xl brush
Came, fit perfect and was same as factory part, but much much lower price then going to oreck for the same part. Works as good as when new and is 8 years old.
