Win an Oreck XL Ultra

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!

  15. Thank you for this generous giveaway.
    I’ve been wanting an Oreck forever because my kid has asthma and allergies, so removing dust and particles from the air is important.
    The superior suction is a big draw because I don’t want anything floating in the air that might aggravate my little one’s respiratory problems.

  23. WOW!!!!
    I would rather win this wonderful cleaning tool than win a huge diamond ring.
    I am so ecstatic to find this sweeps/giveaway.
    It is absolutely thrilling to have change to win this amazing vacuum.
    I would be overjoyed to have a change to own the Oreck XL Ultra for so many reasons.

    One being in need of a new vacuum desperately. The fact that it weights only weighting 9 pounds…..
    (I injured my my neck, right hip and right shoulder in a bad car accident)…It has tremendous section power…
    Great for pet hair & all the durt, dust my family brings in our medium home plus hypo-allergenic Filtration and folds under so I can have space!!!!! Crossing my fingers!!!!

  142. I’m grateful it’s got a hypo-allergenic filtration system that eliminates 99.9% of all allergens. My five-year-old son takes allergy shots for his severe allergies; and, this would be a godsend. Many thanks for your thoughtful giveaway.

  197. My new vacuum just doesn’t pick up hair. So I am guessing that it doesn’t pick up a lot of other stuff. I need an Oreck. I would love to win.

  213. When my kids won’t pick up their toys I plug in the vacuum and pretend I will suck up their toys. Even if the toys are too big, they start scrambling to get them picked up, it’s funny, and fun too. (No, it doesn’t “upset” them, I’m really a nice mom)…I’ve got a living room floor that would be a real test for this vacuum, heard its really good.

  223. This would be a great replacement for our ten year old vacuum that my husband and I bought as a floor model when we were first married.

  224. Every one leaves a comment but no one says any thing about the thought you put into this vacuum, which is why you have such a great product.

  238. I have seven cats, and a husband with dust allergies. Some of the cats have allergies, too. So we could really use a powerful vacuum that filters allergens. I think it would make us all a lot happier and healthier.

    Good luck to everyone!

  272. Lemme tell ya, if anybody needs an OreckXL, it’s me!!

    My husband of 23yrs works for the water/wastewater maintenance department. He installs and repairs water and *blech face* wastewater lines for the entire city. He inspects new installations, he is creating new water line maps.

    He does all these things in mud and dirt and grit. Thankfully, his company provides a uniform service, but those uniforms reside in my house in all their muddy-dirty splendor before they’re taken to be laundered.

    That’s not even counting the boots. Thick-mud-caked boots with gravels ‘sprinkled’ throughout.

    We don’t have a porch or any sort of “mud room” where he can keep this dirt before he comes into the house. So it’s all like right in my kitchen doorway and the utility doorway immediately to the left. GAH!!!!!

    I think I’m the most frustrated woman sometimes. I mean, frustrated about MUD and DIRT!!!

    Did I mention I have two sons who ALSO WORK IN THIS KINDA STUFF?!?!?!?!?!?

    I NEED SOME SERIOUS HELP!!!

    Reply

  274. So glad I found this (at the last minute!!). This would be awesome for all of those little crumbs that my 20 mth old scatters through out the house. My mom has an Oreck and LOVES it!
    I would LOVE to win!

  323. This sounds too good to be true! Just to let you know how much I want this vacuum, I have actually watched the infomercial several times and sat and wished I could get one of these great machines for my mom. My mother is 91 years young and the 9 pound Oreck would be easier for her to use and perhaps she would suffer less with her allergies. She (and I) could have a spring cleaning extravaganza in her house! Thanks for giving us the chance to win.

  329. Please enter me. I am on my 4th vacume in two years. Id love to find something that really works.. Thanks for the contest !!!!!

  332. I know that over 1,000 people have entered, but someone has to win, and why not me? So please enter me! My old Kirby vacuum is just not doing that great of a job on the dog hair, cat hair, and all the crumbs the kids leave behind.

    Reply

  334. Oreck is indeed the best around. I worked at a children’s group home for over eight years. The kids went through commercial grade vacuums like there was no tomorrow. Every six months or so we were buying a new vacuum, until Oreck gave the junior boys cottage (ages 5 – 11) to try out. The vacuum was never out of commission, worked like a charm. It was light and easy to use for everyone.
    This sold me! I bought one and have had it for 10 years – still runs great – no surprise, since it is not used by 12 munchkins twice to three times daily. Anyway, I want to give one to my sister , a mother of an infant, toddler, and dog – and could really use this mircle machine to clean up. Pick me!

