Oreck Magnesium Giveaway!

Okay, y’all! I have been so, so, so very excited about this giveaway for a long time now. You can all get mad at me for holding out on you for the last six months.

Because I have now experienced the greatest vacuum cleaner! The Oreck Magnesium is the greatest addition to our home in 2012. It’s a good thing Hayes was born in 2011. (Just kidding)

The Magnesium is light weight and slim. And it is an Oreck.

What can I say about Oreck? I have been a loyal Oreck user for seven years now. I will never, ever buy a different brand of vacuum cleaner. I purchased a refurbished Oreck from the Oreck store when I moved into my second post-grad apartment. I never had a single problem with that vacuum cleaner.

And when Oreck sent me the Magnesium to review, I jumped at the chance.

I love how sleek it is.

It is powerful. It cleans my floors and rugs better than any vacuum cleaner I’ve ever had. It is gentle enough for my nicest rugs and is low enough for hardwoods.

You would not believe how lightweight it is! It weighs just over 7 pounds. I can haul it all over my house, up and down stairs, and never get tired.

It has 102 miles per hour of airflow! There is so much power that it feels like it is self propelled on most surfaces!

And it lays virtually flat to get under the lowest furniture. The LED lights on the front of the Magnesium make it easy to see under furniture where it’s dark.

The cord stretches across four rooms in my house. I only have to unplug it and plug it back in twice to get my whole house cleaned. It’s really incredible!

My favorite thing about all Orecks? The bags. I love vacuum bags. They seal so tight and contain all of the mess so neatly. I love that when my bag is full, I can switch it out without the risk of spilling all of the dust, dog hair, and crumbs all over my floor like so often happens with canister vacuums.

I’m so excited to be giving away an Oreck Magnesium and the Oreck Ultimate Handheld  to one lucky Blue-Eyed Bride reader.

Now, this little Oreck Ultimate Handheld is the greatest little thing I’ve ever used. It is so powerful! It has an extra long cord. It has a very convenient shoulder strap that makes it really easy to use all of the attachment and clean the sofa, the curtains and in those small hard to reach areas. It is the perfect accompaniment to the Magnesium!

I actually plan to give a couple of these little guys as Christmas presents this year.

The Oreck Magnesium is worth $499.99 and the Ultimate Handheld is worth $149.99 and one of you will get them both for free!

    It’s only 7.7 pounds? Amazing. Its qualities seem really great, but I can’t make myself pay $600 for a vacuum.

  2. Erica Gonzales says

    I just checked out their website and read that the Magnesium is the lightest, full-powered upright in America. Awesome – I feel like I get enough of a workout carrying my toddler up and down stairs, it would be great not to have to do that with my vacuum too!

  3. says

    Well, I just learned that I need the Magnesium-does that count? Ha. I did see on the website it won best new product of the year in floor care. That’s pretty awesome. I have a real dog hair situation, which is not ideal with a crawler…hopefully Oreck can remedy that. 🙂

  4. says

    Eeeeek!!!! Man oh man would I love this! I love that it lays flat for cleaning under furniture. I hate having to move all furniture when vacuuming! Hope I win!!!!

  5. says

    This vacuum does look super sleek & I love that it can switch from carpets to hardwood with just a switch! The best thing in my opinion is how slender it is for storage.

    I followed @oreck on twitter & followed them on FB.

    Great giveaway, Erin!

  6. Laurie says

    This vacuum is AWESOME!!! I learned it has an awesome quickswitch which would make my life so much easier. Our house has all hardwood floors with a few rugs and ceramic tile in the kitchen. Trying to vacuum the entire house is such a pain. This would make it quick and simple!

  7. Drew says

    I learned that it is high powered but also gentle enough for rugs! I also liked Oreck on FB, followed them on Twitter, and signed up for emails!

  8. Ashley says

    I learned that it has the Saniseal system…pretty cool! That would be fantastic for my hardwood and carpets. :o)

  9. Mandy M. says

    I learned that it lay flat to glide under furniture! Oh, how I need this vac at my house! My furniture is large and bulky and too difficult to move on my own.

  10. says

    The Magnesium has a Quickswitch for an easy transition between floor types! It would be awesome for our tile and hardwood house! Amazing Giveaway!

  11. Susan Breedlove says

    The Magnesium’s large high-performance rear wheels with cylindrical wheel bearings making it easy to push through high-pile carpet. I love the fact that it lies flat to go under furniture as well.

  12. April says

    I just learned that it also comes with the Ultimate Handheld Vac too! That is awesome and sounds great! I currently have an off-brand dyson type vac that you have to empty and it is super loud. Ugh!

  13. Tiffanie Steele says

    I love how slender it is for storage, but most of all that it uses the HEPA inner bag. With a kiddo that battles allergy season, anything I can do to remove dust and pollen is a major plus!

