This is one of those giveaways where I feel like anything I might want to say is completely inconsequential. Because really, anyone who’s reading this post just wants me to SHUT IT, ALREADY and stop talking about the fact that even though I don’t personally own an Oreck, I do have a mother and a sister who are very! enthusiastic! about the entire Oreck product family, not to mention that they would both tell you in a heartbeat that their Oreck vacuums are convenient, powerful, and light-as-a-feather.
But y’all don’t really want to hear that. Y’all just want me to cut to the chase and tell you about the free stuff.
Specifically, you want me to tell you about how you can win a free Oreck vacuum that retails for $599.95.
So.
Here goes.
First. Look! It’s adorable!
SASSY!
Second. If you’d like to win this very special vacuum that’s raising awareness for a very special cause (Clean for the Cure), here’s what you have to do:
1. Click here to visit Oreck’s site and look at all the fancy features on the Special Edition XL Gold. This is going to have to be done on the honor system, because it’s going to be next-to-impossible for me to check every single one of my outgoing clicks. However, I do know that the clicks out to this link should (roughly) match the number of comments on this post. So please do me a favor and click on the link and look around once you’re there so that I don’t have to put anyone in time out, oh thank you.
2. Come back here.
3. Leave a comment on this post (only one comment per email address, please) and briefly tell me why you’d LURVE to win an Oreck.
One catch: you have to be a resident of the continental United States in order to win (I know, Canada. I KNOW. I feel your pain. Because guess what? I can’t win, either).
This giveaway will be open until Monday, October 13th, and I’ll announce the winner on Tuesday, October 14th. If you win, I will contact you at the email address associated with your comment, so please be sure to type your email address correctly. You’ll have 24 hours to respond, and if I don’t hear from you within that time period, I’ll draw for another winner.
Have fun, y’all!
This giveaway is now closed.

I would lurve to have an oreck because I have 3 kids, 2 dogs and a husband that live in my house… nuff said!

Kelly @ Wisdom Begun says:
Woohoo!! This would be so cool to win.
Okay, why would I “lurve” to win an Oreck? Because I am a mom. A busy mom. A mom with four children who are aged five and under. Crumbs. Hair. Little bits of paper. Need I say more???

Mrs Lemon says:
I love my Oreck, and if I win it, I’ll give it to my Mom. Because she’s awesome and deserves a new toy.
October 6th, 2008 at 1:02 pm
Cori says:
I used to own an Oreck, and it cleaned very well…until the dog chewed through the cord. :( We’re getting new carpet upstairs in the kids’ room, and I’d LOVE to have a wonderful new Oreck to clean it!
October 6th, 2008 at 1:02 pm
AnnieBlogs says:
I would love this Oreck if for no other reason than to say, “I won this off of BooMama’s blog”.
It’s all about the story, Soph.
October 6th, 2008 at 1:02 pm
Kristen says:
Do you think I can still convince my husband to vaccuum even though the Oreck is pink? My mom loves her Oreck, and I’d love to continue the tradition by having one in my house too!
October 6th, 2008 at 1:04 pm
Patty says:
Oooh. Pretty. And it says it self-adjusts between carpets and hard floors. Count me in for this drawing! And thanks for thinking of all of us.
October 6th, 2008 at 1:04 pm
Stephanie says:
I’m hoping it’s powerful to get all the threads up off the carpet in my sewing room! My current vacuum doesn’t, and using masking tape to pick it all up is hard on the back.
October 6th, 2008 at 1:05 pm
Big Nanny says:
I would lurve to win an Oreck because I currently own a Eureka and it has issues. And it’s pink! I love pink!
October 6th, 2008 at 1:06 pm
Darlene says:
Oh, I would so love to dust less often! This is so pretty, too!
Thanks for the giveaway!
October 6th, 2008 at 1:06 pm
Jennifer Gray says:
I would love to win it because I would have it shipped to the Bowery Women’s Center in Manhattan – the only faith based long term womens homeless center in NY. They are in deparate need of a lightweight vaccum – 2 actually! I have trotted up and down those 5 flights of stairs – they need something light!!!
October 6th, 2008 at 1:07 pm
Michelle says:
Oh my goodness!! I need a new, GOOD, vacuum!! I have gone through 3 of them in 3 years. Apparently the cheap versions just aren’t cutting it. My carpets look horrible, and the cats don’t help. Thank you for offering this to your readers!
October 6th, 2008 at 1:07 pm
Jacci says:
How fun!
With a dog that sheds an insane amount of hair on every inch of my floor and furniture and a 16 month old who likes to pick it up and put it all in her mouth, I am in desperate need of this vaccuum! Thanks BooMama!
October 6th, 2008 at 1:08 pm
Tina says:
I’d love to own the Oreck because…..
I have 3 little boys – 2 of them old enough to make VERY.LARGE. messes. The 3rd little boy isn’t terribly far behind.
I have a messy husband.
I have the hairiest dog on the planet.
:)

Heather says:
We NEEEEEEED a new vacuum and I hear that this one is one of the best … that’s why i’d like to win
October 6th, 2008 at 1:10 pm
Kara says:
I NEED this vac.
Mine cost 5 bucks.
At a garage sale.
It smells like wet dog and vommit.
the end.
October 6th, 2008 at 1:11 pm
Bethany says:
I like the fact that it’s lightweight and easy to use on stairs. It also helps that it’s CUTE!
October 6th, 2008 at 1:11 pm
liz says:
i would LURVE a new vacuum. this one even comes with a separate attachment, so i can clean my drapes? i’ve never cleaned my drapes, so i think it’s about time :)
October 6th, 2008 at 1:12 pm
Sarah at themommylogues says:
I would give this vacuum to my husband. Because he is the vacuum-er. I KNOW — SCORE, right? Anyway, we got one of those carpet cleaners, and the carpet was Filthy. Positively Filthy. Turns out our current vacuum is not so much doing its job anymore. Grosses me out that my children roll about and wrestle daddy on that floor. Plus I LURVE that they support the Susan G. Komen foundation. And I want to see my man vacuuming with such a sassy vacuum!
October 6th, 2008 at 1:12 pm
jessica says:
I would lurve to win this purdy Oreck vacuum b/c of the hand-held system that goes with it and also b/c it is cute. My vacuum has been good to us over the past 7 years but the little extention arm (or whatever it is called) has a hole in it and it has no suction whatsoever. So, I’d rather be given a free “nice” vacuum instead of buy a cheap one.
Thanks Boomama! What a great giveaway!
October 6th, 2008 at 1:13 pm
Emily says:
Well mostly, I want a pink vacuum cleaner. But also, I’m tired of buying cheaper vacuums and being shocked (!) when I get cheaper quality.
October 6th, 2008 at 1:14 pm
stephanie says:
I would love to win this because I vacuum 846 times a day after my girls under our kitchen table. Well, not really, but this would be really cool. :)
October 6th, 2008 at 1:15 pm
Priscilla says:
Oh that is a sassy Sweeper! My childern would love tp make even bigger messes for me to use such a sassy sweeper
October 6th, 2008 at 1:17 pm
Phillips Phamily Mama says:
My husband just looks so darn sexy when he vacuums that he really needs a pink one. It would be just so D-A-R-N sexy! At least that’s what I tell him to get him to vacuum for me-my least favorite activity.
October 6th, 2008 at 1:17 pm
danana-banana says:
i’ve never had an Oreck – but would love, love, love to try it. #1 – it’s super cute which would automatically make vacuuming more fun. #2 – less dusting – hello! – way to make my life easier!
October 6th, 2008 at 1:18 pm
Diane says:
Loving this vacuum! My 6 month old is about to crawl any day now and I’m still in the losing my hair stage of the post pregnancy…it’s everywhere! My old vacuum is a cheapy bagless and I can’t find the replacement filters anymore! What’s a mom to do?
This is probably the best giveaway. EVER.
October 6th, 2008 at 1:19 pm
Lisa says:
I would “LURVE” to win a new oreck, I have so many steps, and so little time, with a husband who thinks that ALL house work is womens work, (and does not know how to pick up after himself) with a child that he is teaching all his bad habits to. including leaving tooth picks and dental floss everywhere they sit, my current “vacuume” and i use that term lightly cuz, I still have to get down and pick all that stuff up by hand, I need a cleaner that will help me. thank you
October 6th, 2008 at 1:19 pm
Diana says:
Due to some shoulder issues I’d love to have a light weight vacuum…plus I’ve heard so many good things about Oreck.
Oh, I hope I win!
October 6th, 2008 at 1:21 pm
Suzanne says:
I would love to win an Oreck because I want to see my manly hubby pushing around that pink vaccuum! One of his house responsibilities is the vacuuming since it is one of my least favorite chores!
October 6th, 2008 at 1:23 pm
Susan says:
I would LURVE to have an Oreck because trying to vacuum while holding a 7 month old bundle of cuteness makes “light as a feather” sound heaven sent!
October 6th, 2008 at 1:23 pm
Annie says:
I would lurve it because that might inspire me to clean my house.
October 6th, 2008 at 1:24 pm
Katina says:
The reason that I would like to win this giveaway is because, hello, the vacuum cleaner is PINK!!!! :)
October 6th, 2008 at 1:24 pm
We are THAT family says:
Hi BooMama. I feel so badly that you don’t have an Oreck and that you can’t win this one. Seems almost cruel. I feel so bad, that I almost didn’t leave a comment. But seriously? We’re talking about a $500 vacuum here and I just can’t muster up enough empathy NOT to comment. I’m sure you’ll understand. But if it makes you feel better, odds are I won’t win and I’ll continue to use my noisy Hoover that wakes up the toddler every time I turn it on. Which is hardly ever.
October 6th, 2008 at 1:24 pm
MaryBeth @ FourSillySisters says:
A great giveaway! Thanks for the opportunity. I can’t believe that Oreck has donated so much money to fight cancer already!! Lovin’ the cute pinkness of this particular model…
October 6th, 2008 at 1:24 pm
Llama Momma says:
I would love to win an Oreck. Let’s see…because it’s cute? (Oh, and because I would LOVE to keep a vacuum upstairs. Since right now I have to drag my vacuum up the stairs, which means I’m vacuuming upstairs roughly twice a year….
October 6th, 2008 at 1:25 pm
re-dew says:
Because my son, my daughter, our dog and me think my beautiful wife deserves this awesome vacuum. Thank you!
October 6th, 2008 at 1:26 pm
Lyndsi says:
My DH blesses me by taking on the vacuuming every week. He HATES the cheap vacuum we currently have. I would love to bless him with a new (amazing!!) vacuum cleaner (even if it is pink =)
October 6th, 2008 at 1:26 pm
Kim H. says:
I’d love to win an Oreck because I’ve heard how wonderful they are, but would never be able to spend that much on a vaccum… the hubs just wouldn’t understand $600 for a vaccum!
October 6th, 2008 at 1:26 pm
Laura~texasokie says:
I would like to win this!! My vacuum is missing all the extra parts (boys lost them when they were fighting the monsters) and it won’t even stand still anymore (due to the fact that the boys used it to puch each other and broke it in the process)
October 6th, 2008 at 1:26 pm
Jeni says:
I LOVE how light this thing is! Our current vacuum works pretty well, but it weighs a ton – I know for sure it’s more than 25 pounds. The sheer weight of the thing makes me not vacuum as often – but with the Oreck, I’d whip that thing out all the time!
October 6th, 2008 at 1:27 pm
MemeGRL says:
I should be interested because my son has asthma and it has the great filtration.
I am secretly interested because I have a split level home and currently lug a vacuum that weighs more than my children up and down all those stairs. Llama Mama, I am with you.
And realize, for those of us who click over from Google Reader, our clicks may or may not show on your blog. Sorry about that!
October 6th, 2008 at 1:28 pm
kelli says:
I went to the oreck site from my bloglines and then came here, so I don’t know if it will show up. I did go though! 102 mph? Good grief.
I would lurve this vacuum because we’re currently on our sixth one in twelve years. I think this one would last much longer!
October 6th, 2008 at 1:28 pm
Janene says:
I would love to win this vaccuum! One because I have an aunt that is currently battling breast cancer and we are praying for her like mad as she faces this difficult time.
Two, I have a husband, a teenager and a cat that sheds like mad. Despite my best efforts there is still enough cat hair in this house to make another cat!
October 6th, 2008 at 1:29 pm
Tracye says:
Am I dreaming??? Are you really giving away a vacuum???
I still have the vacuum we bought 11 years ago when we got married. The deciding factor in purchasing it was it was the cheapest vacuum available at the Wal-Mart(s).
Ours is terrible. It spews out more than it sucks up.
My mother-in-law hinted to me, my husband, and my daughter that she was buying me a Dyson for my birthday, then didn’t. Which is fine. But I still have a really horrible vacuum.
My entire family suffers from severe allergies to dust, dander, pollens and molds, so this would be an amazing blessing!
Thanks so much for the chance to win it!
October 6th, 2008 at 1:29 pm
Holly @ Crownlaiddown says:
Now that would be fantastic, as my vacuum is on its last leg!
October 6th, 2008 at 1:29 pm
Lisa C. says:
I would lurve it because my current vacuum is starting to smell like it will ignite at any time. And while clean carpets would be great, disintegrated ones… not so much.
October 6th, 2008 at 1:29 pm
Stacia says:
I would lurve an Orveck because it’s pink!
October 6th, 2008 at 1:31 pm
Shannon says:
I’ve never owned an expensive vacuum. I would love to have one that cost more then $49.95. It would probably work a lot better huh?
October 6th, 2008 at 1:31 pm
Kimberly says:
I wanna win so my 3 year-old can pick up a choir. With as light weight as the Oreck is, it shouldn’t be a problem, right? I’m kidding. I just like the pink. And I like clean – not TO clean, but I prefer things that ARE clean. This will be almost as good as having a maid, ALMOST.
October 6th, 2008 at 1:31 pm
Neeser says:
I would love this vacuum because I am now having to vacuum everyday (new dog, 4 boys). I love that its light – it should be easier to get out and use than the one I have now.
October 6th, 2008 at 1:32 pm
Kimberly says:
For the record, I meant chore, not choir – so much for being funny.
October 6th, 2008 at 1:32 pm
Kim Miller says:
I love to Vacuum. I have had the same vacuum for over 15 years. I need a new Vacuum.
October 6th, 2008 at 1:32 pm
Angie-heartchild says:
I would most definitely “lurve” this vacuum because well…it says it’s agile enough to clean under things. This girl hasn’t been agile enough to clean under things since before her first pregnancy. A machine in my life like that? Now that’s love.
Angie
October 6th, 2008 at 1:32 pm
Amberly says:
I would love to have such a lightweight vacuum! Mine weighs a ton!
October 6th, 2008 at 1:32 pm
bpinks says:
why I want the Oreck- one word: stairs.
I have 2 sets of carpeted stairs in my house and lugging my vacuum up and down them may be the death of me. To have a lightweight vacuum would be a dream!
October 6th, 2008 at 1:33 pm
Nicki says:
I would love to win this! The one I have right now, sucks. Well, actually, it doesn’t suck…that’s what is wrong with it!! :)
October 6th, 2008 at 1:33 pm
Valerie says:
I’d love to have a pink Oreck vaccuum to see if that would induce my 15 y.o. DD to, you know, clean up after herself. Maybe?
October 6th, 2008 at 1:33 pm
Heather says:
I NEED a new vac! My handle pops off of the one I’ve had for nine years every time I push outward while I’m using it. It’s fun times. I love the Oreck and have heard great things about it but let’s be honest…I’d be happy to have anything that stays together while I use it :)
October 6th, 2008 at 1:33 pm
Patty says:
I would love to have an Oreck because of having a dog inside my home, meaning dog hair and Orecks 102 mph direct suction straight to the bag sounds great to me. I am certian that the Oreck would pick more than my current one.
Thanks for the chance to win.
Patty
October 6th, 2008 at 1:34 pm
Anna says:
To have a pink vacuum that goes from carpet to bare floors sounds heavenly! Plus the attachments to get cat hair off the sofa!! Need I say more. Also, my best friend has been diagnosed with breast cancer. She’s only 41! We need a cure.
October 6th, 2008 at 1:35 pm
Marcy says:
I need something pink and sassy to clean with!
October 6th, 2008 at 1:35 pm
Kate says:
Well Sophie, I’d lurve to win an Oreck because I am a clean freak and a germophobe! Knowing my floors were as clean as possible would reduce my anxiety!! :o)
October 6th, 2008 at 1:37 pm
Brandi says:
I would love this sweet little vacuum! Our tiny little church (dh is the pastor) just bought a decrepit old building and we could use this to clean up 50 years of nastiness. My husband’s grandfather, a crotchety old sailor, will be the “property manager,” and how cute would he be with a pink vacuum???
October 6th, 2008 at 1:37 pm
Kathleen says:
Uhhh, HELLO, Saniseal bags!!! You know a woman thought of that. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve had vacuum after changing the stinkin bag.
October 6th, 2008 at 1:39 pm
Melissa May says:
I’d lurve a vacuum that weighs less than a small child like my current one. (And do you really normally check the outclicks to make sure people really go to the sites??? That is amazing.) (I would be even more astounded if you actually are able to READ all the comments you get on this and that you got on Travis’s CD giveaway. Amazing again!)
October 6th, 2008 at 1:40 pm
Smoochiefrog says:
I’d love to win b/c maybe with a lighter vacuum, my kidlets wouldn’t complain so much about having to vacuum.
October 6th, 2008 at 1:43 pm
Emily says:
I would love a lighter one like this! We have lots of stairs and it would be great!
October 6th, 2008 at 1:44 pm
LisaAnniePants says:
That IS a cute vacuum!
I happen to be in need of a new one at this very moment :)
October 6th, 2008 at 1:44 pm
Jesse says:
I would love to win an Oreck because I have a cat, who sheds bunches. And because I am woman, who also sheds bunches myself. :-)
October 6th, 2008 at 1:45 pm
Chris says:
Lurve me the 9-lb. lightness of this baby, along with the “furniture friendly design.”
I hate, hate, HATE hauling all 5,000 lbs. of my Kirby around!
October 6th, 2008 at 1:46 pm
Rhonda says:
It says that if you use the Oreck you dust less often. That “sucked” me in right there. Get it? Get my silly little pun? No? Here, let me explain…..
October 6th, 2008 at 1:46 pm
Brittany D. says:
Well I would love a new Oreck because my Husband and I just bought our first house a week ago – we have a 4 year old lab who is SPOILED rotten, sleeps inside and loves to scratch her back on our carpet – and I am 6 months prego with our first Baby – gotta have the floors looking good for the little one. Oh yeah – and the fact that the vacuum we currently own “died” after about 6 months of use!
Thank you for the opportunity!
October 6th, 2008 at 1:46 pm
jennifer says:
I love the fact that it’s bagless AND also that it traps dust and allergens! That would improve my quality of life =)
October 6th, 2008 at 1:47 pm
Mary @ Simple Things says:
Oooo…it IS sassy. Why do I want one? Because I live in a very old house and the dust is just horrible. My attachments keep falling apart when I’m trying to suck up all the crud from all the molding around the windows, doors and floors. This vacuum would help me bunches!
October 6th, 2008 at 1:47 pm
Mary-Lindsey says:
Personally I would love a *GOOD* vacuum cleaner. When my hubby and I were first married, I actually bought a vacuum cleaner for $2,000 – yes, you read that correctly. The sales people were that good and I was that naive. I returned it the next day, and have had to live with the common folk vacuum cleaner for the last 4 1/2 years while secretly wishing for a *golden* one. My hubby is a youth pastor, so I don’t think I’ll be getting a *golden* one anytime soon – other than if I win this *golden *pink* (my favorite color, duh) one!!!
October 6th, 2008 at 1:48 pm
Martha says:
I would LOVE a lightweight, pink vacuum!!! Plus, I am sneezing at the moment… the allergen reduction would be a great bonus!
October 6th, 2008 at 1:48 pm
Kelly says:
I would lurve to win this vacuum because:
-2 toddlers
-1 husband
-all of us with allergies
-no vacuum b/c it broke a year ago and i can’t bring myself to spend that much money on one.
October 6th, 2008 at 1:48 pm
treehousemomma says:
My current vacuum cleaner is neither light nor powerful, and I need some power suction to get all those Barbie shoes up off the playroom floor!
Thanks for doing this again! I didn’t win last time :(

