That doesn't look very easy to break.

only kids, women and morons buy over priced, expensive plastic POS vacs to suck buggers, dog hair and ju-ju beads when a $79 to $129 "throw away" vac works just as well
and when it wears, breaks or "uglies out" from crew abuse, you buy a brand spanking new one

You're not making me feel warm and fuzzy in my innards.

Pay no attention to Him.

I’ve got a black bissel sitting in my truck $79 that I gave up on using because it fails miserably on trashed, unvacced carpet. I have about 30bags if you want it for free, come get it

That was hilarious, but I’m not clicking the thumbs up. Nope, I’m not doing it. Beg me all you want, I’m not clicking it
I got one, but I need an edger.

Go to the hardware store and get a piece of aluminum flat metal.
Take those Phillips screws out of the top.
Slip aluminum under the bottom side and even consider pop rivets to hold new strap on back side for support
Now mount the hinge pop rivets (new ones) to the metal where busted out.
You should be able to make that work for a few bucks and don't have to wait for replacement parts

Well, I just ordered the part I need to fix it. Cost me $15 with shipping. That's the thing I love about my Proteam. I break something and partswarehouse.com has every part I need for it.

Well worth it to get that correct part
@Mikey P You should bookmark this page since you seem to be stocking warehouses with Orecks, 10" CRB's, and little red handles.
https://www.partswarehouse.com/Oreck-XL9300MS-s/2920.htm
Their prices are pretty good.

My vacuum came with this.
I see a new season's best seller on the charts!

Damon have you ever noticed how the pile seems totally unaffected by the brush roll on that piece of crap?
I think it works good. Pulls up the solids happily. The Oreck beater bar is superior and I love the large bag, but it will also give you a workout pushing against the nap. We love our Oreck in our house. The Kirby is also good but it’s just so heavy and no edger. My Dysons don’t last and are a bitch to fix when they break. My ProTeam seems to be an acceptable compromise.

Some of the girls that clean for me during the summer love the Orecks. They use either a broom or an old grout brush to go along the base boards. It’s actually faster than it seems.
Especially when the painters have sprayed rooms that haven’t been vacuumed in years. The hair/ paint overspray on the edges is frustrating. But they just run a stiff brush around the ashes and the little Oreck picks it up. Burns up belts on the thick stuff. But not any worse that any other vac I’ve tried.

Sweeping is quicker, especially with lots of hard. It is nice to do along with edging with vac. I do sweep method on my janitorial accounts often.
I hate that VAC. It sucks.
I tried taking a little advice from a couple old guys on here, saying that the cheap vacuums do just as good of a job.I hate that VAC. It sucks.
did I mention that my Royal was in the background just screaming away at sucking up all the stuck on pig poo and wood chips like it was candy? No? Oh yeah. MY ROYAL WAS IN THE BACKGROUND JUST SCREAMING AWAY AT SUCKING UP ALL THE STUCK ON PIG POO AND WOOD CHIPS LIKE IT WAS CANDY!!!!!
SCREW THE CHEAPO VACUUMS
By the way...that Orek would've got clogged up in that little 1-1.25" channel of tubing in no time on this job