  14. says

    Just visited the Oreck site andlearned it has a HEPA inner bag which is great for this family that has LOTS of allergies!!!
    I am loving this vacuum! I need a new one in the worst possible way!!

  15. AKC says

    I visited the Oreck website and learned that this awesome vacuum has two speeds which would be perfect for transitioning from hard-wood to carpet through out our home.

  16. Sarah Sch. says

    I just read that it works on both high pile carpet and hardwoods. I love this because I never feel like my vacuum gets the job done on my hardwoods. I would just die for a new vacuum!

  17. Kourtni says

    I learned that the Oreck Magnesium meets the highest performance standard according to the Carpet and Rug Institute, the leading U.S. carpet authority. I LOVE that it has an Easy Snap cord, my vacuum’s cord never stays where it is supposed to. My vacuum also weighs 22 pounds, which is ridiculous if you ask me. I guess that’s what you get when your vacuum is 8 years old 🙂

  18. Jori says

    That it has 30 feet of cord!! No more having to stop and plug in some where else in the same room!! What a great giveaway thank you!

  19. Chelsea says

    Just went to website and found out that its the Lightest Oreck upright ever! I would love to win it!

  20. says

    What a great vacuum. I learned that it has a HEPA filter and can lay flat from the website. I also signed up on their site for e-mail. I’m a newer follower too. I love your blog. So cute!

  21. Ashley says

    What a great giveaway, I would die of happiness if I won! From Oreck.com I learned that the Oreck Magnesium can be used on all floor types which is great!

  22. Katie W. says

    The two speeds on this vacuum would be amazing! And the rear wheels which make it so easy to move! Would love to win this!

  23. Sandy says

    I just visited there website and I like how you can get the canister as well. The Oreck that I have doesn’t have attachements.

  24. Susan says

    It almost feels self propelled?! Way better than the giant vacuum I have to use all my strength to use now!

  25. Barb says

    I just visited Oreck’s website. What a sa-weet vac! I love the fact that it it lays virtually flat for easy cleaning under furniture. Not too shabby!

  26. Katie says

    How exciting! I would LOVE to win this! My favorite feature is how flat it lays for cleaning purposes…that would be so great for under furniture! 🙂

  27. Casey says

    I learned that HEPA is a type of filter that can trap a large amount of very small particles that other vacuum cleaners would simply recirculate back into the air of your home.

  28. Janelle says

    Love, love this giveaway! My favorite part of this oreck is that it lays pretty much flat to get under furniture, etc!

  29. says

    Our biggest complaint with our current vac is that we have to constantly unplug it and find a new and closer plug. I love how long the cord is on this product! Would love to have this in our home!

  30. says

    Goodness I need a new vac. I love that it has two speed Quickswitch!! With hardwoods in my home I have rugs at all different piles and it can be a pain having to switch back and forth. This sounds amazing!!

  31. NitaPita says

    What an awesome vacuum! I checked out the website and saw that the Quickswitch feature would be a perfect fit for me as I have both hardwoods and carpet on my main floor. I also follow them on twitter and signed up for their email list 🙂

  32. says

    Would love to win this one! I learned from the Oreck website that the vacuum comes with a handheld vacuum as well, which is so great for the car or other hard to reach places. Thank you!

  33. Lauren says

    WHat a nice giveaway! The light weight is awesome for carrying around the house up and down stairs….after going to the website, I like that it has 2 options for different floor types! It’s also very sleek looking and not feminine so maybe the husband wouldn’t mind using it! Hahah

  34. Amanda says

    Awesome giveaway since my vacuum just quit working. I love the idea of a HEPA inner bag. My kids and I suffer from allergies.

  35. says

    I love how the Oreck Magnesium lays flat to go under furniture! Would love that now instead of stopping to move pieces out of my way! I have a big, bulky Dyson now. The size & weight of the Magnesium is awesome & would be so much easier to lug around the house!!

    *I’ve “liked” Oreck on Facebook, follow them on Twitter & have signed up for email updates 😉

  36. says

    I learned that it can help reduce the allergens! Hello, 3 dogs…I NEED this! …and I may have JUST dropped my vacuum all the way down our stairs yesterday:( oops.

  37. Lorrie says

    The Oreck Magnesium has the gold seal of approval from the Carpet and Rug Institute. I hope I’m the lucky winner!!

  38. Katie says

    I learned that the direct suction and rollerbrush rotating at 7,000 revolutions per minute draw dirt right into the bag. With 2 little ones who created more crumbs then I have ever dreamed of and a house full of hardwood floors we are in desparate need of a good quality vacuum.

  39. Whitney says

    Love that you can switch speed for different floor types with the touch of a button, and that it feels self propelled becasue of the speed of the airflow!