Laurie says:
Mom of four boys ages seven and under needs as much suction to clean dirt as she can get.
Think it can clean faces?
October 6th, 2008 at 1:49 pm
maxine bryant says:
How appropo, my cleaner died Saturday and I can’t afford another one right now. I’m one of these people (75 years old) who does not charge things and I’m a little short in the cash dept. until my SS check comes next month.
October 6th, 2008 at 1:49 pm
Kathy Storm says:
Ooo…I would love to win an Oreck…they have such a great reputation for quality.

Cause I’m a stay-home Dad and need all the help I can get!

Jodi says:
I would love to win an Oreck. I am a working mother (teacher) and have 3 rowdy, mess making precious little boys, and a husband in the agriculture business who all keep my house in a mess most of the time. I would eispecially like that oreck because it is so gosh darn cute. Also my mom is a breast cancer survivor, so we are “gay” for anything pink. Also, my current vacuum is a piece of junk, but who really wants to spend money on a vacuum?
October 6th, 2008 at 1:51 pm
Jerri Lynn says:
Very cute – love this pink Oreck! I would love to have one because we have hair – lots of dog hair – everywhere! I know a great vacuum would definitely help!
October 6th, 2008 at 1:51 pm
Mitzi says:
I would love the Oreck. I need a good vacume and have heard so many good things about them, but could never afford one. I like the Breat Cancer awaremenss too. Thanks for doing this!!
October 6th, 2008 at 1:52 pm
Stacy says:
I want to win the Oreck because I have a thing for Vacuums. I lurv them so much! Okay not really but it would totally beat my garage sell steal of a vacuum that seems to throw as much dust and debris as it sucks up.
October 6th, 2008 at 1:54 pm
gina says:
I would love the Oreck because I just vacuumed this morning and while I was doing it I developed a shoulder ache just from how heavy that darn thing is.
October 6th, 2008 at 1:54 pm
Rachel @ Grasping for Objectivity in my Subjective Life says:
it’s gorgeous! I would love to have it to help me actually WANT to vacuum? Maybe? Does it have that nifty effect also?
October 6th, 2008 at 1:55 pm
Karla says:
I would love to replace the vacum that I use because it is only 20 yrs old but I can’t get my hubby to get me a new one since this one works. He calls it a want not a need.
October 6th, 2008 at 1:55 pm
Shelly W. says:
I have a dog I love dearly, but I do NOT love her hair. I also have three daughters–all with long hair. I know that only Mr. Oreck could design a vacuum that could handle all that hair!
October 6th, 2008 at 1:55 pm
Karla says:

October 6th, 2008 at 1:55 pm
Lynne says:
What a great vacuum! I’d love to win this because my old Kirby (that weighs a ton) is smelling a lot like something is burning inside right now. With 2 dogs in the house, I really need a good sturdy reliable vacuum.
October 6th, 2008 at 1:58 pm
KountryMama says:
I love the sassy pink vacuums! Maybe I’ll win this time!!!

I would love to win this fancy-schmancy vacuum cleaner! With a puppy in the house it would come in very handy!
Hope this works through Bloglines. =)

Lori says:
I have always loved oreck vacuums! Have never been able to get one. They use them at the school my DS goes to and when I have been there to help out got to use them. L.O.V.E it!!!
October 6th, 2008 at 2:01 pm
Jesica says:
I would LURVE to win an Oreck because I’ve used them before when I worked as a maid – and I LURVE them! They work great, they’re SO light!
October 6th, 2008 at 2:01 pm
Joanna says:
1. It’s sassy and who doesn’t need some sass when battling the dirt, um, devil. hee hee
2. I just love a picture that shows a flow chart of dirt. Suddenly I have this urge to write the tale of the speck of dirt as it flies through the maze of tubes.
3. I, um, can’t remember what I was going to put but I’ll give a shout out to mr random person to give me some sweet lurv.

I would LOVE to win this vacuum! I will be having my very first baby in 86 days (not that I am counting) and I am already freaking out about the condition of my carpets. I have a very sweet, though very shed-prone chocolate lab who has managed to get hair EVERYWHERE in my house! My current vacuum just doesn’t do the job that I need and the super suction on this cute Oreck will do just the trick!!
Not to mention the fact that I am having a baby boy, the dog is a boy, and with my husband too I need as much pink girliness as I can get!

I’d love to win an Oreck because …
1. It is pink.
2. I need a new vacuum.
3. It is pink.

Cindy Beall says:
It’s like the Shekinah Glory is shining upon me. I have wanted an Oreck for so long. So much so, that my sweet, little neighbor a hundred yards down lets me borrow hers, which is a mere 8 pounds…less than my lower arm. I borrow it weekly, for which I am so very thankful, since my old vacuum is on it’s last leg and often decides to just stop sucking. Which is funny because it really does suck. No, really, it’s awful.
I was just telling the hubs the other day that I would sacrifice what I needed to in order to get me one of them there Orecks.
And lo and behold, here it is.
Pick me, pick me. Please?

Anything that would help with my children’s allergies would be wonderful!

Fox's Momma says:
Oh, what a blessing a new vacuum would be. Hypo-allergenic? It seems Oreck speaks my love language! I bet it would even make me WANT to vacuum! Well, maybe that’s puching it…but maybe not… ; )

With a rambunctious 3 year old and a husband who tracks everything into the house I NEED this Oreck! Plus it’s pink which totally rocks!

I have 3 floors that need vacuumed, and I love how light-weighted these are; that, plus a cat that likes to shed; and my other one is about to die.

Catherine says:
I LOVE the fact that it is powerful AND light weight! I want to win so, so bad!

Karen says:
There’s everything to lurve about this Oreck…bagless filter, 9 lbs,allergen deflector…ok, I’m laying it all out here..I am a 12 year BC survivor, I have 4 boys and 3 crawling grands and 2 furbabies, I have fibro and 9 lbs would be like a feather compared to what I use now…I want a new vac and one with a PINK RIBBON on it…and I will never be able to buy an Oreck! Feeling me yet?
Thanks for the chance!
October 6th, 2008 at 2:06 pm
Jennifer says:
Wow, What a great giveaway! I love that it is pink and black and that it is 9 lbs. That would be great to take up and down my stairs.
It says that you will dust less! How great is that! I hate dusting..it makes me sneeze!
It can also go under my furniture! Not sure how long its been since I moved the furniture and vacuumed so this would be great!
Thanks BooMama

Becca says:
I would LOVE to win this sassy vaccum because it is already on my Christmas list and that would open a slot for another wish!!:)
Besides, my current vaccum I have had for 10+ years and it was previously my great aunt’s. Needless to say, it is HEAVY. And I am pregnant with #3 so something like this would be awesome!!
October 6th, 2008 at 2:07 pm
Leslie @ The Late Bloomers says:
We have two cats, a dog, allergies, and asthma issues, so I would love a vac that traps 99.9% of dust and allergens.
And, based on my husband’s reaction to my pink hammer, I would so love to see him using a pink vacuum. But if this doesn’t work out, maybe I’ll have some fun and take a can of pink spray paint to our current vacuum.
October 6th, 2008 at 2:07 pm
Kristen M. says:
The dog just came home with fleas (I know, yuck!) and I need a powerful vacuum to suck away all the grossness. Not to mention that my vacuum is ten years old and falls apart on a regular basis. I also love that this vacuum is lightweight.
October 6th, 2008 at 2:07 pm
Laura says:
I would LOVE to win because my vacuum is breaking, and this one is way better than I could ever afford, and I love how light and easy to use they are!!
October 6th, 2008 at 2:09 pm
Reformed Grits says:
Because I’m tired of carrying the vacuum upstairs for the kids to use and it would be fan-tastic to have one for each floor. I’m lazy like that.

Melissa says:
Oh, how I’d love to have this Oreck vacuum to go with my pink carpet in the living room! It will be perfect to get up my puppy’s hair..she’s a pomeranian named Baby! :)

I’d love some pink on my vacuum…it would definitely make vacuuming more of a fun activity rather than a chore!!
October 6th, 2008 at 2:10 pm
Kelly says:
Okay why would I lurve the new vacuum? I’m a mom. I have a boy. He is messy. And I have a dog. Equally as messy. And man it just would be nice to not have to spend the money on the vacuum. I have been looking for a new one for a while but have been afraid to make the committment to getting a new one. But man. I like that handle. I can hold a baby and vacuum at the same time with that handle. And anything that says it makes carpets last longer is good for me.

WriterChic (Monica) says:
I would love to win this because my husband’s job has us relocating from OH to TN at the end of the year. We house-hunted in Nashville this weekend, and found out this morning that our offer on a beautiful new home was accepted! So, I could sure use a great vacuum to keep my new home-sweet-home clean!

anne jackson says:
So sassy!
My asthma is triggered by allergies to dust and mold, and unbeknownst to me before we moved in to our rental (circa 1970) both abound in evil little pockets.
My husband also has a plethora of allergies, but at least the boy’s lungs don’t shut off.
It’s simple. Asthma medicine – $120/month. Oreck to help – Free.
And to see my hubs pushing a pink vacuum cleaner – priceless.

