AMAZING Oreck Vacuum {and Handheld Vac} Giveaway

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? 🙂

    1. @raina, The Oreck Magnesium is self-propelled and can use on all types of floors high carpet to hardwood and tile. I would love to own one!! Thanks

  1. I love the feature of manuervability for high pile carpets! Yay! Alot of the light weights do well on floors but not high pile carpets so thats exciting!

  2. I found that it has a direct route for the dirt to go to the bag. Hopefully that will mean less clogging.

  3. I like the “dirty-air system” that breaks the dirt up into smaller particles by the fan. It will also fit under my furniture easily. Sounds like a great vacuum!

  4. WoW! Fabulous giveaway! I need a new vacuum so badly. My son has asthma and we have to vacuum a lot! Our vacuum is so heavy. I learned that the Oreck Magnesium weighs on 7.7 lbs. That will feel like a feather compared to the one we have 🙂

    Thanks for the opportunity to enter.
    Blessings,
    Amy

  5. I learned that it will go completely flat to get under furniture. That would be so great for under the bed.

  7. I learned more about the quickswitch! It’s great that it’s gentle enough for oriental/persian rugs! But I need it for the power (carpets, dog and a lot of carpet)!!

  8. Wow. It lays virtually flat!!! Perfect for all kinds of surfaces. I have hardwoods and carpets and could seriously use one of these vacuum cleaners! 🙂

  9. I love that it has a hepa filter bag!! Not wild about my canister vaccum, seems like i am getting a lot of the dust back into the air when dumping it out.

  10. I think it sounds great but I think the fact that it lays flat would change the entire way I vacuum. Less furniture moving!

  11. It has a direct suction path different than the bagless ones that have dirt travel in all kinds of crazy ways. Awesome!!

  12. It is powerful enough for carpet yet gentle enough for oriental rugs, and as a bonus it is not a heavy or bulky vaccum…also love that it lays flat makes it great for under the couch or for storing……

  13. Just visited the Oreck website and read about the Magnesium. Oh how I would love a nice lightweight vacuum like this! The one feature I read about was how it can lay flat for cleaning under furniture. That would be great for getting under those beds!

  14. I LOVE that it has a quick switch to move from hard floors to carpet! That would be such an awesome feature since all levels of our house have both types of flooring.

  15. I love that this Oreck Vacuum cleans thouroughly enough that it only takes one pass through the carpet or floor and you dont have to keep going over areas that you have already vacuumed! We have a german shephard and she sheds like crazy! It would be awesome to win this giveaway!

  16. I learned is very light and easy to use, easy to push through high pile carpet, comes with accessories to help tackle every job. It has a 3 year guarantee

  17. I learned that it has a inner HEPA bag. That means alot to people that has a child with severe asthma.

  18. That it has headlights, so you can see what you are doing as you get under small dark spaces ,which it says is easy because it lays virtually flat . And the handheld has a shoulder strap!!!! I love that 🙂

  19. Great giveaway; I’m definitely interested in learning more about this super vacuum! What doesn’t it do? 🙂 I like the two speed quick switch feature, our latest model at home doesn’t have the option. I also like that it’s gentle enough for fine or expensive rugs too. The handheld vac looks like it’s just the bee’s knees though … I can see vacuuming out the car being much easier with it’s help!

    Thanks for hosting this AMAZING giveaway!

    Happy Holidays!

  20. I love that you can use it on hardwood!!! I’ve had the same vacuum for 15 years…and it has lost all suction in the attachment thingy…and smells like decade old Christmas tree every time we vacuum…so I’m kinds stoked about this!
    Victoria´s last blog post ..God Ain’t Sorry

  21. I learned that you can use it on all types of floors – from hardwood to thick carpet – awesome! Thanks for the opportunity to enter such a great giveaway!!

  22. I could SO use this vaccum cleaner. Ease of use, ease of switching floor surfaces, the ability to clean under furniture with the flatter head, What a find!

  23. I love that the 102mph of airflow makes for direction suction and ultimately a lighter vacume. I’m in love!

  24. Oh, my! Your blog got me excited about cleaning house. I would put it off for a few years because I did not like my vacuum cleaner. My body would ache afterwards carrying it from room to room and switching the lever from floor to area carpets with a short cord. I went through three vacuum cleaners because they were broken. After checking the Oreck website, I learned that they have a 7 year limited warranty and 3 annual tune ups. That tells me this may be the best quality vacuum cleaner I will ever had and I will be happy to clean house again!

