Oreck Magnesium Vacuum review and giveaway.

Boy, oh boy, do I have the ultimate giveaway for you!
Oreck sent me their new Magnesium Vacuum Cleaner to review a few weeks ago.  
I vowed to be completely honest and no sugar-coating.
Let's just say my little apartment has never been cleaner.

First of all it is so LIGHT! My old vacuum was so big and bulky (and I've got the biceps to prove it). 
The Magnesium is light enough that I can now put my boys to work with zero guilt of child labor. 
It really is so easy to manage I actually use it more often.


It sucks up every last crumb on carpet...

...and does equally as well on hard surfaces.  I should know too...I despise using a broom and dustpan.  In fact, I've had three vacs in the past that claim to vacuum hard surfaces and none have worked well.  The problem is they blow the mess all over the floor when the vac gets close but the Magnesium vacuums without making a tornado mess!

It even worked on my jute rug.

This is my old vac filter which had to be cleaned after each use.
I actually had a rock outside that I designated as my "filter banging rock". 


The Magnesium uses bags that you simply throw away when they're full.  Simple.


The Magnesium also comes with this hand-held vacuum to clean hard to reach nooks and crannies.
I'm sensing a new addition to the chore list.

We give it two thumbs up!
Now for the fun part.
One lucky winner will be receiving their very own Magnesium vacuum (valued at $599.00)! 

To enter:
First visit Oreck.com and tell us one (or  more) thing you learned about the Magnesium vacuum by leaving a comment on this post.

For three additional entries:
1. Follow Oreck on Twitter.
2. Like Oreck on Facebook.
3. Get the word out by tweeting about this giveaway on your blog, Facebook or Twitter.

Please make sure I have a way to contact you if you win.  Once winner is announced they will have 72 hours to respond otherwise another winner will be chosen.  Giveaway closes Saturday, January 7th at midnight.  Winner will be chosen by Random.org.  This giveaway is open to U.S. residents (of the 48 contiguous states) only. Must be at least 18 to enter.

Disclosures: I received this product to review for free from Oreck.  Oreck Corporation provided the prize for the sweepstakes but is not the sponsor of the sweepstakes.

I Like that it has a 7 yr warranty. I've spent alot of money on vacuums to only have them go to "heck" in a yr or 2. And that it's only 7.7 pounds and lays flat for deep cleaning.

7.7 pounds? That's a third of that baby that is on my hip while I vacuum. And I love the idea of led headlights- to see what you're cleaning better :) Thanks for the chance!

The Magnesium practically lays flat on the floor when using it under furniture. And it's $599.

I'm in the market for a new vacuum. Mine shuts off every few minutes.

I am a huge Oreck fan since inheriting my grandparents' Oreck over 10 years ago. It is almost worn out & I'm ready to try the Magnesium. I love how light and maneuverable it is & that it lays flat to go under furniture.

I've been searching for a new vaccuum to purchase, and I am so impressed with Oreck's Magnesium. I love that it's lightweight (classic oreck), and that it lays virtually flat so I can get underneath my furniture. I also like that it's gentle enough for persian rugs. I need this vaccuum!

Unknown said...

Wow! what an awesome vacuum! Here are 3 (!) things I learned: It's an expensive vacuum ($599!), it has a zipper on the front (to get the bag out?), and it can go flat to go under stuff (love this feature! vacuuming under the bed made easier for a dust/spider freak like me)

I have an older Oreck vacuum and think some of the features of the Magnesium vacuum are definite improvements - such as the two speed Quickswitch™ on the back of the vacuum which enables the vacuum to use power levels appropriate for the type of flooring being cleaned.