  40. Karen says

    The two speed quick switch sounds great. I would also love to have traditional bags. I currently have a canister unit and hate it. Such a mess!

  41. Jessica says

    I would love to win this! I learned the vac has an indicator light lets you know when purifier needs to be cleaned. How nice!

  42. says

    I like its small size and ability to get under the bed/couch/etc. It would be much easier to use in the kitchen than my current vacuum. That handheld looks awesome too! Between the dog hair and kid crumbs everywhere, a good vacuum is a big need!

  43. Stephanie says

    Wow! 7 lb and two speeds… Sounds great! I learned that I really would prefer a vacuum with a bag so I can just pull it out and trow it away, and I don’t have to worry about all that junk getting back out.

  44. Micah says

    I learned that it costs $599.99, so I’d REALLY like to win it ‘cuz I can’t afford to buy it. 🙂

  45. Sara C says

    I signed up for their e-mail and also “liked” them on Facebook. I learned the Oreck Magnesium can lay flat for easy cleaning under furniture!

  46. Anna says

    Wow, a 7-year limited warranty and 3 yearly tune-ups! What a great investment, since it must last a very long time.

  47. Rebekah says

    You can try one for 30 days, then send it back if you don’t like it! Although, imagine not many people do! 🙂

  48. Georgia says

    My grandmother always used Oreck, and even though her vacuum cleaners weren’t very heavy either, they were no where near as light as 7 pounds! I was excited to learn from the website how light these vacuum cleaners really are!

  49. Katey Dommenick says

    The two speed Quickswitch™ on the back of the vacuum enables you to move smoothly across all floor types using appropriate power levels: high for carpets and low for hardwoods and tile.

  50. Daveda says

    I learned about the Quickswitch option which allows you to easily switch between carpets, hardwood flooring and tile. What a great feature!

  51. says

    I LOVE that it lays virtually flat for easy cleaning under furniture. That means, I can get all the cheerios (and dust bunnies) hiding under my enormous sofa!!!

  52. Donolyn says

    I learned that the Magnesium comes with a full 7 year warranty with 3 yearly tune ups! Awesome that they truly stand by their product!

  53. says

    I love this vacuum after reading about it! I have a lot of hardwoods and carpet so I love that it easy to switch between the two the Quickswitch! I also signed up for their emails 🙂

  54. says

    I learned that the Magnesium gets its name from its magnesium frame, which keeps it light!

    Thank you so much for hosting this giveaway! I recently moved in with my frat-boy boyfriend and his heavy-shedding dog, so my cheapo vac has been a little overwhelmed!

  55. Jac says

    I like that it has two fans, which allows for better cleaning and air purification. I have two dogs and a new house that I DO NOT want to smell like I have 2 dogs.

  56. Caroline says

    I am on Oreck’s email list now. I love Oreck’s too!! We had them for years and then switched and I would LOVE to switch back!

  57. says

    Liked it on Facebook and signed up for emails.

    What I learned, and what I love MOST, about this rocking vacuum is that it uses hepa filters in the bags. For someone who suffers from allergies this is music to my ears!!!

  58. Marci says

    I learned that the Oreck Magnesium lies virtually flat, has a 30 ft cord and a wide cleaning path!
    I love that it can easily get around and under tight spots and that it’s lightweight!
    Just what I need!
    Thanks for hosting such a great giveaway!

  59. Jessica says

    The Oreck Magnesium has a 30 ft cord. Sounds great to me! I hate having to constantly find a new outlet while I am vacuuming.

  60. says

    Love that it has a long cord! That is one of my pet peeves about vacuuming — having to unplug the cord in every room. And I could SO desperately use a new vacuum! Thanks for a great giveaway! 🙂

  61. Emily says

    A good vacuum is hard to find! We have gone through 3 in the last 4 years. I love that the Oreck Magnesium is only 7.7 pounds and has 102 mph of airflow. I would love something like it in my home!

    I learned that this special vacuum is safe to use on expensive oriental or persian rugs AND is easy to maneuver on high-pile carpet!

  64. Tammie says

    I read that you do not have to change the filters that you wash them with soap and water. One of the best things is the 30 ft. cord. Thanks for the chance.

    I love that it folds flat to go under furniture!! I could use that to catch the stay Cheerios under my couch. Thanks!

  66. Jody says

  68. Christine B. says

    Quickswitch baby!!! Say no more…if I told you what I use now and how inconvenient it is to switch from rug to tile/hardwood etc…you would not believe me..not to mention how heavy it is….ugh!

  69. Laura says

    I love that the Oreck can lay almost flat. I, too, am a mother of two young children with my house on the market. It would be great to have a lightweight vacuum to make preparing for a home showing easier.

  84. marianna says

  85. Tara says

    Vaccum right over tile too?! Why would you even need a broom? Leaning over and trying for 5 minutes to get every last bit into a dustpan…no more!