  25. Perfect vac for helping my elderly mom in her little house. Light enough for her to use, but lots of features and attachments to reach those hard to clean areas. Easy to push around! Hope I win it for her!

  26. I learned it produces 102 mph of airflow. Which is perfect for this house, as we live in the dustiest part of the state. We live across the street from an almond orchard, and it is amazing how much dirt we get in our house. Thanks for the giveaway. 🙂

  27. It lays almost completely flat to get way under furniture. Yay, would be able to get all the way under the kids bunkbeds!

  28. Bless your heart for sharing this great news about the Oreck vacuum. I’ve heard of them but have never had the privilege of using one.

    The fact that this vacuum cleaner lays flat for getting under furniture is a big plus to me. Dust bunnies beware!

    Here’s to hoping I’m a winner. 🙂

  29. I just visited Oreck.com and discovered that the new Magnesium Oreck has an inner HEPA bag.

    The HEPA filtration is especially important around our house since we have a daughter with asthma.

    Thank you for offering such a great giveaway!

  30. I learned that the new Magnesium Vacuum is even gentle enough for fine Oriental and Persian rugs (not that I would need to worry about that).

  31. It is the lightest, full-powered upright in America. That is important to me as I have two flights of steps! Maybe Christmas money will go to getting one. Or at least start the funding for it. Heehee!

  32. I love the 2-setting strap for carrying the vacuum! My arms always get so sore carrying our current vacuum up and down the stairs in our home, so this would be a real blessing!

  33. I learned that it is lightweight…lies flat to get under furniture yeahhhh…………..safe for my area carpets…and too expensive for me ever to buy on my own 😉 add to my wish list 🙂 xoxo

  34. I love that the handheld has an over the shoulder strap for easy carrying and especially love that 7 year limited warranty! This would be the perfect vacuum to have as we move into our first home!

  35. It can lay completely flat to vacuum under furniture! So COOL!! Plus it is gentle enough for oriental carpets, yet strong enough for flat surfaces like tile!

  36. I just checked out the website and I can’t believe the handheld only weighs 5 pounds! That us amazing! Crossing my fingers that I win!!!

  37. I learned that you make a great pitch! Most of what I read on the site, I already new because you had already told us! I did learn from their site though about the 3 year limited warranty which is really nice, most vacuums expire after 1 year so with a 3 year backing, you know it’s a good machine!

    cynthiabrowneller (at) gmail

  38. I learned that the HEPA bag captures 99.97% of dust particles. That’s a great feature! Thanks for the chance to win!

  39. Learned about how easy it is to maneuver and how light it is. Also that they guarantee that its a one pass vacuum and glides from carpets to bare floors easily.

  40. I tweeted about the giveaway! P.S. sweeping your whole house with a broom sounds like a nightmare! Sweeping is near the top of my Chore Hate list.

  41. What I learned was that The Oreck® Magnesium weighs less than 8 lbs.* and is the lightest full-powered vacuum in America. That makes it a dream to use and it get’s the job done the first time.

  42. So…you said it’s great for cleaning under furniture, but I didn’t realize how good you meant until I saw the picture of the lay-flat picture…cool!

  43. Learned it will lay flat enough to go under furniture for cleaning. Sounds like a great feature…I really dislike moving the furniture.

  44. I learned that it has a 3 year warranty!!! I would love this vacuum for my old house with all the dust!

  45. I would loove to have this vac because it is the lightest weight but the most powerful! It also has a HEPA filter which would help my allergies and great cleaning for my dog and two cats! Thank you!

  46. I love that it’s lightweight and the slinky hose extends up to 5 ft – that’s seriously helpful to me when I’m trying to clean large areas while my 2 yr old dances around the vacuum (-:

  47. This looks like the coolest vacuum ever! I love that the smaller one has a shoulder strap so its easier to carry around while you’re using it. And I have to say when I read that it had a 30 ft chord, that’s awesome too!

  48. This looks like the coolest vacuum ever! I love that the smaller one has a shoulder strap so its easier to carry around while you’re using it. And I have to say when I read that it had a 30 ft chord, that’s awesome too!