Pick up tons of dog hair AND help fight breast cancer? Why would I NOT love to have an Oreck….

It would be so much more fun vaccuming with a PINK vaccum than a regular ordinary looking one!!
October 6th, 2008 at 2:12 pm
Julie says:
Because it is so pretty it would make vacuuming more often less of a chore. =) and I would LOVE to finally have a vacuum that wouldn’t kill my back to carry up and down stairs!
October 6th, 2008 at 2:12 pm
Jenni S. says:
What a great give-away! Having a child with many allergies, this vacuum could help make the difference between constant congestion and clear airways. Count me in!
October 6th, 2008 at 2:15 pm
Amanda says:
I’d love to win an Oreck because my current vacuum smells perpetually like dirty dogs. And because I am an OCD wife married to a man who is utterly opposed to cleanliness. And because we are young newlyweds who are pinching pennies!
October 6th, 2008 at 2:15 pm
Lisa says:
Love it! My favorite part is the self adjusting between carpet and bare floor!
October 6th, 2008 at 2:15 pm
Lori says:
I would lurve to have that vaccum first and formost because it’s pink. I own a pink hair dryer, and have been NEEDING a pink vaccum. Did I mention I live with four boys (1 handsome husband 3 lovely little darlings). Anything pink I can get my hands on. Second my vaccum my parents gave me when I got married broke. Being a stay at home Mom I had to buy the cheapest one I could find. I can’t even get through the whole upstairs before I have to empty it. It loses suction. It’s only job. Seriously? Oh, I would just love that vaccum!
October 6th, 2008 at 2:17 pm
Staci at Writing and Living says:
I would love to win an Oreck because my current vacuum weighs 600 pounds (give or take) and I am tired of dragging it up and down the stairs.

Love the Saniseal system! So smart! No more dust flying everywhere when you change the dirty bag. Yay!

Lisa@take90west says:
So after the past few days I’ve had, this is probably the wrong time to enter…but I’ll give it a try and hope my luck changes!
I think I would really enjoy the self adjusting feature. I didn’t know that until I went over to the site and read the description, but that would very convenient to, you know, not have to actually bend over and flip the little switch everytime I go from carpet to wood.

I would love an Oreck! I currently use my mom’s hand-me-down 10-year old vacuum–suffice it to say, it does not work well! Plus, October 14 is my birthday so come one, I HAVE to win! :)
October 6th, 2008 at 2:20 pm
Gina Green says:
I have an in house vac system which I love however, I am too lazy to drag the 50 foot hose and vacuum handle either up stairs or down. I would love to have a vacuum cleaner to keep in the lower level to put in the hands of my daughter and her friends after one of their sleep overs. If the Oreck is as fantastic as they claim it is, I’m sure it will have no problems tackling popcorn,candy wrappers, potato chip, and an occasional bobby pin or elastic hair tie. If their claim that “Changing bags is effortless, odorless and clean.”, then I’m all over that too!

Leigh says:
122nd comment, pretty good!! My husband and i looked at an Oreck and wanted one but ended up getting another one. Looking back we should have gooten it because the one we bought ended up breaking and we had to buy another one. At the end of it all we could have gotten the Oreck^&*&*:)
I would love to win, i love pink!!

Oooh OOoh oOoOh!! I would lurve to have this vacuum because Shirley Q. Liquor would be so proud of me and I know she would Lurve for me to have it and she would pick it up for me in her Mali-brew, which she just lurves! ANd I Neeeeedddddd the thingy where it adjusts from carpets to bare floors :)
We lurve you BooMama!
October 6th, 2008 at 2:24 pm
Beverly says:
I have wanted an Oreck for such a long time. I would love to go to my tile floors after I’m done with my carpet. Another plus is since it’s so light weight my children would have no reason to not help vacuum!!!!! Pick me, please!!!!
October 6th, 2008 at 2:24 pm
Melissa @ Anxious for Nothing says:
Looks amazing! Count me in. PINK IS MY FAVORITE COLOR! I would be ecstatic to own a pink vacuum!
October 6th, 2008 at 2:24 pm
Megan says:
I love how lightweight and manuverable Orecks are and as someone who often moves from carpet to hardwood flooring I love that the vacuum self adjusts. The only way I’ll get one is if I win it, so I’m giving it a shot!
October 6th, 2008 at 2:26 pm
Rhoda says:
They had me at hypo-allergenic! I’d love to have one of those bagless vacs & I’ve heard great things about Oreck. Yeah oh yeah, I would….maybe it will be my lucky day this time.

Lora Lynn says:
I am in love with my Roomba, but as I am unable to run it, people have been coming over and using my old upright. It smells. It smells bad. And it doesn’t pick anything up. consequently, my floors haven’t been clean in over 9 weeks. However, if I won this, I’d give it to… Oh, the possibilities are endless. My step-mom, for keeping my kids while I’ve been on bed rest. Maybe she’ll speak to me afterward…
October 6th, 2008 at 2:27 pm
Queen B says:
I’d love to win an Oreck because I first got one when we got married (14 years ago) and I have loved it Oh So Much. I think that the newer model is lighter and more allergy-friendly. Plus, it is much cuter. And that is very important in vacuuming.
October 6th, 2008 at 2:28 pm
Kelli says:
I so need this vaccuum. The high-ceiling attachments sound so exciting. Not to mention my vaccuum won’t even pick up a string. She’s on her last leg! Pick me!
October 6th, 2008 at 2:29 pm
Erica says:
I’ve always wanted one of those fancy Orecks…and this one is even black and PINK? But, I really would like to win it because I just read of its hypo-allergenic filtration. I just got an email from a friend looking for help for a coworker with a baby that has just been released from the ICU for her severe asthma and they were advised they needed to buy a $400 vacuum that they could not afford. This would be perfect.
October 6th, 2008 at 2:29 pm

Who WOULDN’T love a $600 vacuum?? I have 3 small children, and there’s always a mess.

I would love this Oreck because nothing would entice me to vacuum my house like something new with which to vacuum. Also, it is pink. Also, my current vacuum cleaner is a dust buster. (:
October 6th, 2008 at 2:31 pm
Sarah says:
Reasons I would love to win:
1. I have 2 cats that love to leave their fluffy hair all over the place!
2. I hate to vacuum & maybe a new Oreck would bring me some vacuum joy!
3. I have entered countless blog giveaways and never ever won! ::tear::

Zack says:
I would love the Oreck to give to my wife. Our vacuum was seriously sucking (in the bad way, not in the way a vacuum should). So we went and saw a bunch of Oreck’s and she got pretty pumped about getting one. But then I convinced her to see if we could get by for a bit longer without spending the cash on a new ‘cuum. While a change of a filter has helped a bit, we’re in dire need of an upgrade – and i’d love to surprise her with it.
October 6th, 2008 at 2:35 pm
Rebekah says:
I would love an Oreck because my current vacuum sucks. Well, actually it DOESN’T suck. ACTUALLY, it DOES suck stuff up, but only as far as the hose (and recently not even that far … the tube that the hose is connected to, lately). You know, rather than the canister, where it belongs. So lucky me gets to detach the hose and PULL THE DIRT OUT (I use … get this … a fondue poker to get at the stuff, lol!). So yeah, I could really use a cute, FUNCTIONING vacuum right about now! =)
October 6th, 2008 at 2:36 pm
Becky Jo says:
I want it. I want it. I WANT IT!!!
Because – the lame brain who built this house put white carpet in three bedrooms and navy blue in the fourth. Both colors that capture and show every little thing. They also put in an in-wall vacuum system. Which doesn’t suck worth a hoot. Which stinks!
Also because I do not like carrying the one vacuum, that DOES suck, up and down the stairs and then holding it at an angle so as not to wear a hole in the rug with the overzealous brush bar (which HAS happened, thank you very much!!)
AND, also, because, if you go to my blog you can tell, I am all about the cause. Cancer needs to GO AWAY!!!
So, please pick me!
October 6th, 2008 at 2:37 pm
Carrie says:
I would LOVE to win this no doubt! I have two black labs and a 4 year old and I have to vaccum a lot. I like this feature “The built-in filtration system traps 99.9% of all dust and allergens down to 0.3 microns. The dust on the floor doesn’t blow back into the air and end up on your furniture. So you could dust less often.” This would really help me!!
October 6th, 2008 at 2:38 pm
Melanie Dawn says:
4 kids and it seems they all somehow emit dust. And the handle looks so ergonomic indeed! We’ve got 6 people and 6 people’s stuff living in a SMALL house, so I’d love me a little Oreck to clean all those tight spaces!!
October 6th, 2008 at 2:38 pm
KaRetha says:
I would love to win this Oreck because it’s PINK! My favorite color. Not to mention I need a new vacuum. Mine is a “hand me down” and it’s time for a new one.
October 6th, 2008 at 2:39 pm
Rebecca says:
I could really use a vaccum. I don’t have one and always have to borrow one from my Mom!

I WANT THIS SUCKER!!! No pun intended!
My old Kenmore (got it for Valentine’s from hubby several years ago) Yes….he’s all mine girls! Mr. Loverboy!
It’s bit the dust and we’ve replaced parts several times only to hear it SCREAM every time I try to vacuum.
Can you say frustrating?
Flippin sweet, it’s pink!
October 6th, 2008 at 2:43 pm
Anne says:
While I was sitting here thinking of all the reasons I “need” that new vacuum, I noticed not one of my issues wasn’t already posted – except for maybe that I HATE cleaning and this will help inspire me (in all it’s pinkness) – especially with a house to sell fast in a terrible market so our family can be transfered for my husband’s new job together! I’m sure a cool, pink vacuum would be totally inspirational, right!? :)
October 6th, 2008 at 2:43 pm
Kim Andress says:
oh my heart. I have wanted an Oreck for as long as I have known about them. My MIL hearts hers. With a busy household and 5 kids dropping stuff all the live long day, I would so use this baby.
thanks!
October 6th, 2008 at 2:44 pm

I’d LURVE an ORECK because the “direct suction” has GOT to be better than the not-so-direct suction involved with my current vacuum.
October 6th, 2008 at 2:44 pm
K-Mama says:
I’d LURRRVE to win this vacuum so i could give it to my 26 year old single son, who lives in an apartment and does NOT OWN A VACUUM AND DOESN’T UNDERSTAND WHY THAT MAKES ME TYPE IN ALL CAPS! Of course, he would get my old one and I’d get this lovely thing, because what 26 year old who doesn’t see the importance of a vacuum needs this? But his mamma does!
October 6th, 2008 at 2:44 pm
Jessica says:
I would love to win this vacuum! Like most other moms I’m constantly sweeping and vacuuming my home. With a 5-year-old boy, 2-year-old girl and 11 month-old-girl, I’m always finding some mess somewhere! I’d love to have a more efficient vacuum! :)
October 6th, 2008 at 2:46 pm
LaShawn says:
I would love a new Oreck because we live on a farm and the boys bring in so much sand, gravel and grass. I could use something powerful to get all that dirt. Thanks for the giveaway. Do you think the boys would like the pink? :-)
October 6th, 2008 at 2:47 pm
Sarah P says:
That vacuum is too cute for words and it sounds like it would work like a dream. I would love to win it!
October 6th, 2008 at 2:47 pm
Anita says:
You had me from hypo-allergenic! Then I find out it is lightweight and I think it would be fabulous, fabulous, fabulous because it won’t wear me out when I use it AND it will be light enough for the middle child to use it. She does love to vacuum, you know. I’m not kidding. She’s nine and she loves to vacuum and cook (with supervision, of course). She’s like a tiny little Martha Stuart, except she’s not too good at croquet. Emily and I would LOVE to win a new vacuum, BooMama, but to win a pink Clean for the Cure Oreck during breast cancer awareness month, well, that would just be over the top.
Thanks for the giveaway BooMama and Oreck! What fun!
October 6th, 2008 at 2:48 pm
Amanda says:
Best feature? It works (presumably). My current one is iffy in that department! And I have an 18 mo. old son. A working vacuum is a necessity around here! Thanks!

Yet another INCREDIBLE giveaway – thanks to you, BooMama!!
I was given a generous gift of a vacuum from my wonderful m-i-l, but it is one of those BAGLESS ones, and I cannot tell you how gross it is to empty and see all the dust fly around again.
My dust allergies would also like to register, but they don’t have their own email account, so they’ll just have to cheer me on : )
October 6th, 2008 at 2:51 pm
lori says:
Well I would love to win, cause your mom and sister have to be right in their love for the oreck and from the site i like this:
Furniture-friendly Design
Its low profile, soft top-and-sides make it easy to clean around and under furniture without scratching it. Side brushes make cleaning baseboards and edges easier too.
October 6th, 2008 at 2:52 pm
Kat says:
I NEED this Orick because my old vacuum is screaming “uncle” everytime I crank her up. She’s old…and tired. Would this one by the way crank up and vacuum my floors with the snap of my finger all by her sweet little self? I mean, without me behind it actually doing real housework??? Because I’m old and tired too.
October 6th, 2008 at 2:52 pm
Amy says:
I have five children three of whom are under the age of three, a dog, and three cats. We might not need a dining room table, but we sure as heck need a vacuum. And my little ole 45.99 vacuum from Wal-mart is mighty picky about what it will pick up!

Donna @ Way More Homemade says:
Well, pink is not my favorite color, however, I do have to admit the sassyness is a draw.

Karen says:
I am craving a lightweight vacuum that still gets the job done. During the brief stint I had help with my housework (Merry Maids), they used the Oreck, and I *loved* my floors… they always felt a lot different than they did after I vacuumed with my Dyson.
October 6th, 2008 at 2:55 pm
Jenna says:
I have two cats, a dog and a very messy husband. I would love to not have to replace our carpets any time too soon (and the vacuum website says that it extends the life of the vacuum)… Frankly, I don’t deserve a new vacuum any more than any one else does but I promise I would love it if I won (especially if it helped to make my husband a little less messy!).
October 6th, 2008 at 2:55 pm
Ladonna says:
I would Lurve to have this Oreck because it supports the Susan G Kolmen Foundation. I also have never owned a new vacume cleaner. Ours came from my mother-in-law it is a big old heavy Kirby and its starting to need to be retired.
October 6th, 2008 at 2:56 pm
Jackie @ Our Moments Our Memories says:
I would love this because my vacuum is ancient. Something my hubs had way before we were married,and it weighs a ton. So this lightweight sassy beauty would be perfect. Thanks, BooMama!

