Happy Monday, y’all! I’m so excited to share my new vacuum love with you! I’ve been without a vacuum cleaner for almost a year – our previous house didn’t have any carpeting, so I swept with a good old fashioned broom. Yikes, that took a long time! The cheapo vacuum that we owned before that came apart every time it was used. Not so fun. Enter the brand new…
Oreck Magnesium Vacuum Cleaner
Can I just say that the incredible Oreck Magnesium Vacuum Cleaner and Ultimate Handheld Vac have been not only a huge blessing to my house cleaning tasks, but they are a dream to use!
I can’t get over how light the Oreck Magnesium is, yet how much power it packs! Wow. I barely have to push or pull the vacuum because it just glides along. My engineering husband is amazed at how the Magnesium operates!

I love the two speed Quickswitch which enables me to move smoothly across all floor types using appropriate power level – see, I told you. A dream. Cleaning from room to room of not-so-beautiful rental house carpet to 150 year old gorgeous hardwoods is a breeze.

Besides that, the vacuum head is so flat that I can easily clean under furniture. Oh, and did I mention the cord? It is 30 feet long, y’all! Can you hear me hollering “freeeeeedommmm” in a Braveheart kind of way? Ahem.
Dust seems to accumulate everywhere at my house. Surely I’m not alone, right?? Haha! The New Ultimate Handheld Vac is a perfect solution. Weighing only five pounds and having a handheld or shoulder strap makes cleaning furniture, walls, light fixtures and blinds so easy. It has five accessories including an extension arm, dusting brush, crevice tool, upholstery tool and a large floor tool.

Okay, enough about me extolling the beauty of the Oreck Magnesium and Handheld Vac. I’m sure you’re ready to find out how you can win the glorious combo of an Oreck Magnesium and the Ultimate Handheld Vac, right?

Aaahh, how I would love to have a great vacuum! Love that it lays almost flat (since I have hardwood/tile floors in all but one room of my house) and the HEPA filter would be a dream for my allergies!
Thanks so much for the great giveaway!

I visited the Oreck site and learned about the Quickswitch that you use depending what type of surface you are vacuuming. Would love to win this and replace my cheapo vacuum cleaner.
Love that it is light. I might be able to vacuum with a baby in my arms without killing myself
I also love the filter for my allergy-prone daughter!

Please oh please the vacuum gods listen to my plea & let me win this amazing vacuum!
Liked Oreck on FB too!
Wow! whoever thought of using a vacuum cleaner ABOVE the floor. It never occurred to me till I read about the handheld vac. Thanks for sharing!
Wow, the Oreck Magnesium uses a HEPA inner bag and has the Saniseal® System which automatically seals it shut! No more dust blowing back on you when you vacuum!
“Liked” on Facebook too!
Shared on FB too, just for good measure!
Being the wife of a mechanic, I like that it has cylindrical wheel bearings so that it is easy to move around! Thanks for the chance to win; I need a new vacuum. I, and my children, have bad allergies, and we need a vacuum that will help us with this issue! Thanks again, and I hope to win!!
Wow, this vac looks awesome to use on the stairs! I really like that the Magnesium frame is durable, stronger than many kinds of steel. It should last for years! This is an awesome giveaway prize. Happy New Year!
and I “liked” the Oreck Facebook page! Thanks again!!
I love that the wreck has a 30 foot cord and light weight
My 90 year old mother likes to vacuum, but our vac cleaner is too heavy for her to use. One of the best features about the Oreck is its magnesium frame is stronger than many types of steel yet it light (less than 8 lbs.)
I visited Oreck.com and learned that this vacuum works on all types of flooring and acts like it is self propelled. Awesome. I would love to win this.
I liked Oreck on facebook.
I would sooooo enjoy and love to own the lightest, full-powered upright in America!!!!
: ). Happy New Year!!
I like that it glides – I have a shoulder injury and perhaps this vacuum would be easy for me to handle. My vacuum is so old and heavy I hardly even clean the floors anymore
I loved that it is lightweight with the full power of a full size vacuum. I follow you on Facebook and receive your emails.

I learned this interesting tidbit: the handheld has a 20foot power cord and 5 foot slinky hose. WoW! could almost leave the machine at the bottom of the steps and get the whole job done without dragging it up the steps… but “Dragging it up the steps” is even out since it is so lightweight.

Here’s to a clean and shiny 2012!
Amazing that the handheld vac comes with a telescoping extension rod and 2-position shoulder strap! Sounds like a great product! If I were to win the giveaway, it would go to my sister who has wall-to-wall carpet, 2 small kids, and no working vacuum cleaner.
I also “liked” Oreck on Facebook.
With an asthmatic in the house, this is a good thing…
Magnesium uses a HEPA inner bag. As air passes through the HEPA inner bag, it captures at least 99.97% of particles as small as .3 microns from that air, such as pollen, dust, smoke, animal dander and mold spores.

Liked them on facebook and I love that there are two HEPA filters… the bag and the main vacuum! Keep counting my blessings!
to start the New Year with a new vacuum cleaner from Oreck would be wonderful, especially one that is so powerful that you think it’s self propelled. I keep my grandchildren and my floor is well used! Thank YOU and Happy 2012!
It has a hepa filter and 2 speeds. Hi Myra!
I just tweeted about the giveaway.
The fact that it is so lightweight but does the job of a full vacuum!

This vacuum has a twenty foot power cord AND a five foot hose on it! Sounds like heaven on a cord to me!
Love a HEPA filter and also that it goes flat for under the bed and furniture..and it is very light…being disabled in a wheelchair, that is a big bonus!!! Thank you for this opportunity! Happy New Year!

Love that it has setting for hardwood as well as carpet. Also the maneuverability is a huge benefit. With three little boys and two dogs, this would be a wonderful blessing. Especially the handheld vac – Love the telescoping attachments. Our very old vacuum doesn’t even reach the ceiling to clean the cobwebs out of the corners.
I did “like” on Facebook. Don’t have a Twitter account
The HEPA filter would be a huge plus for those with allergies!