    Reply

  338. I would LOVE to win this vacuum! I love the commercials that Mr. Oreck does on TV and can’t believe how wonderful this vacuum must be. I have 3 kids and 2 dogs and am ALWAYS vacuuming.

  359. We have TWO vacuum cleaners and both of them refuse to pick up cut fur. So now I have to get on my hands and knees and literally use a COMB to sort of “rake” it up – it takes hours and the dust that comes up really aggravates my allergies and asthma! I need help!

    Reply

  494. Why I need a vacuum: I had a housekeeper that came once a month to help me tidy up and one day I got a message on my voice mail saying “sorry, I can’t work for you. Goodbye and good luck.” Later, someone else she does work for told me that she quit because my vacuum was terrible. Yikes- she could have at least warned me!

    Anyways, she’s right. The vacuum stinks. Now that I am cleaning on my own permanently after my full time job (40 hours a week) and mommy job (I have a demanding one year old), I see the light. Would LOVE this helpful tool! Does it have an attachment to get near the corners of the wall?

    I don’t have a blog, but will spread the word.

    Reply

  527. OK so my husband laughs at me constantly. I am always vacuuming. I swear I do it at least once a day. Even if it doesn’t need it I still vacume. I cannot go to bed if the floor needs vacuuming (or so I think) I know the floor is never as bad as I think it is but I cant help it. Well after all this vacuuming you can imagine just how wore out my vacume cleaner is so I am in dire straits for a new one so please, pick me!

  551. OK OK OK…I admit I am a closet dancer. My talents only come out when I vacuum. For an ol’ gal 49 and holding, I must say that I can bust a move. With the help of a vacuum humming and the music blaring.

    What could possibly make this scene more worth while? That would be dancing with an Oreck Vacuum. Are you serious..9lbs.? Oreck would make those fancy turns smooooth. Smooth as a hot knife going through butter.

  655. Wouldn’ it be GREAT to have a light-weight vacuum cleaner. Oh how my back aches when I use my regular vacuum. Oreck would be a super win!

  663. We recently moved into a two-story house and my vacuum weighs a ton! Would love to have a lightweight model that I could easily take upstairs.

  667. Oh I REALLY need this! I spent WEEKS researching vacuums last year (since we don’t have much cash and I wanted to spend it exactly right!) and bought a …….(I won’t say)….but it sucked. 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.

  669. I would love to enter. I could really use a new vacuum mine just does not want to work lately. I now include the dust bunnies as part of our family. 🙂 Thanks for the awesome giveaway.

  678. I’ve been without a vacuum since mine was STOLEN from my storage compartment in the basement of my apartment building. (And I thought I was messy. I guess if it was needed by someone else that badly . . .) Really makes you think about who your neighbors are! Thank heavens there are nice people on the web who give vacuums away.

  738. My current vacuum is almost 9 years old and has been repaired several times by my husband, the most recent being a new plug, which is already almost worn out…so…A new vacuum would be wonderful!

  741. Ever since my son got really into cutting up every little scrap of paper, I have needed to vacume more often. This sounds great.

  762. Oh boy could I use a new vacuum cleaner!! I have 3 cats, one of which is a persian, and we heat the house mainly with a wood stove. So, I constantly have tons of cat hair and wood dust/splinters everywhere, and it kills my vacuums quick! The one I am using right now is on it’s last duct taped legs…

  769. We inherited vacuum cleaners when we moved into this
    house, but they smell like the dogs that used to live here! I would love a new Oreck!

    Reply

  770. I wish I would have seen an ad for an Oreck, before I paid a ton for a Kirby that weighs a ton. I guess it makes sense, Pay a Ton and you can Haul a Ton.

  781. I haven’t had a vacuum in years (I use a little wire brush on my hands and knees to clean our rugs), so winning this would be fantastic!

  796. My wife only has 1 lung due to a stabbing she got about 25 years ago. So I vaccum since she can’t what with the dust flying around. An Oreck would really be a help. Thanks!

  803. Oh my gosh, SIGN ME UP!

    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.

    It may take me three WEEKS to walk upright again. Maybe I can use the Oreck as a cane, if I win it!

  807. I’m pretty sure mine died a couple of months ago…we were actually trying to save some money to buy a really great vacum. I’ll get my fingers crossed.