Laurie in TN says:
I just “buried” my 19-year old Rainbow vacuum and would love to win this! I love the fact that it is lightweight and traps dirt right away.

October 6th, 2008 at 3:01 pm

It doesn’t scatter dust like other vacuums, so I wouldn’t have to dust as often?!! I LOVE it!
October 6th, 2008 at 3:02 pm
holly says:
I love the idea that it automatically adjusts from carpet to bare floors (see, i read the site!). Having mostly wood floors w/ rugs, it’s been hard to find a decent vacuum to work on the hard floors. Since our house is older and less weather sealed, helping to collect dust with a decent machine will be lovely. Of course, I love that they support the fight against breast cancer – a great cause.

4 kids 9 and under and a husband. This would do wonders in my home!

If I won the Oreck, why, I think it might just save my marriage. I kid you not. :) I’m married to the world’s cleanest fella.
Seriously..we are in desperate need of a new vacuum. My little one suffers from allergies and asthma somethin’ fierce and our trust HEPA vacuum had “given up the ghost” so to speak. It looks like the Oreck traps 99.-something percent of all dust and allergens (see, I read).

It’s also super-cute. :)

I have a hand-me-down Oreck and even though I love it…. I would sure love a brand-spanking new model!!!

Leslie Ruth says:
The vacuum cleaner that we currently use is one my husband bought in his bachelor days and I kid you not when I tell you that it weighs close to FORTY POUNDS. I would rather kill a giant spider with my bare hands than vacuum with that thing. So clearly, my reasons for loving the NINE POUND Oreck are too numerous to count!

I would LOOOVEEE a vacum cleaner that I didn’t have to lug up each stair to vacum…and it’s pink!!

Count me in- I really need a new vacuum!

Pam C. says:
I would love to win this vacuum because of the light weight feature (arthritis) and the hypo-allergenic feature (allergies). It is nice to see companies donate to charities and this one is close to my heart. My mom died of breat cancer when I was 14 years old. Thanks to the Oreck Company. Hopefully, one day, there will be a cure for this dreaded disease.

I’d love to have a vacuum because the one I have weighs a TON.

Five kids. Big messes. Teeeny little vac bag. This is one fo those times when bigger is definitely better.
October 6th, 2008 at 3:10 pm
Laura D says:
I would LOVE the Oreck because the vacuum I have does not do its job. It leaves nastiness all over the place, and when I turn it off it basically spits out half the stuff it took in (as if it is laughing in my face for trying to accomplish having clean floors or something). Plus, I am a newlywed supporting my husband so he can finish his Masters/PhD, needless to say a new vacuum really isn’t in the budget.
MORE IMPORTANTLY, I would love to help support such a great cause, raising money for breast cancer. I lost my Grandmommy to her second battle with breast cancer a few years ago and I try the best I can to support anything “pink” in her honor! I know she would be proud to see her Granddaughter cleaning the house with a pink vacuum, just one more pink item to help “Fight the Cause.”

I would LURVE to win this vacuum b/c the one I have right now falls over everytime I use it, and it is horrible. Also I have two small children that drop dirt everywhere they go. :) Plus it’s PINK!!

life with the wisners says:
so far, 203 other people want to win just as badly. and it’s only day one. not good odds.
would it help if i told you that i think david oreck resembles my dad? no? didn’t think so.
how about “my husband would like me to win an oreck?”
October 6th, 2008 at 3:13 pm
Little Blue Bungalow says:
Wow! What a wonderful opportunity to get excited about cleaning! I would “lurve” to win this Oreck so I don’t have to go over my floors a million times with my regular vacuum. I hate cleaning all day.

Mama Hen says:
Oh, please pick me!!! I love that the Oreck self-adjusts itself to clean any floors or carpets. My poor vacuum is so pitiful I don’t even drag it out. I just sweep at the carpet or use my little tiny floor sweeper. Oh, I need this!
October 6th, 2008 at 3:14 pm
Sally T. says:
With a hairy dog and a hairy cat, & 2 more cat fosters soon coming into our home from the shelter, we NEED a great vacuum cleaner. Our old, lovable Hoover just isn’t doing the job anymore. And we love our 2 Oreck air cleaners already, so we know they have great products. Count me in, please!
October 6th, 2008 at 3:15 pm
Ashlie says:
Oooo! A PINK vacuum cleaner? And an Oreck at that? Count me in!! When the website said “Dust less often” that sealed the deal. Not that I dust all that often anyway, but who’s checking? I would LOVE to win this puppy, er, vacuum!
October 6th, 2008 at 3:15 pm
missy (from PA) says:
hey boo mama, i do not own an oreck, but i did once have a kirby. did not like my kirby. i wonder why the funny bag like pack thing shown in the pictures of the oreck. i did tho, against all my judgement, put a vacuum on my christmas list. i have picked out the new bissel healthy home. but yah, an oreck would do! happy monday!
October 6th, 2008 at 3:16 pm
Jeana says:
I would “lurve” to win an Oreck because I’m tired of having to buy a new cheapy vacuum every 6 months plus one day (that one day would be the day after the warranty goes out, of course) and I’m ready to play like the big boys; assuming the big boys vacuumed, and usually they don’t but that’s another comment for another day now isn’t it?
October 6th, 2008 at 3:18 pm
Laura says:
I love that it goes from carpet to hard surfaces adjusting automatically- we have lots of tile in different places- and I love that it weighs so little- training my 9 year old little man to vacuum would be so much easier if he could manuver a lighter vacuum!
October 6th, 2008 at 3:18 pm
PisecoMom says:
Oh, I’d love this. My son has severe dust allergies and though we’ve removed most of the carpet in the house, the living room is still wall-to-wall. A great, hypo-allergenic, dust-reducing vacuum has NOT been in the budget, and my only hope is to win one! Thanks.

I would love to have a vacuum that would actually pick stuff up! We desperately need a new vacuum and I just haven’t wanted to spend the money on it because if I do I want it to be a good one!
I love that the Oreck hypo-allergenic filtration as my husband has VERY bad allergies…and it’s cute!!
October 6th, 2008 at 3:27 pm
Lauren Chandler says:
What I love about the Oreck…
its ergonomically-shaped handle (proof that I visited the website)
and
it’s pink!
October 6th, 2008 at 3:29 pm
Lisa says:
I would love to win this because, first of all, it’s pink!! Secondly, because my vacuum cleaner broke about 6 months ago and my husband refuses to fix it. He says it works just fine….even though it doesn’t really suck so much as push the crumbs and dog hair around the house.
And, it’s pink!!!
October 6th, 2008 at 3:29 pm

I still have that “just got married” vacuum cleaner and could really use a good one around the house. This is an wonderful giveaway! Thanks for sending this opportunity our way!!

Kerry-Colored With Memories says:
oh…i’d love to win.
this allergy ridden house needs its hypoallergenic features.

motomom says:
I was going to get a Dyson a couple of years ago, however my husband, after talking to a (male) neighbor suggested another (less expensive) vacuum. After doing much online research I purchased the other vacuum and all was good.
Recently, however, my husband has taken over the vacuuming duties and is less than impressed with the vacuum he encouraged me to purchase. Every time he vacuums recently he asks me when we we can get an Oreck. Apparently he has done some online research of his own and his heart is set on an Oreck.
If you choose me I will send you a picture of my manly man using his beloved pink Oreck.
October 6th, 2008 at 3:38 pm
Elizabeth says:
Well who wouldn’t want one?!? I mean it has an ergonomically designed handle, is furniture friendly and will extend the life of my carpet. Do you think there’s any chance it could revive my carpet?
October 6th, 2008 at 3:38 pm
Brandy says:
I would LOVE to win this vacuum! My current vacuum cleaner is one that was given to me by my mother-in-law. It was VERY used when I received it, but she knew we needed one. The last time I used it, it smelled like a belt was burning! So, I need this, want this, gotta have this!

light, hypo-allergenic, hand held for staris. Oh, be still my beating heart!

Well, first of all I love that it is pink! If I have to vacuum, then at least I’ll look “pretty in pink”. I also like that it can go from carpet to flooring. Great give-away, and great cause.
October 6th, 2008 at 3:39 pm
pam says:
I haven’t read all the comments after reading all the cool features of this vacuum . . . and the fact that it is so darn cute has me almost speechless anyway, but I so need, need, need this vacuum and haven’t ever won anything big online. The fact that I am fairly bubbling over getting a vacuum shows how much I really, really, really need it.
I have gone through four, yes, FOUR cheap-o vacuums this year! I am so tired of having to wonder if the machine is going to pick anything up when I plug it in that I am tempted to just sit down and clean up the floors on my hands and knees. This vacuum would ease my load greatly. Orecks are known for being lightweight, and that is exactly what I need with having fibromyalgia.
Thanks for hosting this Sophie! I sure appreciate you!!
October 6th, 2008 at 3:40 pm
Eugene says:
I would love to win this so we could really get our carpets clean for our new baby and 2 yr old to avoid the allergy junk..plus our old vacuum is just that..old..so please please please pick me!!

This would be the perfect way to train for the vacuum Olympics. All tryouts can be held at my house multiple times a week, please feel free to come over if interested. Preferably 4 times a week due to children, pets and spouse….

Wow! A 9 lb vacuum that cleans under furniture without an attachment? And self-adjusts from carpet to bare floor? Oh, I hope I win!

Lee says:
I would love to win this beeeUtiful Oreck because my current vacuum cleaner stinks… literally. It has a nasty smell whenver I turn it on. It also sprays dust all around my house which is not very effective when trying to clean up after my two adorable pugs. My husband would also appreciate this Oreck because he wouldn’t have to hear me yell at my current vacuum every time I try to clean. We would buy a new one, but we have only been married a year and we are broke 20 somethings. There is my short synopsis of one part of my life that is in desperate need of a makeover.

Pick me!! Pick me!!
My house is a pigpen, maybe my wife would get off her duff and vacuum if I won this for her.
Maybe. I might even do it myself. (don’t hold your breath on that one)
October 6th, 2008 at 3:49 pm
Amy says:
Well, I’d like to have the Oreck because, you know, the pink is too adorable. Also, we had one many years ago and lost it in a move. It was a tragic day.

I NEED to win this because I have coveted one for a long time and there is NO WAY my husband would let me spend $500 on it!

a pink vacuum cleaner? does one need another reason?
October 6th, 2008 at 3:51 pm
Jen Tepe says:
Why do I need the vacuum….well, I don’t myself but I have a very good hearted and kind mother in law who won’t let us buy one for her (too much $…we did and she returned it and gave the $ back to us) and rather uses hers that is held together by duct and electrical tape. If I win, it’s an early Merry Christmas to her. I pinkie swear on it. I have a central beam that I love.
October 6th, 2008 at 3:52 pm

We need a new vacuum because ours has a serious lack of suction. And when it comes to a vacuum, suction should be the top priority :) I love how this one is lightweight!

Amy N. says:
My mother and I both own Oreck vacuum cleaners and love them with a passion that is a little extreme to those who don’t know and love the fabulousness that is the Oreck vacuum cleaner. However, my mother is in need of an upgrade and I would love to win one for her. Plus, it is pink, how much fun is that?
October 6th, 2008 at 3:55 pm
Phyllis @ Aimless Conversation says:
This beauty would be greast in my home because heloo…it’s PINK! (okay, with some black)
Also, it is my slavelet’s (er, children’s) job to vacuum our home and the lightweight oreck xl would be muuuuch easier to lug up and down the stairs here.
Pick me! pick me!
October 6th, 2008 at 3:57 pm
3m's Mama says:
I’d LURVE one because I’ve heard fabulous things about them and this one is actually cute. Not that cute is a feature I necessarily need in a vacuum cleaner but it doesn’t hurt…
October 6th, 2008 at 3:58 pm
Mindy says:
I don’t win these things.
But Heck all I’ve got to loose is this comment!
I’m likeing the “soft top-and-sides make it easy to clean around and under furniture without scratching it”. Because with 2 dogs & 2 boys THAT is what I’m worried about “scratching” the furniture!
October 6th, 2008 at 3:58 pm

I would love to have this because I have 3 dogs of my own and when my kids come over. I also have two new little grandbabies that will need to be crawling on that carpet and I can think of nothing I need more than that awesome Oreck vacumn cleaner.
October 6th, 2008 at 4:01 pm
chilihead says:
I would love-oh-love with queso and fried chicken to win this vacuum. Why? Because I have borrowed a friend’s Oreck and it was everything I’ve ever wanted in a vacuum–light and powerful.
October 6th, 2008 at 4:01 pm
Stephanie says:
I used my vacuum last night and there is a funky odor coming from it. I am afraid it is about to go on the fritz. A new Oreck would be mighty sweet indeed!
October 6th, 2008 at 4:03 pm
Brenda Branch says:
I just want it because it would be from you… I also have a little dog that sheds on everything, everywhere. Plus all those other features they tell you on the site.
Pick me Pick me.

I should really win this because I have had a HEAVY vacuum for years and the Oreck is so LIGHT! My husband thinks my vacuum is fine, but you don’t see him hauling it up the stairs!

stephanie (ocean mommy) says:
Oh Boo!
This is my dream…and I’m not kidding…I’ve been through 4 vacumn cleaners in 2 years….I NEED this!!!

Jessica says:
If my vacuum were a person, I would have fired it long ago. And if I were a rich person, I would have replaced it long ago. I would love to upgrade to a fancy pink vacuum! And I thought I would be 80 before I would describe a vacuum as fancy!
October 6th, 2008 at 4:14 pm

I LOVE the hypoallergenic filters on this thing!!! With a daughter, two dogs, two cats, and a husband it would get a LOT of use!

October 6th, 2008 at 4:20 pm
Linda Sue says:
Love the pinkness – the hypoallergenically suction strength of the Oreck and would be thrilled to gift such a vacuum to a local shelter so they could raffle it off and raise a big wad of money(cause I already own an Oreck and they are FAB)
October 6th, 2008 at 4:21 pm
Danielle says:
So my vacuum cleaner isn’t working as of last week. And I’m way tired of looking at dirty carpet. And I wish I had something oh so clever to say about why I need a new vacuum but I don’t (other than mine is busted up).
But I like your blog. And your name (thinkin’ about nicknaming my self BoMama but it doesn’t have the same ring). I’m southern to the core- AL girl exported to MS.
Does flattery help? If so, I’ll be glad to re-post more :)
October 6th, 2008 at 4:22 pm
Amy says:
I would love to win an Oreck because with a husband, toddler, and a very furry dog, I can all the help I can get. My vacuum desperately needs to be dumped. Also, we could definitely use the help with our allergies!!

