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)!

Must be at least 18 to enter.

There are different kinds of vacuum depends on the uses. We choose hand held vacuum in our house because it can reach nooks and crannies.

i learned that it virtually lies flat for under furniture cleaning...so cool!

Anonymous said...

I was impressed with the extra long cord and the fact that it can lay flat to get under furniture easily. I have both carpet and hard surfaces in my home and the easy transition would be great.

I learned: the HEPA inner bag captures at least 99.97% of particles as small as .3 microns from that air - what really stood out - it captures mold spores!

With Asthmatics in the house this would be a blessing!

Thanks for the Chance!

I clicked on "like" on Facebook and I'm posting here. I learned that it is the lightest full-powered upright in America, it can virtually lay flat, it's durable, has 2 speeds and can be used on any type floor. I really could use this vacuum to help keep my Cocker Spaniel's hair off the floor and furniture, which in turn would give me less problems with my allergies! Thanks for the chance to win one.

I misunderstood directions and left my post on the Oreck FB page...but I have learned from 4 men & 1 lady I will never stand over my barrel with the mini whisk broom, slowly brushing & turning the "yuck" off to re-use a filter. easy roll, easy empty & best suction...Bring It On Oreck !!