  49. Heres my tidbit from Oreck’s website: The Oreck comes with a HEPA filter – great for those with allergies or even for those who live in a desert type environment!

    OOOOHHHH I LOVE ORECK! I had one many, many years ago and it was fantastic, I passed it on to my oldest daughter when she moved out of state!
    I’ve been looking to purchase a new one, mostly because we bought a vacuum just eight months ago and the stair attachment beater brush quit working already. We have no warranty. MS has given me muscle tremors and weak muscles, couple that with Grave’s disease related arthritis and I am struggling with the carpet on the stairs. Hubby has tried it, but we have a cat and two dogs and I really want them fully vacuumed (sorry Mark)!

    We are considering purchasing JUST the little hand held Oreck for our stairs only, but what a blessing it would be to win BOTH!!!!

    Let’s face it, they are pricey, but oh so worth it! They last forever (unlike the cheap-o vac we just bought)!

  50. The Magnesium has 102 mph of air flow! I wonder if that is fast enough to suck up all my hair?!? Most vacs I have used before my hair gets stuck in the rollers and then it ends up burning up the belt and then its ruined. I go through a lot of vacuums with my long blonde hair.

  51. This vacuum looks so wonderful. In Texas, we have a lot of dust and a lot of dirt with a husband, three kiddos, and a dog. The Oreck® Magnesium weighs less than 8 lbs.* and is the lightest full-powered vacuum in America. Its magnesium frame is stronger than many types of steel yet this is the lightest upright Oreck has ever offered. Magnesium makes it light; Oreck makes it powerful.
    In this house, it would be put to good use!

  52. It’s the lightest vac, in America! Would love to have the handheld for my stairs, where our black lab loves to pace up and down!

  53. I learned that they have 2 speeds and use a hepa inner filter. I need a vacuum so badly and I like Oreck on facebook.

  54. It has two-setting shoulder strap for carrying by hand or over the shoulder. Nice! I have an Oreck upright and love it!

  55. WOW!! I learned that I want one!! The HEPA filter trips my trigger!!My carpet is 30 years old and so is my vacuum cleaner!HA!HA! Maybe this vacuum would even make my carpet look better!!

  56. I learned that this vacuum weights less than my 1 month old…which would be a dream! I can’t even lug our huge vacuum up our stairs, and it does absolutely nothing to help get the dust & cat fuzzies off our wood floors – this would be lovely!
    Crystal´s last blog post ..Right Now…

  57. The Magnesium produces 102 mph of airflow and my Bissell does not! We live in the dustiest house ever, it’s quite a chore doing the baseboards every week.

  58. You did such a great job with your review, I was doubtful I’d learn anything new on the Oreck site! 🙂 but I read more about that dual speed switch and I gotta say…….it seems like a must have! great giveaway ~ thanks for the chance to win!

  59. 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. Now that just one of the things I learned. WOW, lots of folks want this remarkable gift! Thanks for the opportunity.

  60. I love the way it lays flat to vacuum under furniture, and it’s light enough to use on the stairs. I also like that with the QuickSwitch it can go from hard floors to carpet easily. My vacuum is old and sooo heavy – winning the Magnesium would be a dream come true.

  61. My parents have had an Oreck for YEARS and I love vacuuming at their house. 🙂 I love the seven year warranty with three yearly checkups! Definitely a long lasting investment.

  62. Wow, I didn’t know that it lays flat to get under furniture. I did some deep cleaning this weekend and had to use the attachments to get under beds and dressers that I can’t move….how cool that the Oreck would’ve allowed me to skip that step! I’ve heard great things about Oreck and would love one for myself. 🙂

  63. I learned that I really really want one!! 🙂 Also has a 20 ft cord which is fantastic! nlevdan3 at yahoo dot com

  64. When I clicked on the blue link, “compare all upright models,” it shows that the height adjustment is automatic. I’m not sure what that means, but it sounds really good.

  65. This sounds like an amazing vacuum! I didn’t know that it is the lightest full-powered upright vacuum in America!! My old one is 23 years old and a new one would be great!

  66. I learned that it is lightweight which is a huge plus for me and it cleans efficiently. I found it very interesting and would love to win one.

  67. Oh please let me win this!!!!! This new Oreck looks great! I learned that it will fold almost flat (perfect for getting under furniture!)

  68. I found out that it lies flat for easy cleaning under furniture, which is a major selling point to me! Thanks for a great giveaway!!

