Genuine Oreck POD refills fit the Oreck Cordless Vacuum with POD Technology, the BK51700 series. Each pack holds five self-sealing Type P1 PODs that collect the dirt and close up for mess-free disposal. These are vacuum dirt containers, not air purifier filters.
Fits these Oreck vacuums
- Oreck Cordless Vacuum with POD Technology (BK51700 series, including the BK51702)
Not for Oreck air purifiers or bagged vacuums. Oreck air purifiers use their own filters, and Oreck's bagged uprights and canisters take paper bags such as Type CC, Style LW or Type BB.
Not sure you have the POD vacuum? The POD vacuum is Oreck's lightweight cordless stick vacuum with a display that shows a POD indicator light. Check for a BK517 model number on its label, or send it to us and we'll confirm the fit.
What it does
-
Self-sealing disposal. Oreck says the POD seals itself to hold in dust and dirt, so you can drop it in the trash without touching the dirt.
-
Expands as it fills. The POD's sides expand to pack in more debris before it needs changing.
-
Type P1. Oreck labels these refills Type P1 for the BK51700 series.

When to replace it
-
When the light flashes red: Oreck says the POD indicator flashes red on the vacuum's display when it's time for a new refill.
-
Typical interval: Oreck says most people replace the POD every one to three months, depending on home size, flooring, how often you vacuum, and the people and pets in the home.
-
Powders can trigger it early: baby powder, drywall dust or baking soda can set off the red POD light before the POD is full. If it keeps flashing, replace the refill.
-
Orange light: Oreck says to remove the canister and replace the POD, and to check for debris backed up at the inlet valve or a clog in the vacuum.
Expert tip
"If the POD light comes on early, think about what you just picked up. Fine powders coat the POD and trigger the light long before it's full. Save the cordless for everyday crumbs and pet hair, and use a bagged vacuum for drywall dust or spilled powder."