I’d love to win because I am currently terrified of the vacuum I own. ; )

Kim @ My Little Corner of History says:
I would LURVE to have an Oreck because my poor mother has had the same heavy, bulky, pain-in-the-derriere for over 20 years, but can’t bring herself to pay the money for a nice, new, spiffy (pink!) Oreck…possibly because she was putting someone (me) through college. Poor woman deserves it!
October 6th, 2008 at 4:30 pm
Anna says:
Oh, BooMama! I would love this Oreck to pick up all the dog hairs that litter my home from my sweet pug!!!

October 6th, 2008 at 4:43 pm
Tanna says:
Oh, how I would love one of these. I would be a vacuuming diva with one so light and my stairs would get some more vacuum love. The fact that it is pink is icing on the cake!
Maybe, since it’s so lightweight the kids would take over the job. Hmmm.

I bought a new vacuum in December, and it’s worth just about the little amount of money that I paid for it. I would love to have a really nice vacuum cleaner, but I have always been too cheap to buy one. Also, a friend of ours was diagnosed with breast cancer in February. She just finished her last days of radiation and chemo. So, I love that they are donating money to breast cancer research. Thanks for the chance.

I’d LURVE to win because my current vacuum has a short in the switch making it a pain to try and use the attachments. Not to mention the fact that I’m afraid I’m going to get electrocuted one of these times.

October 6th, 2008 at 4:52 pm
Denise says:
I love that it’s pink AND I could so use a vacuum that would actually reside downstairs among the kids and the playroom and the cat little box. It’s so hard to drag vacuum cleaners up and down the stairs.
You are so fun.
October 6th, 2008 at 4:55 pm
Dawn says:
I have a US shipping address, so does that count?? Hope so! :) I would looove an Oreck because, well, three kids, possibly more on the way, homeschooling, work part-time, pastor’s wife…I need my vacuuming to be as thorough as possible ’cause sometimes it’s a looong time in between, lol! ;)
October 6th, 2008 at 4:55 pm
Maren says:
I would love an Oreck so I could actually pick up the crumbs of unknown orgin that my 2 and 5 yr old seem to deposit daily. My current vacuum is terrible and it forces me to cringe when I walk across the floor barefoot since “stuff” sticks to my feet

5 kids (almost 6), 2 dogs (1 50lbs and 1 100 lbs.), 2 cats and 1 husband. I need a vacuum that is light so I can vacuum and hold the baby on my hip. I need a vacuum that can pick up animal hair. And I need a vacuum that is cute – for me, of course. This one covers all those areas.
Let’s pray the vacuum gods shine upon me this time.

Ashley @ mrs007.net says:
Let me just preface by saying that I have a 92 lb dog who looks like Chewbacca. I also have 2 cats that crap in a box and track kitty litter all over the place.
Soooo…my house cleaning tools have to be at a certain level of awesomeness. I think this vacuum would make my life happier and easier. I am so tired of cleaning 40 billion leaves and trillions of tiny kitty litter granules off of the floor. But it might be bearable with this machine.
October 6th, 2008 at 5:03 pm
Julie says:
I have been married for 12 years and I have never bought a vacuum cleaner. My husband came into our marriage with a vacuum from his mother and my guess is that it is 30+ years old.
Needless to say, I could use a new one.

I would love to win this . thanks

Mary Helen says:
I would love an Oreck so that I would not have to lug around my ridiculously heavy vacuum that does not pick up all of the dirt! Plus it is toooo cute!
October 6th, 2008 at 5:06 pm
Minnesotamom says:
I would like to win the vacuum, but I’m afraid I wouldn’t feel right with one that gives part of its proceeds to Susan G. Komen. On the surface they seem like a good organization, but part of their profits go to Planned Parenthood (a.k.a. Abortion promotion). I really, really don’t mean to rain the Oreck parade, but I thought you might be interested to know that.

With all of the dog hair flying around, I do believe this would do the trick! Thanks for a great giveaway chance!

My 98 pound black lab is the reason that my current non-Oreck vacuum needs replacing. My carpet would thank you!
October 6th, 2008 at 5:14 pm
Sandy says:
Lurve it…lurve it…want it! It just kills my old back (I’m really old) to lug a vacuum up and down the stairs. The ancient model I have upstairs coughed and died from dust intoxication! If I win, I will be sad to lose all my dust bunny friends. Well, maybe for a second right before I plug in my brand new Oreck.
October 6th, 2008 at 5:16 pm
Lee Armstrong says:
My wife would love me forever if she had a brand new PINK, FREE Oreck vacuum! Thanks for the opportunity.
October 6th, 2008 at 5:16 pm
Jenni says:
I would LOVE to give this to my mom… I vaccuumed her house for her the other day and nearly broke my back and had blisters on my hands!!! It looks and sounds like a great vaccuum!
October 6th, 2008 at 5:17 pm
Mamasphere says:
I need a new vacuum (and certainly wouldn’t turn down the awesomeness that is Oreck!) because I just killed my new one. Yep, first time out of the box and I sucked up a blanket and killed it.
October 6th, 2008 at 5:18 pm

Pick me! Pick me! I have TWO dogs and ONE messy husband. Such a CUTE vacuum and GREAT cause!

I would lurve a new Oreck. I have a vacuum from another well known vacuum company, but it has not fared so well with two moves and a home remodel.
October 6th, 2008 at 5:22 pm
Katie (Perfectly Cloudy) says:
I could definitely use this with my beige (now spotted) carpet!
October 6th, 2008 at 5:23 pm
Debbie says:
Since my dog seems to think that vacuum cleaners are evil and must be destroyed by frequent watering whenever he sees it – I definitely could use a new vacuum. We’ve had this one for almost a year now and the dog hasn’t gotten to it yet – so there’s hope for us. Thanks.
October 6th, 2008 at 5:23 pm
Christi says:
Well, the simple fact that the advertisement says “faster cleaning” sold me. And the fact that my Meme always loved her Oreck, and she was the smartest woman alive. Thanks for the giveaway!
October 6th, 2008 at 5:27 pm
Mary Katherine says:
I think I should win that Oreck b/c it would way more fun to vacuum with a pink cleaner! I am sure of it!
October 6th, 2008 at 5:30 pm
Renae Terrell says:
Oreck, you’re the best! I neeeeed this Oreck because my silly old vacuum is broken. If I need to vacuum my carpet I have to use my broom and dustpan! Sad, but true.
October 6th, 2008 at 5:30 pm
Christina Jay says:
We have spent a fortune on vacuum sweepers over the past 15 years and have yet to find “the one”. This one has been highly recommended by friends and family. I saw the pink version on TV last week and felt some serious coveting. I would SO love to give this baby a new home. :-)
October 6th, 2008 at 5:31 pm
alyssa says:
Oh my goodness! I love it!
First, the pink. Adorable! My little two-year-old daughter and I would be ecstatic.
And second, my allergies are so horrible that I have to have sinus surgery in a couple weeks… I’ve been thinking that maybe a nice new (pink!) hypo-allergenic vacuum would help a bit!
October 6th, 2008 at 5:38 pm
Jen says:
o.k. this is the truth and I’m not trying to draw out sympathy here. However, We are in the midst of a 5+ year struggle of trying to get out of debt and go into full time ministry as missionaries. We have 2 precious little girls 2 and 4. Bottom line, my house is messy and we’ve gone through 2 1970’s thrift store vacuums and I’ve been REALLY wanting a new vacuum cleaner, but REFUSING to go into debt to get it. So, PUHLEASE random integer generator, show me some luv!

Got dirt. Three boys worth. Need this.
Thanks, Oreck! And, BooMama!

Jennifer Sandberg says:
I clicked over and was nearly brought to tears (really–it’s been that kind of day) by the power of the Oreck vacuum. Less dust! Fewer allergies! Please pick me, little number thingy!
October 6th, 2008 at 5:44 pm
Krista says:
Ooo, I like it ‘cuz it’s pink! And that fay-an-cee filter thingy. That would be handy here where we live in the world-o-dust!
October 6th, 2008 at 5:47 pm
JSR says:
‘Cause it’s pink. I could mention my three dogs and cat (I know, crazy. Why do I keep rescuing things?) but really just ’cause it’s pink.
October 6th, 2008 at 5:51 pm
Annette says:
“The built-in filtration system traps 99.9% of all dust and allergens”. We are a dust mite allergy family. This would be amazing! Thanks to all!

Coralie says:
I would LURVE an Oreck because I have asthma, and (I’m not making this up) vacuuming my house actually makes me sick. A hypoallergenic vacuum cleaner would literally be a breath of fresh air.
October 6th, 2008 at 5:52 pm
Dawn says:
I didn’t know that a vacuum could be CUTE! Everything is more enjoyable when you have something cute…and it’s stinkin’ cute. It is more than a vacuum…it’s a fashion accessory! I’m thinking that if I told my 12 yr old daughter that I picked it up at Claire’s then she’d jump at using it!
Besides the whole cute thing, I would love a vacuum that is easy to carry up and down the stairs, so my upstairs has hope of being vacuumed before Jesus returns.

Sassy and Adorable is RIGHT!!!!! I would LURVE to win more than anything!!!

My current vacuum sucks, but in all the wrong ways! I love the “green” features of this pink vacuum. Not to mention the ergonomically designed handle for what ails you…or me…but that is another story!
Thank you for hosting this!

I would love to win because stated simply, I needs a new one around here!!!!! :)

Karen says:
I would lurve to win an Oreck because
a. my Hoover is on death’s doorstep.
b. my dog sheds a LOT.
c. my dog’s hair is behind things that I’d rather not move every time I vacuum and I would so love to have that handheld thingy to get it out!
Is it ok to pray about something like this?

The combination of my shedding rugs and my 15 month old mess-maker begs for a great new vacuum!!

Oh! I would lurve to win this vacuum b/c my little $150 Dirt Devil from Target isn’t suctioning anymore – and the kids, and the dog, and the husband – they do track in lots of dirt and hair!

PINK!?!? I love it!!! And with a house full of drywall dust I sure could use it.

I could use a new one. My old vacumn just doesn’t pick up that well anymore.
Kids, dogs, and messy hubbies you know?

Suzi says:
Oh how I could use this vacuum!!!
I have been saving my pennies to buy our family a good vacuum!
I have a fully carpeted home! HORRIBLE allergies, 3 children under 4 (a husband) and a cheap vacuum that is on its way out the door!
This would be a HUGE blessing!:)
October 6th, 2008 at 6:27 pm
beth says:
the thing that makes me absolutely LURVE me the oreck is the fact that it holds “up to” four of the dust cups-full that my current stinky bagless vacuum holds.
October 6th, 2008 at 6:29 pm
Amy says:
I need that Oreck because my vaccum is on its last legs!
October 6th, 2008 at 6:31 pm
Kim Poston says:
I would be SO thankful to win this vacuum because for……..
One – I really NEED a vacuum cleaner.
Two – I don’t even own a vacuum cleaner.
Three – I have been PRAYING for a vacuum.
And this could be the answer to my prayers!

I would love to win this because I don’t have a housekeeper and a pink vaccum might make the job just a little happier not to mention the 6,500 revolutions per minute. WOW!
October 6th, 2008 at 6:33 pm
Cookie says:
CCCOOOOOOLLL prize! I would luv to win a new vaccuum cleaner that we would call a SWEEPER!!!! Thanks for the offer and the fun reading, Boomama.
October 6th, 2008 at 6:34 pm
Tina says:
I’d love to win it because my current vacuum is from my single/pre-kid days, about 10 years old, and may I nicly say i’m beginning to doubt it’s sucking abilities? Or at least it’s ability to suck up after my 2 boys.
October 6th, 2008 at 6:35 pm
Jane says:
Why? Why not? Okay, so my Dirt Devil is less than I desire. It just doesn’t get all the hair seems attracted to the carpet.
October 6th, 2008 at 6:36 pm
Christine says:
You saw my vaccuum explode all over the family room yesterday and make the kind of mess that only, really, a vaccuum can clean up! Fortunately the hubs was able to repair it in such a way as it’s once again usable, but a new one, seriously, would be hugely appreciated! Ideally, one that didn’t cost $89.99 9 years ago when we bought it with wedding money. It’s time for a real vaccuum! :)
October 6th, 2008 at 6:36 pm

Our current vacuum is impossible to push- although my husband says there is nothing wrong with it (roll eyes). I would love to win this great vacuum!

I would LURVE to win this mighty fine pink specimen!! With 3 kids, an indoor Golden Retriever, and a husband with a dirty job, my carpets and floors are ALWAYS needing to be cleaned. And the dust??! We won’t EVEN go there! So, please, random integer picker, pick me!!

I would absolutely love to win this vacuum! One, we are in need of a new one and, two, I market for breast cancer awareness as my job, so it’d be super fun to win this!! Enter me, please!

Tater and Tot says:
There are very few things in this world that would make me happier than a good vacuum cleaner. Very Few. I’m tired of buying a cheap vacuum every year – and my whining for a nice one does absolutely no good.
Plus, I have 3 kids, 2 cats, and a husband.
I love the 5 free tune-ups. I love the “dust less often” idea. And, also, too, I love that it has a BAG! I really, really don’t like bagless vacuums!
October 6th, 2008 at 6:42 pm
Laura says:
I sooooo need a new vacuum cleaner. My current one weighs about 37 pounds!!! I also have:
1 husband
5-year old son
3-year old daughter
2-year old daughter
1-year old son
Since the current vacuum is so heavy, the upstairs bedrooms seldom see a wind tunnel coming their way!
October 6th, 2008 at 6:42 pm
Tracie says:
I have a pretty good vacuum (not an Oreck) so I guess if I won it I’d give it away. Or maybe I’d keep it for myself. I’m tired of mine anyways.
October 6th, 2008 at 6:43 pm
Kristin says:
I’d LURVE to win this Oreck because I have 5 kids and we go through ONE VACUUM EVERY YEAR. That’s ridiculous! I need myself a good vacuum!
October 6th, 2008 at 6:44 pm
Mandi says:
First of all, to be able to say that I won a vacuum from a blog? Now that’s just cool ;-)
Second, I’ve got 2 kids, a husband, and a dog that sheds. And my current vacuum sucks. Er, well, it DOESN’T suck. And that’s why it sucks ;-) My parents have an Oreck and I always get vacuum envy when I use theirs! It’s so lightweight and works SO well!

I love this vacuum for three reasons – 1. It’s PINK! 2. It’s vacuuming at its easiest because it is so LIGHT! 3. It’s light enough that my children can become vacuum masters.

