Win an Oreck XL Ultra
I hurt my back.
And not just a little twinge of pain. This is a full on, my-back-seized-and-now-I-can’t-pick-up-my-kids hurt. With a four month old and a two year old who insists on playing “two babies,” I am in a bit of trouble.
So, you can imagine, I am more than a bit excited that an Oreck XL Ultra just arrived at my door. This mighty little vacuum weighs only 9 pounds! To hold a vacuum that weighs so little is the strangest feeling – like when you have a toddler and you pick up a newborn. It is fantastic! (Now if only my kids still weighed 9 pounds!)
Considering my back is so damaged that I wouldn’t be able to use my old vacuum for months, a vacuum that is super light would be good enough for me.
But there are even more reasons I am giddy with vacuuming delight…
This tiny thing is a powerhouse, sucking up filth at the velocity of a cat 2 hurricane AND it has a hypo-allergenic filtration system that eliminates 99.9% of all allergen AND it even lays flat to fit under the bed or furniture. (Considering we are jammed with a home office and our family in a tiny townhouse, the fact that I can hide it so easily is super cool.)
Okay – I want to do a little vacuum dance right now. But, as I said, my back really hurts. So I am doing a happy dance on the inside.
(As moms, there is far too much vacuuming in our lives. Really! It is a never ending chore. So I am just counting my lucky stars that I get to use this fabulous vacuum while vacuuming again and again.)
If you haven’t seen the ads for this fabulous machine, check out the Oreck YouTube channel.
They have demonstrations, like this smoke chamber demo, that will have you dragging your husband to the computer and saying, “But Honey – look – all the smoke disappears! We really neeeed this!
Yes, it is infomercial style. But if you can move past that, it does make a darn good case for the vacuum.

HOWDY!! If you’re new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!This is my entry into 5 minutes for mom’s giveaway! They are giving away an Oreck XL Ultra to one very lucky person and that person is me..hopefully! …
[...] 5 Minutes for Mom is giving away an Oreck XL Ultra!! This is definitely something that I can get excited about because my family runs through vacuum cleaners like they are going out of style. The vacuums that we’ve kept the longest were the Phantom Fury (of which I can’t seem to find a picture of online!) and the first vacuum cleaner that was given to us when I first got married. Other than that vacuum cleaners seem to only last about a year around this house. Last year I even had a Kirby salesman come to the door, and let me tell you!!! If I had the money to buy a Kirby I would. I know that if I bought one of those I’d never have to buy another vacuum cleaner for the rest of my natural born days! At the moment we do not have a vacuum cleaner (and haven’t had one for 2 months) and because of many, many, many financial other financial obligations we probably won’t be able to get one for 2 or 3 more months The Oreck, though, makes me wonder if Kirby has found it’s match. So, anyway, if you are interested in winning a free vacuum, please head on over to 5 Minutes for Mom. [...]