  69. I learned that the large rear wheels help it to clean even thicker pile carpet. Sounds great and hope to win!

  70. “Best of all, it lays virtually flat for easy cleaning under furniture”
    finally! i always know mine won’t fit under the couch but that doesn’t keep me from trying.

  71. I think the ability to use it as a push vacuum and on the shoulder vac adds good flexibility in use and light enough to handle.

  72. it’s the lightest, full-powered upright vacuum in America. With its extremely strong, durable magnesium frame, the Magnesium™ packs all the power you expect from an Oreck vacuum — so much power it feels like it’s self-propelled on most surfaces

  73. Whoa. Sounds amazing but learning that it is 599.99…ouch. I learned it’s out of my price range. sigh. thanks for the opportunity to win!

  74. Wow, what a wonderful giveaway. I like the fact that this vacuum virtually lays flat so you can vacuum UNDER the furniture!!

  75. The Oreck Vacuum has a two speed Quickswitch. That would be awesome to have especially when changing from slate flooring to carpet. 🙂

  76. An Equation:
    2 Dogs+
    1 Cat+
    1 Infant=
    A lot of vacuuming…
    Light weight+
    Maneuverability +
    Hepa Filter =
    Dream come true!

  77. I learned that the Oreck Magnesium vacuum is super light and is good for all floor surfaces. I think it would be perfect for our home and my 4 year old son, who loves vacuums so much that he asked Santa for a real one for the second year in a row, would be ecstatic – even if it isn’t the red ball Dyson from Target that he asked for. 😉

  78. It comes with a limited 3 year warranty – that’s great! My parents and Grandma both love their Orecks, and I’d love one for our home too!

  79. “The Magnesium produces 102 mph of airflow”! Wowsers! Sounds powerful.
    My mom has an Oreck and loves hers. I have old carpet, and cheap plastic vacuum with a hose that always detaches when I use it.
    This would be a huge blessing to have in our home!

  80. I like the idea that it lays flat to vacuum under furniture and how light weight it is . Thanks for opportunity to win a new vacuum!

  81. I learned that the Oreck on weights 8 lbs., which makes it the lightest vacuum in America. And yet the magnesium frame is stronger than many types of steel. Thank your for this giveaway!

  82. I learned~
    “Best of all, it lays virtually flat for easy cleaning under furniture.”

    This is a feature that would get a serious workout in this house! Thanks for hosting the giveaway.

  83. I follow them on FB! No pressure, but my vacuum just broke….and it is Christmas…..and I have been really good this year…….

  84. I like the fact that this vacuum goes high for carpets and low for hardwood and tile. Some vacuums don’t do that.

  85. I liked on Facebook and found out the Magnesium has an inner HEPA bag, which would be great for us, because we have allergies and that helps to filter dust, etc. I also like how you can smoothly go from one surface to another:)

  86. I love it that this Oreck vacuum can be used on any floor type and is so powerful that it feels self-propelled. It would make my work feel less like work! 🙂

  87. I learned that it is Lightweight < 8 lbs.. for me that is almost a deal breaker as I have difficulty with lifting anything heavy. I learned that even tho I have some trouble manuevering myself.. I won't have any trouble with the Oreck. And I learned that as it cleans it is not "dirtying the air" with dust from exhaust… Can I get a witness? HEPA .. so the biggest blessing I learned.. is that you got one ! that.. in and of itself. made my day! Happy Clean House!

  88. I learned the Magnesium vacuum is Oreck’s lightest vacuum yet. I’ve always wanted to own an Oreck because they are so lightweight- this one would be perfect!

  89. Learned that it lies virtually flat to get under furniture!
    (We desperately need a new sweeper…)

  90. I learned several things and all would be helpful. I have checked into Oreck vacuums before but I learned today they have tune ups as part of the warranty.

  91. I learned that not only is this vacuum the lightest oreck vacuum but it is also a full powered upright vacuum!

  92. I liked the Hepa filter and was truly interested in the cylindrical wheels. My vacuum, was supposed to be self-powered, but has no manuverability. Now that I am older, that is a biggie.

  93. What I learned when I visited the Oreck website is that this new vacuum has so much power it feels like it’s self-propelled on most surfaces. Wow, that is awesome and this is a great giveaway. Thanks!!