October 6th, 2008 at 6:54 pm

How fun! Who would have thought a vacuum could bring so much joy and excitement. We live in West Texas and seasonal allergies abound. My favorite part is, “Dust less often (I’m all about that)
The built-in filtration system traps 99.9% of all dust and allergens down to 0.3 microns.” Gotta lurve that!
October 6th, 2008 at 6:55 pm

I would love this because I have dust allergies and I HATE to dust. Anything that would allow me to dust less has my vote and a place in my house.

Girl…I bought a “got what you paid for” vaccume over the summer. Now- I am sure loving that! We need to buy a new one, but thanks to our new, higher, “fun loving” mortage payment.. we won’t be buying anything fun. (Yes- I consider a new vaccume fun…sad, very sad.) :)

I love that the Oreck will go under my beds and tables easily and that it is lightweight. My Mom has one and loves it! I, however, am using my Grandmother’s old vacuum. It’s on its last leg…or wheel? :)

I would LOVE this vacuum. First because it’s pink. How much fun is that? Second because it’s lightweight. IF I should happen to be the winner…OH PLEASE GOD!…I would give it to my mother, who never buys anything new for herself and is in desperate need of an Oreck.
Did I mention it’s PINK?!!!!
October 6th, 2008 at 7:24 pm
Amy H says:
You’re hysterical! I love your honesty. And the Oreck is oh so cute.
Why’d I’d love it? Well, because my life is pathetic now…now that I’m 34…and I get excited about new appliances.
Honestly, I’d love a new vacuum, cuz my 11 year old Oreck is putting up a fight about cleaning up after the triplets!
October 6th, 2008 at 7:27 pm
Julie says:
So funny you are giving this away, today! My iRobot decided it needed a new battery today. And, the belt on my Dirt Devil just broke. So, I really, really, really need a new vacuum cleaner. Pretty Please, with a cherry on top!

Melissa says:
Wow! tons of comments! I would love to have an Oreck because we have a 5 month old baby, and she’s about to find out what kind of housekeeper her mama is (not). I think a lightweight, quiet vacuum cleaner might inspire me to use it more frequently.
October 6th, 2008 at 7:32 pm

Our current vacuum cleaner weighs 1,000,000 lbs. which means only my husband can use it. Consequently, our home gets vacuumed about twice a year. Something about that doesn’t seem right.
October 6th, 2008 at 7:34 pm

I would LURVE to win it because of the hair, oh the hair, that is shed in this house between three girls!

Melodies of Mercy says:
I would love an Oreck because for far too many years I have had to haul around a heavy vac and I have had to bend down and manually adjust when I leave the carpet and hit the hard wood floors. It is just too much for one woman to with stand. Plus I would love a pink vaccuum cleaner!

dust less enough. enough said.
October 6th, 2008 at 7:52 pm
Mina says:
I would adore the Oreck because my vac is DYING from a combination of 4 kids ages 6 and under, two of which are autistic and have “crumble syndrome” (you know, where when they are done with any food whatsoever it MUST be crumbled into teeny-tiny pieces and dropped on the floor), AND a persian cat who sheds EVERYWHERE. Plus, a lightweight vaccuum would be great because I’m hauling mine out ALL THE TIME.
October 6th, 2008 at 7:53 pm
faithful chick says:
I’d love to say that some of the super clean features are what I am loving about this one, but I have to be honest…
It’s the pink cute-ness.
Oh, how I would love a pink vacuum!
October 6th, 2008 at 7:57 pm
Diane says:
I live in a house full of girls, and everything we have is pink, except for our vaccuum cleaner. Isn’t it time even our cleaning equipment got on board?

Kate says:
oh, how I NEEEED this oreck! We were trying to sell our house in TX and my potty training toddler pee-peed on the floor right before a showing (impeccable timing), I inadvertantly vacuumed over it… and all the sudden, the whole vacuum and house smelled like potty and we ended up having to throw the vacuum out! God performed a miracle and we sold the house, but… now we’re about to buy a new house, money is so tight, and I NEED A VACUUM! In addition to my potty trainer, I have a sweet baby crawler who eats tiny pieces of fuzz off the floor. I need a GOOD vac! Thanks, Boo!
October 6th, 2008 at 7:59 pm
Carol says:
I am really ready for a new vacuum!
Especially if it is really lightweight, it would be a DREAM to haul up and down the stairs!
October 6th, 2008 at 8:00 pm
Lisa says:
I would a new oreck because I hate to vacuum. Should I ever get married again…it’s on “the list”…he must love to vacuum…or at least pretend to love it because he loves me….ok so if that isn’t good enough I don’t know what is. :)
October 6th, 2008 at 8:02 pm
Mrs. H says:
Well… besides the pink color and the great cause, I like Oreck’s ease at moving around the room (my mom has one and it’s much lighter than our vac.). I like that it’s still a bag in a “bagless” world. Those cups are ridiculous to empty – bags are so much better!
October 6th, 2008 at 8:02 pm
Bevan says:
I have an Oreck and I love it…I would give one to my oldest, married daughter…she needs a nice, new vacuum! (The one she has now is from college…about 4 years old and not good)!!

OOOHHHH!! Pick me! Pick me! I am about to move back to the great state of Georgia (Columbus) and my vac is on it’s last leg (or wheel) so I would LOVE to start over with a new vac and an Oreck no less!
October 6th, 2008 at 8:02 pm
April says:
I’d love to win b/c then I wouldn’t have an excuse to not clean!

1. Sanitary
2. Dust less often
3. Light weight
I’d love to have an Oreck vacuum!
October 6th, 2008 at 8:04 pm
Tricia says:
I totally need this vacuum because I have 4 children and two of them are teen boys.
Vacuums die a quick and painful death in my home. I’ve had many over the years. I NEED a vacuum with some staying power!
October 6th, 2008 at 8:05 pm
Chris says:
OH, how I would LOVE a light, pink, adorable vacuum…it might even make vacuuming fun! After cleaning for over 42 years, I would think it’s about time to have an ORECK!!
October 6th, 2008 at 8:05 pm
Amanda says:
I would love to have an Oreck. They are so nice and lightweight, plus it is PINK! I’m certain that I would be a more diligent vacuumer if my vacuum cleaner was PINK!
October 6th, 2008 at 8:06 pm
Erin says:
I’d LURVE to win an Oreck because my vacume sucks. Or doesn’t suck, I should say. ;)
October 6th, 2008 at 8:07 pm
Melissa says:
I would love to win the sweeper because my favorite dog in the entire world is a wonderful, but very very shedding hairy golden retriever, and we currently can not even vacuum our living room one time without emptying the canister 3 times!!!! It is making me crazy. Please save my sanity and let me have a new sweeper! Love me some BooMama whether I win or not!
October 6th, 2008 at 8:10 pm
Lucy says:
Oh I would love to win this. I need a new vaccuum so badly and I’ve heard such good things about Oreck! And it’s pink. It just does not get better.
October 6th, 2008 at 8:10 pm
Jodie says:
Well, in short, my current “commercial” vacuum SUCKS, therefore I never vacuum. Gross huh? I need a new one. And a pink one would make me ever-so-happy. I mean, THINK OF THE CHILDREN! We have 3 of them bad boys and I never vacuum. Clearly I need this more than anyone. (Thankfully most of the house is not carpet or there might be real cause for real concern.)
I’m so glad Oreck likes you enough to do this for you (us). Clearly, it’s all “who you know”. :) [PICK ME]

i like how little it weighs. thanks for having another contest!
October 6th, 2008 at 8:15 pm
lavonda says:
Because IT LAYS COMPLETELY FLAT people.
You don’t have to move as much furniture when you’re vacuuming because it will SLIDE RIGHT UNDER the chairs at the table.
Can anyone say amen to not having to move as much furniture around???
OH. MY. GOODNESS.
And it’s so light, you can carry it UP THE STAIRS and then BACK DOWN THE STAIRS to do both levels because your builder didn’t put a closet on each level to put vacuum cleaners in and you can’t afford to have one for each floor anyway.
(whew!)
I reeeeeaaaaaaaalllllllllllllllly want this BooMama.
and if I win it, I’ll name my next child BooMama.
Boy or Girl.
October 6th, 2008 at 8:17 pm
April says:
I would like the Oreck because I have a very shedding dog. We have dog hair everywhere and I have tried everything! Also I love Boomama!!
October 6th, 2008 at 8:19 pm
Cindy says:
Thank you for the opportunity to win the Oreck. I like that it’s lightweight and adjusts from carpet to barefloors without having to stop and adjust it.
October 6th, 2008 at 8:19 pm
Paige says:
Did you know that the Oreck uses only 1/3 the electricity of other vacuums? That’s pretty dang cool. And it’s pink! How cute would I look in a cute apron using my pink vacuum from BooMama? Very cute, that’s how cute.
October 6th, 2008 at 8:20 pm

i’d love it because i know it’s better than what i got!

I need this sassy vacuum because not only do I have a hubby and 3 littles one age 6 and under… but I have arthritis and my (not-so-sassy dark green) Dirt Devil is way too heavy.
Muchas gracias!

I would so love to have an Oreck. There are 7 in our family plus all the dirt that they can bring INTO the house. My kids can dish it out, i need a vacuum that can handle it!

Katrina (Callapidder Days) says:
Oh what an awesome giveaway! I would love to win an Oreck so I would only have to lug a light-as-a-feather vacuum up and down the stairs in order to suck up all the cat hair around here, rather than a big heavy thing. And I promise that I visited the Oreck site. :)
October 6th, 2008 at 8:41 pm
nichole says:
I would love to win an Oreck because my grandmother had one and I know its quality. I also love that it is a pink ribbon appliance. Breast Cancer awareness is a cause that is near and dear to my heart. I have an aunt and a grandmother who are both survivors. I am a supporter of Komen for the Cure and buy pink whenever I can. Winning pink is good too :)
I also have 2 gorgeous kitties (check my blog for pictures) and my little $50 vacuum I have just doesn’t cut it with the cat hair.
October 6th, 2008 at 8:41 pm
Megan says:
Yeay oreck!! I would love to win this vacuum because our current one smells like its cooking dog poop when you turn it on and, well, you can imagine how infrequently it gets used around here.
October 6th, 2008 at 8:43 pm
Kris says:
I heart this Oreck vacuum! It’s pretty and petite! I would especially love to have this because I have 2 teenage girls who hate to vacuum. I think the pink on this one might just win them over!
October 6th, 2008 at 8:44 pm
Jamie @ Purposeful Pursuit says:
I would love to win this because the website says “Dust less often” and I’m telling you that is one thing we have a lot of in my neck of the woods is dust. I would love to dust less!

Melissa says:

Christy says:
I have 3 kids, 2 cats and a husband (who by the way, always does the floors for me…he’s awesome). The problem is that our vacuum doesn’t work. It spits dirt out instead of sucking it up. I would love to have a new vacuum. And an Oreck? Beyond my wildest vacuum dreams. Come on, Random Integer Generator!

My Whirlpool (yes, Whirlpool) vac turned 21 this year! It still does a great job – but once my supply of bags run out… well… they haven’t made vacs for years – and I had such a tough time finding bags – last time I bought – I bought 100!
October 6th, 2008 at 8:52 pm
Beth_C says:
I already have an Oreck and I love it! I need another one because I’m lazy. This way, I could have one upstairs and one downstairs.
I told you I was lazy…but at least I do vacuum!
October 6th, 2008 at 8:52 pm
Gretchen N. says:
I would love an Oreck because vacuums come to my house to die. I have yet to find a vacuum that lasts. And the phrase from their website that caught me – “self-adjusts from carpet to bare floors.” Who wouldn’t love a vacuum that self-adjusts?

My name is Jensen. I’m 3 years old.
I hi-jacked my mommy’s blog to let you know that I would like to win the Oreck vacuum, because my mommy has hidden Big Red from me. Big Red is a hoover. Or Eureka. Or some other stinky rotten vacuum that she got on sale.
I want my own ride. And I’m a very messy kid.
Fank wu,

I’d lurve that Oreck because of a)the dog hair that piles up behind one particular chair, and b) it’s endorsed by the Arthritis Foundation for ease of use. I have a really weak grip and would love to have a lighter vacuum.

Sarah says:
I am just about to turn 30 and I don’t own a vacuum cleaner. I borrow my brother and sister-in-law’s when the hand gathering just won’t cut it. It’s disgusting. My carpets and family would thank you.
October 6th, 2008 at 9:19 pm
Dnksmommy/ Lorrie says:
I would LURVE to win that vacuum because I currently own a piece of crap that REPELS dirt. I swear, I think it makes dirt, then spits it out at me instead of sucking it up.
And what with all the scrapbooking mess I make, not to mention my dd and dh’s messes, I sure could use me one of those ADORABLE vacuums.
I sure am hoping that I am the blessed person this time!! =)

ChristyCate says:
Umm… Ooooohh! Pick me, pick me, pick me!!! (Jumping up and down clapping.) I usually just run the little sweeper. You see, I can’t really remember the last time I ran the real-live vacuum, but I really think the pink color might help.
October 6th, 2008 at 9:30 pm
Terri says:
I’d LOVE a new sweeper!! I NEED a new one because I have 2 cats, 2 dogs, 1 son, and a husband living here with me. Plus, the user of the sweeper (that would be me) keeps running over the cord, which now has attractive electrical tape every few feet to keep it together =)
October 6th, 2008 at 9:32 pm
Alana@A Kiss, A Hug, and A Squeeze says:
Would the fact that I am still using the vacuum that I received when we got married over 12 years ago be a good enough reason to win??
October 6th, 2008 at 9:36 pm
Ashlee says:
Well, the color is fab, the weight is perfectly light as a feather, and switches automatically to adjust from carpet to my laminate flooring?! A piece of vacuum heaven here on earth….

Let’s see, how little it weighs would be wonderful; I have animals and kids, ’nuff said!

My house is old (lots of dust, never ending dust), one white English bulldog with hardwood floors (translates to carpet of dog hair) plus I foster for bulldog rescue, me (it’s a wonder I’m not bald with all my hair I find in the bathroom), it lays flat to get under the sofa & the beds & the kitchen cabinets for the love of Pete!

I know, really, like what are the chances that I’ll win, but I’ve never had an oreck and that one is adorable…plus looking at the website and the comparison between typical bagless vacuum and the direct sucking oreck makes me cringe b/c…well…i have that typical bagless vacuum. So anyways, here’s tryin! *grin* Have a great day.
October 6th, 2008 at 9:56 pm

Lavender Chick says:
I would ‘lurve’ to win this Oreck Vacuum Cleaner because:
1. I have been supporting Oreck for the last 10 years – We are an Oreck family and would use nothing else, but I’m in desperate need of a new Oreck!
2. I have 4 dogs and 5 cats…. Need I say more?
3. I’m a breast cancer survivor, and that really sucks!
4. But a new Oreck that sucks, well that would be great!
October 6th, 2008 at 9:57 pm
Catherine says:
Oh hello, lovely vacuum. Even though my husband thinks I don’t use you enough, I think if my vacuum looked like you, you’d be out in the open all the time. Begging to get a spin around the floors of my house. In fact, you are so pretty, you might just become part of the decor around here. Til we meet!
October 6th, 2008 at 9:58 pm
Patty says:
BooMama – I would love to have this new vacuum because mine sucks….actually it doesn’t do that very well which is why I would love the new one. And plus because it is pretty.

