Win an Oreck XL Ultra

Written by Susan

review-oreck-xl-ultra-140.jpgI 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.

Speaking of wanting the Oreck XL Ultra - do you want one?!? Cause we are giving one away!

All you need to do is:

  1. Publish a post on your own blog linking back to this giveaway post and also linking to the Oreck XL Ultra.
  2. Leave a comment on this post.

If you don’t have a blog, we understand you can’t link back, but then please spread the word amongst your friends.

#51 - Gay Tillman @ 4:11 am

Great contest

#52 - Cathie @ 4:12 am

Yes yes, pick me!! I need a vaccuum soooooooo much!

[...] 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. [...]

#54 - Jenean @ 4:16 am

Hmmmm . . . we could all use a vacuum, I guess :) My husband would probably laugh at my excitement over this contest, but he would also understand our need for a vacuum. Financially we won’t be able to afford one for a while, and we’ve never owned anything as nice as an Oreck.

#55 - james pecoraro @ 4:31 am

That thing really sucks

#56 - Jack Palmer @ 4:44 am

This Vacume will help me pick-up the loose bowling balls that are just laying around the house. Thank you for the drawing!

What a wonderful giveaway. I really want to win this. I too hurt my back. For the past number of years my back tends to ‘go out’ on occasion, but last summer, during our family vacation was the worse. I guess with packing for the family, I over did it and sure enough my back went out. It was so bad, that while on vacation, my husband had to bring me to the er to get shots and medicine. After that trip, I was knocked out the whole week. With 2 young children….this was not the ideal vacation.
Please enter me, not only for my back, but we could really use a good vacuum.
Thanks for the awesome contest.

#187 - Robert Schiferl @ 10:54 am

Oreck is #1

#188 - Ally P @ 10:54 am

I understand the back deal. I have a 2 herniated discs in my back so vacuuming is always a chore I really dispise especially with my vacuum which was built in 1974 (5 years before I was even born)… not only do I get a nice work out lugging it up & down the stairs, but I have learned to be a vacuum repair person, because I have to fix it every time I use it. Oh and I have to vacuum every room twice because of the lack of suction.
Winning an Orek would be a dream come true.
Thanks for entering me :)!

#189 - Joan Newman @ 10:54 am

Boy, I really need this vacuum with all the stairs in my house.

#190 - Kimberly Cook @ 10:54 am

Oreck is A1!

#192 - CATHI RUSHING @ 11:00 am

GREAT SITE

#193 - Promises Fulfilled @ 11:01 am

I SO want to win this! My husband actually does the vacuuming because I had hurt my back a while ago. My back is fine, but I do not want to reinjure it by lugging around the vacuum - so, he still vacuums, which is a great thing…however, once in a while, I would like to do it while he is at work. So, this would be great to win! We have actually been talking about looking into this!

#194 - ivy @ 11:02 am

oreck is the best!

#195 - Sharold Friedrich @ 11:03 am

I so need a vacuum that is not duct tape together.

#196 - Lucy @ 11:07 am

#197 - karen @ 11:07 am

I have never tried an Oreck but they sure have a reliable name.

#198 - Stacy @ 11:10 am

The only way to work my sweeper is to plug it in and to turn it off, unplug it. I really need this!

#199 - Angela C @ 11:11 am

Wow, this is awesome. I’m in!

#200 - Cindy T @ 11:12 am

#202 - Amanda @ 11:13 am

I would love to win this! We need a new vacuum badly!

#203 - Robert B. @ 11:14 am

Our Phantom Lightning broke down earlier this month and we need a new vaccum because their company went out of business. This one looks like a great replacement

I feel your pain, girl! My babies were all 10 lbs., and my back hurt constantly - lots of prayers for those critters to walk early! Now that they’re all walking (read: running, and fast, and away from me), it would be great to have a 9 lb. vaccuum to clear up crumbs left behind.

#556 - Donna Ashley @ 7:02 pm

Vacuuming is one of the worst things that can hurt anyone’s lower back (many people have osteoarthritis in their lower backs as early as as age 30 and do not know it. Having a light weight and powerful vacuum like the Oreck XL Ultra, especially if you have children and/or pets, as I do, is imperative! Suffering from bulging disks in your lower back from vacuuming can seriously harm your back, your career and quality time with your family. It takes a long time to recover from herniated disks. Don’t risk it!

#557 - Donna Ashley @ 7:05 pm

Oh, and no, I do not have one — mine is heavy and inefficient — maybe someday I will!

#558 - Stacey M @ 7:11 pm

My vacuum just went out on me this week. I’d love to win this since I’m too broke to buy another one right now.

#559 - Cynthia Megill @ 7:18 pm

#560 - Sue Farrell @ 7:25 pm

My back hurts too when I vacuum - - plus trying to get the darn heavy thing up and down stairs is a pain—so I would really like a nice light Oreck.

#561 - Jennette Horosewski @ 7:32 pm

This one would get a great work out at my house!

#562 - Pauline Burns @ 7:34 pm

#563 - Elaine @ 7:35 pm

#568 - Debra Brown @ 8:27 pm

My mother-in-law came to visit for three HOURS today, passing through my State while on a trip. For the past three DAYS, I have been on my hands and knees picking up little bits and crumbs from the carpet and around the furniture legs. No vacuum = lots of pain.

And not in a good way. It was a total waste of money. I now prefer to crouch down on my hands and knees and waddle around my house with a dust brush and pan. Much for effective than the machine I own, but killer on my body! We can’t afford to blow another few hundred on a new vacuum. Please, please, please. I hope, I hope, I hope.