  94. Love the fact that the Oreck is lightweight and fits under most furniture. Thanks for the opportunity to win this great vacuum.

  95. I had no idea Oreck came with hepa filters built in. 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. — That is brilliant! With my allergies, that would work wonders!

  96. ohhhh…. awesome giveaway. Learned about the uber-long cord. Awesome. Love how you can get under furniture too!

  97. I learned it has a 20 ft. power cord. I have to keep an extension cord plugged into mine now and that still does not make it long enough. Great give away. I have heard nothing but good things about Oreck.

  98. I learned that not only is this considered the lightest vacuum ever, but it’s gentle enough on rugs and can lay flat to reach under furniture. Wow. 🙂 creedamy [at] yahoo[dot] com

  99. I learned that the Magnesium has a very low profile, and a nearly “lay-flat” option to get under furniure. Thanks for the opportunity!

  100. A 7 year warranty! I think that is amazing! It seems like most companies give you a year…so this vac must be a very reliable dirt sucking machine!

  101. My daughter has problems with her hands/wrists and I would love to win this light weight Oreck for her. Thanks for the opportunity!

  102. If you don’t win the giveaway the payments are only $40.90 a month. And I love that it lays almost flat to get under furniture!

  103. Hi, I was looking at an old posting of yours about the hurricane vases you made and liked it so much that I wanted to look at your other postings and came across this.
    I popped over to “Oreck” and learned that even though it has bags it has a hepa filter and it looks like emptying or changing the bag will be just as easy as the canister type vacuums.
    I also learned that I’d really, really like one!! AND I like your blog!

  104. The Oreck Magnesium offers one-pass cleaning so it picks up dirt in virtually one pass and glides from carpets to bare floors. I’m so sick of having to vacuum over the same spots again and again with my current vac!

  105. It weighs less than eight pounds! It is the lightest full size vacuum in America. This would be wonderful for my back!

  106. I learned that it has The two speed Quickswitch™. This would work well in our house since we have carpet in some and hardwood in others.

  107. I learned that it had a HEPA filter and that the bag closes so no dust escapes when you change the bag.

  108. I learned Oreck uses a HEPA filter with the saniseal bag system. This would be great for my household with our allergies.

  109. The Magnesium has been awarded the “GOLD rating” by the Carpet and Rug Institute for its’ exceptional cleaning ability. This is their highest award possible.

  110. Lightest Oreck ever–weighs about 7.7 lbs. Arthritis makes it hard to clean like I want to…simple tasks like cleaning floors often times go undone. This would be perfect for us “older generation” to guide thru the house.

  111. I’ve learned that it now has a HEPA filter!!!!! I already knew that they have crazy long cords so you can pretty much go anywhere you want without having to plug it in somewhere else!

  112. I learned that the Oreck Magnesium is less than 8 lbs – just 7.7 lbs! I’m tired of lugging heavy vacuums around! Please enter me for a chance to win!
    Leslie Anne

  113. I learned the Oreck Magnesium Vacuum has a 2 speed Quickswitch on the back. that will make it so much easier to switch from one surface to a different surface.

  114. I learned that you can use it on ALL floor types which is a HUGE selling point to me since we have 3 different types of flooring in our house!!

  115. One thing I learned is that the Oreck Magnesium is super light weight, but it’s powerful enought I pick up tough messes. I would really love to haw this vacuum for my carpets, my vacuum just isn’t cutting it!

  116. I would love to win this sweeper. We just rescued a dog after ours passed away 3 years ago and I have forgotten how much hair they leave around..

  117. i went and saw that it is made of magnesium but it acts like it is self propelled. interesting.and it lays virtually flat though it seems big so you can vacum under most furniture.. it looked most amazing.

  118. Oh how I would love a new vacuum cleaner, mine is on its last suction. Found out the Oreck Magnesium lays virtually flat for easy cleaning under furniture and has an inner hepa filter!

  119. I learned that the Oreck Magnesium produces 102 mph of airflow! Now if only I could move that fast, too 🙂

  120. I learned is that the Oreck Magnesium is powerful and super light weight, would love to have it! Thank you and Best Of Luck To Everyone!

  121. I love that the vaccum has a 30 foot cord, but it is lso nice that the hand held has a 20 ft cord! I hate having to move the plug!

  122. I learned that it is actually made from magnesium, a super light durable material, which is why the Oreck Magnesium vacuum is so light yet powerful!