GinnyLou says:
I would lurve to win an Oreck because I have a toddler (read “an insane number of crumbs”) and a big sheddy dog (who doesn’t eat all the crumbs), and I am still using my husband’s vacuum from his bachelor days (how good can a bachelor vacuum be, really?). Oh, and it’s PINK! Good luck to me!

Crumbs,hair,dust….these are my enemies…with 2 small boys that are always being messy this Oreck vacuum would be a lifesaver! Love your blog, you’re hilarious!

Thanks for the chance!

I would love to win this because my five year old is allergic to dust and
“The built-in filtration system traps 99.9% of all dust and allergens down to 0.3 microns.” We live in the San Fernando Valley in L.A., which is prob. the unofficial dust captial for an urban area. To have something that will help like this for my sons allergy and asthma would be amazing for us.

My mother had breast cancer and I’m glad Oreck is doing this for a good cause. Love the lightweight feature and the fact that it holds the dirt as it vacuums.
Thank you!

Now this is something I would love to win. Do you know how much my niece loves the color pink? I will be her favorite Aunt again! She will be graduating and moving into her own place so this would be perfect for her.

The website says: “The brush grooms the nap as it cleans, extending the life of your expensive flooring.” Here’s hoping it does the same for the not so expensive flooring which has been loved by 3 littles, 2 adults, and 1 cat!

I would love an Oreck Vacccuummm because I have a great need to be much more lazy with my vacuum time! My vacuum requires me to go over the same area like a zillion times! (That’s a lot since I have teenage boys) Thanks for the give away! Your blog makes me laugh and smile daily!

I would love to win an Oreck because my son Noah who is almost 18 months received a Heart Transplant last year and is now immune suppressed. He doesn’t walk yet and crawls all over the floor. I never can seem to get them clean enough. I think an Oreck would REALLY help.
October 6th, 2008 at 10:56 pm
Sarakastic says:
I’d love to win an Oreck because my current vacuum weighs as much as a small elephant. Sometimes I don’t’ even use it because I can’t haul it up two flights of stairs.
October 6th, 2008 at 10:59 pm
adbulldawgs says:
I need an Oreck because I need a good vacuum cleaner that does not aggravate my asthma. It would also make a less than pleasant chore a little more fun if I could do it with a little pink!
October 6th, 2008 at 11:00 pm
Dana says:
Because today is my birthday… that’s why I’d love to win! (And the fact that they are so reliable & light weigh & cute!)

Maria says:
I would “lurve” to win an Oreck vacuum because I have many allergic little kidlets and I need a great vacuum to get all the dust out of here. Plus my littlest one has to wear ear protectors when I vacuum now as the one I have is so bloomin’ loud! She even asks for the ear protectors, poor little thing. OK, but after reading some of the other commments, I realize I’m just a whiner who wants a new vacuum that’s not loud and heavy.
October 6th, 2008 at 11:38 pm
"Robin Isehart says:
I think that it would be great to have such a “fancy” vacuum. Plus it supports Susan G. Komen Foundation. Just thinking that I had breast cancer was such a scare for me and I still have twice yearly mammograms with the calcification that I have in my right breast. To this point it is not cancer nor needs to be removed; but if things change, I’m just glad there is someone out there doing research. I thank God for that!
October 6th, 2008 at 11:44 pm
kerry says:
i truly believe that if heaven came in vacuum form, this would be it! i love that it’s light…it has hypo-allergenic features (especially since i’ve got a hubby with athsma and allergies)…it’s stinkin’ pink (need i say more?)…it’s got a sidekick! (who doesn’t want one of those!?!) AND to top it off, the profits go to a GREAT cause. it’s basically the total package in one vacuum. love it.

I cannot believe you are doing this! You pulled me in with this one as I read your blog almost daily but have never posted.
I am in need of a new vacuum and have looked at Oreck in the past because it sounded like a good one to get because my husband has allergies. Also, it is light so it will be easier on my back.
Would love to have one!

Because my man bought into the sales pitch of the very powerful (and stroke-inducing-due-to-frustration-impossible-to-drag-around) canister vacuum, I’d so enjoy the feather-light (and-very-fashion-forward-pink) Oreck.
Do sign me up.

Jessica Turner says:
Oh my goodness, I would love to win this vacuum because:
a. our vacuum sucks – and not in the way a vacuum should suck.
b. we are getting new carpet soon – and having a good vacuum for the new carpet would rock.
c. I think our new baby may have allergies, and this hypoallergenic vacuum may be just the thing we need.
d. I love pink.
e. My aunt has breast cancer – this would be a cool way to support breast cancer research.
f. I love your blog.
fingers crossed and prayers lifted!!

The transition between carpets and hard floors is very enticing. Oh, and the dust. Can’t forget the dust.

Jenny says:
I “lurve” the Oreck, too! I desperately need a new vacuum, but hubby seems to think there is nothing wrong with ours. Does he ever vacuum? No. But, he swears ours is just fine. Whatever. With two boys, two dogs and one long-haired cat our vacuum has taken a beating! I would lurve to win this Oreck!
October 7th, 2008 at 6:25 am
Heather says:
Twins, two cats, two dogs, and a husband who is messier than the 6 of them combined! I NEEDS IT! :)
October 7th, 2008 at 6:30 am
Melissa says:
I want the vacuum because my current one is pitiful. Please pick me!!!
October 7th, 2008 at 6:38 am
Billie says:
Because my current “great value” that I have had for years is on it’s last leg. And if something doesn’t change soon, I may to have to train my dogs or my kids to get the stuff out of the carpet. and I’m sure that goes against all sorts of rules.
October 7th, 2008 at 6:40 am
Emily C says:
Oh where to begin–the ball feature that lets you move it around so well, the light-weightness, the color!, the sucking power, the long cord, the great attachments…it’s all good to me!
October 7th, 2008 at 6:44 am
Emily Jean says:
I’d love an Oreck because we have a baby on the way; if I can’t have clean hardwood, I’d at least like to know that all the dirt is sucked out of the carpeting.
October 7th, 2008 at 6:48 am
kelly says:
Oh what a cute little machine!
I should win, because I vac. the house a lot, and every time I vac…I would be reminded to check my breasts for lumps.

Susan B. says:
Tune ups?!!! I believe this is the first time I have seen that word associate with a vacuum cleaner! YIKES! I would L O V E one. My current vacuum is sooooo heavy. I have to get a new one because my back can’t take it any more. I have heard nothing but good things about Oreck.
October 7th, 2008 at 6:56 am
Natalie says:
Oh I would LURVE to win this vacuum for a number of reasons. 1. My vacuum now doesn’t do real great about picking up dirt. 2. My Mother-in-law had breast cancer. I have a pink kitchen and she got me a pink kitchenaid mixer to match. So this would be another appliance that I would have that would be supporting the cure!!
October 7th, 2008 at 7:08 am
Jill says:
Best line of the ad: Dust Less! Can I get a Amen for that!! Can’t tell you how much I would love this Oreck.

Ellen says:
I would absolutely love this vacuum! Our current vacuum (#4 or 5 in 7 years) is killing our rugs AND not picking up anything. With a little guy who puts EVERYTHING in his mouth, it is not a good combination! Thanks!
October 7th, 2008 at 7:11 am
Lora says:
Oh, I would lurve this *pink* Oreck to help eliminate some of the allergens in my home that cause me to support the Kleenex companies way to much!

1,500 square feet of bare floors, 4 cats, 1 dog, 1 toddler. Cleaning is an issue for which I currently don’t have good equipment. IE – never buy a Eureka boss as it is a cruel engineering joke.

Megan Murphy says:
I would LOVE to win the pink Oreck because I am in DESPERATE NEED for a new vacuum cleaner! We are still using my husbands old vacuum that he had in COLLEGE! THANKS!

Julie K says:
I would love to have this vacuum cleaner b/c when I used one like it to clean up the OSU BSU (GO POKES!), it was so light and easy to use – and it did a great job!
October 7th, 2008 at 7:23 am
Suzanna says:
I would just love to win an Oreck!!! I know it would help me keep up with the dust and dirt from two small boys, a dog, and a husband who is constantly fixing up our fixer-upper house! :) Pleeeeaaaassee pick me!!!!!!!!!!!

With what I just paid for new carpet, I need something that will extend it’s life!! Thanks for the chance!

Mrs says:
Our current vacuum is dead. My husband killed it. I had purchased it for a dollar at the garage sale next door. They have dogs, and every time I used the vacuum it would stink up our house no matter what I did to try and clean it out!
Our other upstairs vacuum isn’t working, either. The belts keep slipping and there’s this lovely burning rubber smell whenever we use it. I need a new vacuum and am trying to save money for a good one. Our church uses Orecks and I fell in love with them, but e-gads! Who has that kind of dough!? 3 kids, 2 dogs . . . you can see where the money goes! LOL
October 7th, 2008 at 7:28 am
Lynne says:
I would LOVE to win this pretty pink Oreck because maybe, just maybe, I could then be persuaded to throw away my 4 other vacuums, all of which are in some state of disrepair and only work within their own specialty (this one is for hard floors, this one works fairly well on carpet, this one has good attachments, this one is light enough for the stairs, etc).
October 7th, 2008 at 7:29 am
Sara says:
one word: lightweight. It is a compound word, but still technically one word. I hate vacuuming the stairs. This would help me immensely.
October 7th, 2008 at 7:30 am
Laura says:
I like the fact that it’s light weight and has a soft top and sides. I have five kids who help the the vacuuming and believe me, they run into the furniture on a regular basis!

I would lurve an Oreck because I have a husband in the infantry that thinks dirty is okay, a Cheeto eating two year old and two HUGE dogs. My life’s a mess and Oreck needs to clean it up!

I would love to have an Oreck because my son has allergies and it would be nice to clean up the dog hair/pet dander in virtually one pass!
October 7th, 2008 at 7:41 am
Erica says:
My mom likes to tell the story of the time that she asked my grandma why she smiled when she was vacuuming. My grandma replied that she was thanking God that she had a house to vacuum and a family to vacuum for.
I would love to win because I think that cute little pink vacuum would make it a lot easier to smile in gratitude while doing chores. :)
October 7th, 2008 at 7:42 am
Lois says:
I would love to win this Oreck vacuum for my daughter and new son-in-law! She’s asthmatic,so the hypo-allergenic feature is important, and the fact that it’s light-weight makes it even better.
October 7th, 2008 at 7:42 am
Lynn says:
I would love to have an Oreck vacuum cleaner, especially one so CUTE! Love their lifetime warranty.
October 7th, 2008 at 7:43 am
ellebell says:
Okay. Features schmeatures. Hypo-alergenic..blah, blah, blah.
My favorite part of it? Why, it’s PINK of course!!!! It’s possible that it just MIGHT inspire me to actually vacuum. I’m not willing to commit 100% to that right now though…
October 7th, 2008 at 7:45 am
Edee says:
Nothing cleans the floors like an Oreck! And I love the pink!

It’s engineered to potentially help you dust less….holymoly! ;)
October 7th, 2008 at 7:46 am
Breanna says:
Besides the fact that it is pink (and who could want anything else in a vacuum) I love the fact that it is also light. Maybe my 5 yr old will be strong enough to push this one. He always wants to vacuum, but he isn’t quite big enough yet!
October 7th, 2008 at 7:47 am
Robin M. says:
“Dust less often”… now doesn’t that sound good? Not that I dust that often anyway… but…

Lindsay says:
I’d love to win this because we got a cat about six months ago and right about now, I’m drowning … DROWNING I TELL YOU … in cat hair. My vacuum is doing a crappy job at picking it up so I’m sure this Oreck is meant for me.
I love you Oreck. Please come home.

Vee says:
HYPO-ALLERGENIC!!!!! Wow! I have always wanted an Oreck!
October 7th, 2008 at 7:54 am
Kristie Wooten says:
I would love an Oreck because:
1. My house is too dirty–and an Oreck will help me clean it thoroughly, at least according to my mother.
2. My life is too busy–and I need a good lightweight solution to my floor cleaning woes.
3. My power bill is too high–and an Oreck uses 1/3 of the electricity of most uprights.

wow! what a giveaway!
we could really use a new vacuum. we bought our cheapy four years ago when we were newly married and money was tight. within a year, the on/off switch stopped working, so if it’s plugged in, it’s running.
our 1-year-old cries every time i use it — i’m sure he’s lamenting our ghetto vacuum with me!

why I’d like to win an Oreck? because it’s awesome!
I’d love not to almost die trying to awkwardly vacuum my stairs. And I have two dogs. And also, it’s pink.
October 7th, 2008 at 8:04 am
Tara says:
I’d love to win because we’re moving into a house (hopefully!) that has much more carpet than I have ever had. I know my old clunker won’t handle it nearly as well as an Oreck! Thank you thank you!

Oh, please let me win this! We are military and move A LOT (all 6 of us!), and our new house has CARPETED STAIRS. OH. THE. HORROR. They will be the death of me, I fear. This vacuum would totally be great to restore some sort of cleanliness to our newest nest! Thanks soo much!!! :)

Here’s why I’d love to win the vac.
1. Long haired cat. ‘Nuf said.
2. Breast Cancer research. When you have a 33 year old friend who was diagnosed your outlook on research changes completely.
Thank you BooMama! Wow! What a great giveaway.
October 7th, 2008 at 8:16 am
Terri Richmond says:
Me! Me! Me! I want a luxurious pink vacuum to clean my house. The lightweight size is perfect for my tired body. The filter and bag are perfect at keeping the hazards of dust and cleaning down to a minimum so my sweet four children will not get sick so much. We were in the pediatrician’s office 3 times last week. Please, Oreck save my family from the high cost of medical care. Please, give a tired mama a new lease on life. Yea for Oreck!!!!
October 7th, 2008 at 8:18 am

I would like to win the Oreck because I know it would last forever and do a great job. My mom has one and she loves it. It would also be great to support the cause.

Ginger says:
I would LOVE to win this because I have three animals in a small condo and I run a nonprofit in Uganda so I try not to spend a lot of unnecessary money at home but my vacuum is almost 10 years old and I’d LOVE a new one!!!

