THIS GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED!

Thanks so much to all of you who entered! Read below to find out who our winner is!

We used random generator to choose our lucky winner and she is..  Alex Anna-Marie Struble with this comment…

Holy cow this is a fantastic vacuum! AND it comes with 3 yearly tune ups?!  I would love to have this vacuum instead of my inlaws ancient hand-me-down that reeks of wet dog every time I vacuum.  I bet the Magnesium’s HEPA filter would never have that problem.

We have emailed you with details!  Thanks again!

That’s right guys!  We get to give one Shanty reader TWO Oreck Vacuum Cleaners!!!

I was so pumped when I was recently asked to try out the Oreck Magnesium and the Oreck Ultimate Handheld Vac.  My vacuum cleaner is one of my most used ‘power tools’!

This is the Oreck Magnesium Vacuum Cleaner!  There are SO many things I love about this “little” guy!

First off… It weighs in at a whopping 7.7 lbs.  Seriously.  It is amazing how easy it is to push the Magnesium through the entire house.  It’s so light that the baby even took her turn at it (and threw a huge fit when I took it away)!

Another feature of this vacuum cleaner that I love is the ability to move onto different types of flooring without doing a thing!  I have carpet, stained concrete and tile flooring.  The Magnesium easily cleans them all without having to make a single adjustment!

I also love that it has 2 different speed options.  By pushing the little power button on the back, you can easily switch to the slower speed and clean your rugs without the vacuum eating them.  LOVE.

The Magnesium has a long cord which I found super helpful!  I am constantly having to move sockets with my other vacuum, so that was a fun little perk.  I also love this little swiveling hook thing (pretty sure that’s the technical term) that holds the cord by the handle.  So smart!  I have to hold the cord on my other vacuum.

I also love the design of the handle.  It was easy to hold and it’s longer than I’m used to!

Let’s talk about the bag!  First… I will never go bagless.  I don’t want to have to look at what I just sucked off the floor!  Look how easy it is to change the bag on the Oreck Magnesium!  Just unzip that baby and pull it out!

And finally my favorite feature… This vacuum left nothing on the floor!  It’s amazing to me that it can pack this much power in under 8 lbs!  I am literally in LOVE.

And then there is the Ultimate Handheld Vac… Holy wow.

This little guy is a mommy’s best friend!

First… Everything you see comes in one box… Woohoo! Love all the attachments!

The cord easily wraps around the bottom and it all stores away like this.

I am so used to lugging my other heavy vacuum cleaner around the house as I do my my baseboards and stairs.  You can actually carry this vacuum around like a purse or diaper bag and get it done!  My kids say it looks like a jet pack, and I would say it’s just about as cool ;-)!

The tube easily extends and locks into place wherever you want it to.  Seriously?  Love it.

This vacuum also uses a bag… Woohoo!  It’s so easy to change too!

So… What do you think?  Can you tell I am in LOVE??  I can honestly say I never knew what I was missing out on.  I will never use another brand again.  Thank you Oreck for being so awesome!

Who wants to win BOTH???  We will give 1 very lucky Shanty reader BOTH vacuum cleaners!

  1. I liked Oreck on face book as well! I really like that it only weights just over 7 pounds!

  2. I only have a vacuum that when you are done you have to go and pick everything that the sweeper didn’t get. This Oreck Magnesium would be great. I have two sliding doors and a regular sweeper doesn’t get everything. The hand held vacuum would be great for that.

  3. The Magnesium had me at “….virtually flat….” oooooh, it would now be a breeze to vacuum under my tv cabinet, couch and loveseat. Could it be that vacuuming would become a pleasurable activity??!! I’m excited to find out! Thanks!

  9. I was pleased to learn that it was just as effective on hardwood floors as carpet! Just what I need to hear!

  10. I love Oreck vacuum cleaners. They are lightweight and that makes it so easy to vacuum stairs and to vacuum any surface. They are absolutely the best vacuum made. Love the simple design and they are so easy to care for. I need the handheld desperately. It would complement my own Oreck perfectly!

  12. i really need this vacuum and mine died finally. I have 4 dogs and 4 kids plus the wind and dust of maple mountain, that only the Oreck can handle.

  14. I already ‘like’ Oreck on Facebook because I like reading about their vaccuums and want to know about any great sales I might be lucky enough to take advantage of.

  15. I’ve been dreaming of owning an Oreck for the past 10 years. I want one SO badly. Winning two would be awesome. Our 5 month old Granddaughter will be moving into our home this weekend so getting all the cat fur and anything/everything off our floors/carpets will be a top priority given the fact she’s going to be moving around very soon.
    I love the fact this Oreck can lay practically flat to get underneath our furniture. That’s something I look for because moving furniture now isn’t something I can do easily anymore. The weight of this vaccuum is a dream. I can no longer drag my vaccuum around the house easily after having five hand surgeries in the past two years. I’ve lost alot of strength in both my hands. With this vaccuum only being 7 lbs, I’d be able to do it myself again without major pain.