  123. I learned that the two speed Quickswitch™ on the back of the vacuum enables you to use the vacuum on carpets, hardwoods, and tile! “It’s even gentle enough for fine Oriental and Persian rugs.” With a 2-year-old running around the house, my rug is constantly full of ground-in crumbs, and my current vacuum just can’t cut it. Has anyone else had the tedious pleasure of going around on hands and knees picking up crumbs using strips of tape between period (and expensive) cleanings?!

  124. It uses 1/3 the energy of the leading upright !! Yippee! I’m drooling like Homer Simpson! Thank you for the chance!!

  125. It’s 50% lighter than the leading upright. We do not like the vacuum we have – it’s very heavy and my kids have to lug it upstairs all the time for their bedrooms and it’s tough for them to do. Plus the accessories are always falling off!

  126. It is lightweight and has a convenient Quickswitch thing on the back so you can switch from carpet to bare floors easily.

    Very cool!

  127. Wow! Love me some Oreck!! And love that the new Magnesium is still a lightweight vacuum at under 8lbs! Awesome 🙂

  128. I just vacuumed today. I really would like to have a new vacuum cleaner that is lightweight and I can go from room to room without huffing and puffing. I learned on the website that this Oreck goes flat. That would be great to get the dust out from under the beds without moving the beds! Awesome! Please vote for me.

  129. I lIke that it lays flat and weigh less then 8lbs I also like that it has a handheld attatchment for the stairs and vacumming out the couch!!!

  130. Followed your instructions. 360 spin, light weight but gets the job done, hepa inner bag and no reviews as of yet. 🙂

  131. Love the 7 year warranty and 3 year tune ups. I have owned an Oreck before and those tune ups are awesome, but had to pay for mine.

  132. I learned that it is really light and that I could choose different levels so it would be easy to go from my carpet to hardwood floors

  133. Love the look of this new Oreck! How wonderful that it only weighs 8lbs has a HEPA filter & a 30 foot cord! Sounds like a dream! The added bonus of the Ultimate Handheld Vac how can you go wrong? With a house full of stairs ( some carpet, some not) two children ( 6 & 2) a dog, cat & a very bad back, this would cut my cleaning time ( and pain!! ) in half, I bet! Who wouldn’t love to own this vacuum??

  134. I liked Oreck on FB!! Thank you for the contest and all you do! ( LOVE that you have a link to Family Talk on your home page!! :o)

  135. I would love to try this Oreck Magnesium. I have an old upright Oreck that still works great (purchased in 2001), but it doesn’t lie flat to go under beds, etc., which is one of the things I don’t like about it. Also have the old handheld vacuum that is ok. With new technology and styling it would be awesome to win this set!

  136. I learned that it feels like it is self-propelled on most surfaces!! WOW! Would love to have a vacuum that feels like that. Thanks!

  137. I visited the website and learned that this vac is less than eight pounds. Wow! I’d love to win this little treasure!

  138. It’s very cool that this vacuum’s filter captures 99.97% of the dirt– for our allergy prone family this is a must. I also like that it lays flat to make sweeping under beds a breeze.

  139. The Oreck Magnesium is the most lightweight vacuum in America and goes flat to get under furniture. that is awesome.

  140. At Oreck.com I learned that it has a 2 speed Quickswitch…wow, I could clean my whole house with one machine!!

  141. The Saniseal® System automatically seals shut, locking dirt in the disposable filter bag and ensuring a strong seal. The the filter system!

  142. I love that it virtually lays flat and it is very light and powerful! Looks like an awesome vacuum and I love Oreck vacuums! I have one that is like 20 years old an still working well.

  143. The Magnesium is lightweight and lays pretty flat for easy cleaning under furniture. I love that it is lightweight, because I have 3 levels to vacuum, and two flights of stairs! Whew!

  144. I liked them on Facebook. I like how lightweight the vacuum cleaner is. I need a new one for my upstairs!

  145. Three annual tune-ups are included and can be used to replace worn/damaged seals. Awesome sounding vacuum! 🙂

  146. “The large high-performance rear wheels with cylindrical wheel bearings give the Magnesium maneuverability, making it easy to push through high-pile carpet.” ……dream come true for a girl that has a favorite high-pile purple rug along with 3 doggies who love to take naps on her favorite purple rug!

  147. What I love about the Magnesium (besides that it’s cute!) is that is has a 7 yr warranty with 3 tune-ups! I live outside of Indianapolis and there’s an Oreck store so that would be great! (assuming of course that’s where I’d take it for the tune-up! haha)

  148. I love the combo of the standing vacuum and the hand held vacuum. It seems like the perfect fit for my home.

  149. I learned that it has a HEPA inner bag which will catch the lovely golden retriever dander in my house and that The Saniseal® System automatically seals shut, locking dirt in the disposable filter bag and ensuring a strong seal.

  150. I learned that the Oreck magnesium has a HEPA inner bag that captures at least 99.97% of particles as small as .3 microns

  151. I learned this vacuum is only 7.7 lbs!! and has a longlasting Endurolife Belt! I would really love to have a light weight vac. And I’ve already replaced the belt twice on my less than 2yr old vac! 🙁 Please pick me – *jumps up and down waving her hand wildly*

  152. There is a HEPA Inner Bag 🙂 and I like the Quickswitch option for carpet vs. hardwood/tile floors! Sweetness!

  153. I learned that the Oreck Magnesium has a Long-lasting Endurolife Belt. I like that because I so dislike it when a belt breaks and has to be replaced.

  155. I “Liked” Oreck on fb. The Oreck Magnesium Vacuum Cleaner Combo is Lightweight & Easy To Use — Powers Through Dirt — HEPA Inner Bag — and I would love to be it’s new owner!!

  156. The Oreck® Magnesium weighs less than 8 lbs-just exactly what I need. I have fibromyalgia and 3 cats and sometimes the hair takes over because I am unable to vacume!

  157. I learned that it’s certified from the carpet and rug institute! Here’s to hoping I win, I would really love to give my Mom a new Vaccum, ours is on it’s last breath!

  158. We just moved from a house w/ all hardwood floors to a carpeted floors. With three small little ones, this would be such a blessing! Thanks for the great giveaway! Happy New Year!!!

  159. it has two different power settings for different flooring types.

    oh, i’m crossing my fingers for this machine! 😀

  160. What an awesome vacuum. I learned it uses bags. I wonder how much they cost? My vacuum hardly works, sometimes i wonder why I even bother 🙂

  161. This would be amazing for the house we just moved into with a majority of hard wood floors. So cool that is lays flat and has lights!

  162. Oooh, a HEPA filter and it lays almost flat!!!! The carpet under our bed needs vacuumed so badly (3 cats)…. Icky! Icky! Thank you for hosting the giveaway.

  163. I like the quickswitch feature my house has a mix of tile and carpet would be nice feature. The oreck vaccum is the only vacuum my daughter doesn’t cry when it’s on!

  164. It’s lightweight which would be awesome on my soft wood pine floors…it’s maneuverable which would be awesome because I have way to much furniture to vacuum around! 🙂

  165. Glad to know it is light enough for ALL the kids to be able to use for chore time! The toddler will be thrilled. 🙂

  166. Ahhh, how I would love to have a great vacuum! Thanks for the awesome giveaway. I love that the vacuum lays almost flat and has the hepa filter –would be a dream for my allergies!

  167. 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!

  168. 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.

  169. 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!

  170. OMG what a fabulous give-a-way! Love this & the hepa inner bag what a fab idea & the 2 power switches–love this about this vacuum!
    Please oh please the vacuum gods listen to my plea & let me win this amazing vacuum! 😉

  171. 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!

  172. 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! 🙂

  173. 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!!

  174. 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!

  175. 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.)

  176. 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.

  177. I would sooooo enjoy and love to own the lightest, full-powered upright in America!!!!

    : ). Happy New Year!!

  178. 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 🙁

  179. I loved that it is lightweight with the full power of a full size vacuum. I follow you on Facebook and receive your emails.

  180. 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.

  181. 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. 🙂

  182. 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.

  183. Liked them on facebook and I love that there are two HEPA filters… the bag and the main vacuum! Keep counting my blessings!

  184. 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!

  185. This vacuum has a twenty foot power cord AND a five foot hose on it! Sounds like heaven on a cord to me! 😛

  186. 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!

  187. 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.

  188. Hi, I just read it and love to share it with other. Also i ever wished to write for your blog. Please allow me if possible. Email for the instructions to write for your web blog.