Well BooMama, I just love Orecks. I have an old one and it has been through a lot with me, and it is finally ready to give up the ghost. I am in denial about it, as is my husband when he sees the price tag on the new ones. I’m just not ready to succumb to the Dyson!
October 7th, 2008 at 8:30 am
Mrs. Troop says:
Adjusts easily from carpets to floors? Really? Wow!
Maybe, if I had a nice, light and powerful vacuum, my floors wouldn’t be so dirty (as they are right now!). Because eight children make some serious mess!
But I think I’ll keep the kids, either way. :-)

I would absolutely love an Oreck because my roommate and I moved three months ago and our third roommate moved in with her boyfriend and took the vacuum cleaner. We haven’t vacuumed in three months and we have a dog and a cat. The hair is out of control. We are but poor college students and a free Oreck (or any free vacuum if anyone out there wants to buy us one) would save our lives.

Kayren says:
Well, I’d love to win an Oreck because I don’t have a vacuum cleaner right now and I’ve always wanted one. We had to get rid of our old vacuum when we moved from VA to MI a couple of months ago (not enough room at the end and I started having to pick and choose what would fit in the U-Hauls and vehicles). I despised my old vacuum cleaner and since Hubby had ordered me to pick and choose what would fit, I saw it as the perfect opportunity to get a new vacuum cleaner. If I don’t win this beautiful Oreck, I will have to buy a vacuum cleaner anyway sometime this month after we get our new house, because four kids and a cat don’t exactly make for a sparkling clean home.
October 7th, 2008 at 8:43 am
Carrie says:
My poor vaccum is falling apart. A pink one would really make my day!
October 7th, 2008 at 8:43 am
Penny says:
First of all, my current vacuum cleaner is being held together by duck tape. (Just call my hubby Macgyver!)
Secondly, it’s pink!!! How cute is that! My three daughters would think that was very cool! Plus, living in the south aggravates their little allergies, so less dust around here would be very helpful!!!
October 7th, 2008 at 8:43 am
Renee@RightFootForward says:
Oh sweet mercy, you mean I have a chance of winning a vacuum that actually works??? That would be oh so loverly. Maybe I’ll be able to quit taking the dog and cat out and beating them with a stick until all their loose hair falls off. ;)
Plus, pink is my fav-o-rite color…or was it Stephen Tyler’s…

Brooke says:
Wow how awesome it would be to have a new vac! I wouldn’t have to break my back with the heavy one that I have and I know it would cut down on dusting and allergies and DOG hairs all over my house! My mother-in-law has one and swears by hers!Ohhhh how nice it would be and it would certainly help the budget to get it for FREE! :)
October 7th, 2008 at 8:49 am
Casey A. says:
I want to see how much more dirt the Oreck will pick up compared to my current li’l vacuum. And with a babe on the way, it will keep out carpet super duper clean!

How great it would be to have a decent vacuum cleaner! My old hoover is not the best in the world.

Sarah W. says:
I love how lightweight the Oreck is. Having two flights of stairs (upstairs and a basement) makes me realize how heavy vacuums are! This would be awesome. And, with two children 2 and under, I love that it picks up way more than traditional vacuums. That would really be helpful!
my email is sarahw56 @ gmail (dot) com
Thank you so much!

Pat says:
I have had a bagless for years and it’s just messy and awful. I love the Oreck;s saniseal—-no huge dust clouds when I go to empty the canister. The pink is also so cute! Also, Oreck give $$ to breast cancer research. Very cool!
October 7th, 2008 at 9:06 am
Christina says:
Oh my…I would lurve to win that BE-U-TEE-FUL Oreck because it would put my homely little Bissell to SHAME! Surely the suction on that thing can do better than my pitiful Bissell that can’t pick up a Cheerio to save its little life…
October 7th, 2008 at 9:08 am
Queen of My Domain says:
I’d love to win this Oreck because my vacuum is about to die on me and I’d much rather win one than go and buy one. And with four kids and a dog…I’m constantly vacuuming.
October 7th, 2008 at 9:12 am
Greta says:
Here is exactly why I need to win.
I despise vacuuming and I need every little bit of motivation to do it – especially with a 1-year old running around the house eating every little crumb and piece of fuzz he can find!
October 7th, 2008 at 9:15 am

Emily says:
When we found out about my son’s allergies, we searched for a really good vacuum to help keep the dust mites under control. Oreck was on my wishlist, but didn’t make the budget cut. I would love to have such a great vacuum.
October 7th, 2008 at 9:19 am
Adrienne says:
Sadly, and I’m not ashamed to admit it, winning an Orek vaccuum cleaner would be EVERY BIT as exciting for me as going to Disney World would be for my 6 and 3-year olds! I lurve a clean house ya’ll and did I mention that pink is my favorite color? So FAYN-CEE!
October 7th, 2008 at 9:24 am
Elizabeth says:
My husband’s allergies keep getting worse, but the real reason I’d love to win this is my 2 year old is TERRIFIED of the vacuum cleaner we currently have! Because who wouldn’t want to “dust less often”? :)
October 7th, 2008 at 9:28 am
Amy says:
I would LURVE to win an ORECK because my furniture would LURVE you because of the “furniture friendly” feature! No more banging into it!
October 7th, 2008 at 9:32 am

Our current vac is WAY too heavy for my girls to use. I’d like to win the Oreck so my girls could vacuum their own rooms!
October 7th, 2008 at 9:33 am
Kristin says:
Oh how I would love to win this! My vaccuum is on it’s very last leg- I am putting off the inevitable of needing a new one. The pure joy of winning one this great would make me squeal!
October 7th, 2008 at 9:39 am
Candace says:
I would love to win an ORECK because my current vac is about 10 years old and is getting pretty sad looking and worn out! I have four kids – three of them boys! Its a miracle my vac is still alive!
October 7th, 2008 at 9:40 am
Jeanie Herkomer says:
Oh, BooMama, how I would love to have this! I currently have a vacuum very highly recommended by Consumer Reports; however, it is way too heavy for me to push around due to a bad back. With four dogs, I could really use this darlin’ Oreck. Thanks for the opportunity, and I love your blog.
October 7th, 2008 at 9:42 am
Jennifer says:
SELF adjusts between carpets & hardwood floors. I’m currently using THREE different make my back ache “tools” to get the job done now!

Kimberly says:
This is exciting!
October 7th, 2008 at 9:51 am
Meagan says:
Hypo-allergenic, lightweight, and self-adjusting are the first words that caught my eye. My current vacuum seems to create more dust allergins, weighs at least as much as a small elephant and requires me to go over the same area a million times to pick up that pesky piece of string. Clearly life’s most difficult problems could be solved with this Oreck.
October 7th, 2008 at 9:53 am
Beverly says:
Because even though I hate to clean, I actually like to vacuum and it would be so cool to vacuum with such a great one!
October 7th, 2008 at 9:58 am
Melynda says:
Lightweight, self-adjusts between wood floor and carpet, lots of suction, lots of attachments! There are too many reasons to count.
October 7th, 2008 at 9:59 am
Kim says:
I love that a handheld comes witih the vaccum. Also, anything that helps these dratted dust allegies… hypoallergenic filters… well, that’s all to the good. PLUS< another vaccum so my old cracked (quite literally) back won’t have to haul the BIG vacuum up and down? Well, that’s icing on the cake!
Thanks for the contest.
October 7th, 2008 at 9:59 am
Erica says:
A vacuum that actually works AND is sassy to boot…what could be better?
October 7th, 2008 at 10:01 am
Amanda says:
I would love, love, love to win one of these. I have been looking at the Oreck and the Dyson. Unfortunately I would have to get a home equity loan to buy one! With a Chocolate Lab around, my current vaccuum has about had it!
Thanks for the give away!
October 7th, 2008 at 10:01 am
Michelle Vance says:
I would love love this vacuum, because between a dog, two boys and husband that is always into something I am always NEEDING to vacuuming. But being in school full time, den leader and running boys around to baseball doesn’t leave me much time. So if I’m going to vacuum I want it to be done right!!
October 7th, 2008 at 10:01 am
Dawn Rene says:
It is completely marvelous. And I would love to own it! Here’s hoping the random integer picker finds me!

My mother has had an Oreck for years and I love it. It is very light weight and maneuverable!
October 7th, 2008 at 10:03 am
Lauren A says:
I would LOVE to win this Oreck because my current vacuum sucks nothing but air. At least I’m pretty certain of that. I can walk through the house with socks on and pick up more dog hair than my vaccum does.
Did I mention our house has been dog free for over a year??
I need a new vaccum.

I would love it because I live with Miss Spiller America and since she spills an incredible amount of cereal on my floors, she could learn to use it! Mini Miss Spiller would be adorable working with the Oreck.
I checked their site and didn’t realize they started in 1969! I luv appliances that are older than me.
Thanks!!

On the web site they say you will ‘dust less often’. Oh my, sign me up!

I’d love this beautiful, Sassy vacuum cleaner because…..I’m old and light weight sounds gooood to me! :)

Kristi Lynn says:
I have very severe allergies. I am so allergic to dust that if I am around too much dust I can have a very serious asthma attack. The same with tree, grass and flower pollen. Actually, I am so allergic to so many things, doctors urge me to wear a mask when I am outside, and to keep my house COMPLETELY dust-free. The Oreck does this:
The built-in filtration system traps 99.9% of all dust and allergens down to 0.3 microns. The dust on the floor doesn’t blow back into the air and end up in my lungs!
This vacuum could literally SAVE MY LIFE! And that’s great, because it can also save the lives of Breast Cancer Victims! What a powerful machine!

I would love to have an Oreck! I really need a new vacuum plus I would love, love to have one for my upstairs so I don’t have to carry one back and forth forth!
Yeah, they should give you one too. Hope you had a good birthday!

Hello,
Please include me. I am currently using a 30 year old Kirby. (However, it’s quiet and runs well) I would love something newer that doesn’t weigh 40 pounds.
Take Care,

I have heard such great things about Oreck vacuums and would love the chance to win one. We are going to be finishing our basement off before the beginning of January (we have a new baby on the way) and I would love another vacuum so that I don’t have to carry our current vacuum up and down three flights of stairs to get all of the vacuuming done. It would be wonderful to use the new vacuum in the main part of our house and use the older vacuum downsstairs.

I would like to win this Oreck because I have back problems and need something lightweight. I enjoy reading your blog everyday, and love how lighthearted you seem to be. Thank you for your inspiration as a Christian, a mom, and a gal from the South.

I would love to win an Oreck because I have a little baby girl who is crawling all over our fully carpeted home!

Kelly says:
I would love this Oreck. My cousin practically worships the one she has. With three children and a husband, I’m in need of something to keep the floors clean.
Not to mention how very chic it is.

One swipe picking up dirt. Enough said!!

I think a pink Oreck would motivate me to vacuum more especially with the baby on my hip.

Maybe a pink vacuum will make cleaning more fun….Probably not but at least I will look cuter doing it :)
October 7th, 2008 at 10:44 am

I’ve never owned an Oreck. It looks great. Who knew that dirt didn’t go directly into the bag on other machines but around and around some tubing.

I would lurve to win the Oreck for my church. I am on the cleaning team at my church and obviously vaccuuming with a brand new (fashionable) Oreck would make it so much nicer!!!!

AnnaBanana says:
Ooooo…. a vacuum that gets yearly check ups!!! That’s very cool!!!

Lori C says:
Is it too much information to admit I would pee my pants if I won this? I really really need a new vaccum cleaner. Mine barely works and with 2 kids (plus one on the way), a husband and a dog, I NEED a working vaccum.
I am crossing my fingers!!!

Michelle says:
Oh I had an Oreck and that thing took a beating and kept on sucking up the dirt. We had a Great Pyrenees at the time and the massive amounts of white hair? No match for the Oreck. We just plumb wore ours out and I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to have a new one — nothing matches them for cleaning and they are so lightweight! That is my favorite thing about them.
October 7th, 2008 at 11:03 am

So… 5 cats, 2 kids, 1 husband, white carpeting. Reason enough? ;-)

I’d love to win because I want to give it to my Mother-in-awe. They are desperately in need of a light vacuum cleaner that will do the job right the first time through! (No time out here. I was a good girl!)
October 7th, 2008 at 11:08 am
Toby says:
I like that it can be used on both carpet and wood floors because we had a lot of both!

NancysLostandFound says:
I don’t really need a new vacuum plus I’ve never, ever won anything on any blog giveaway, but it’s always fun to look and play. I’m curious about the 5 annual tune-ups the Oreck comes with. I’m supposed to be tuning up my vacuum??!! I can hardly keep up with my car’s tune-up schedule. Sigh.
October 7th, 2008 at 11:16 am
Angela says:
I’d like to win this because:
I have gone through about 4 vacuum cleaners in the past 6 years – a couple were about $200 each!!
I need something that will work great on hardwood/tile and carpet.
This pink is so pretty!!
Thanks!
October 7th, 2008 at 11:17 am
Southern Gal says:
It doesn’t matter that it’s pink since I’m the only one who touches a vacuum cleaner around here.
I like the fact that it goes from carpet to bare floors since we are in the process of removing carpet from our home. (A slow process…talking years here!)

Sunni says:
We had this vacuum at our old church and I loved, loved, loved it. Anything that makes vacuuming under pews simple is a good thing. Not to mention how light it is. Since this one is pink….well, all is well in the world. Can you imagine having a pink vacuum? I might even use it! HA. Actually, I thought if I win it, I would donate it to my church since we need a nice fancy new vacuum.

Teri from Indiana says:
Why I would love to win? Because! Seriously, anything that will make housework easier & cut down on my dusting would be a blessing. And the fact that you’re drawing the winner on the 13th & we’re finalizing our son’s adoption that morning would be a perfect way to end the day. A new forever child & something to clean up after him with!

Would Love to win th Oreck! Because I love the pink and would love for a vacuum to work! I am tired of purchasing various brands. Because I still have millions of cheerios to vacuum up! ;)

Oh goodness, how I would LOVE, LOVE, LOVE to win the Oreck! Our vacuum is on it’s last leg and Dave Ramsey would NOT call this a necessity! But anyone with four kids, a dog and a husband knows IT IS!!!

Jamie says:
I would love to win this thing. We really, really need a new one. Plus living in a house full of boys (and a new baby girl), I just think my hubby would love perfect cleaning the floors with this new shiny thing. Thanks for the opportunity.

I’d love an Oreck because it is way past time for a new vacuum. Also, we have 1 carpeted room and the rest are hardwood floors, so this Oreck would easily meet our needs. Finally, I have 2 dear friends who are breast cancer survivors…the donation from Oreck rocks!

We have lived overseas for the past two years and have just returned two months ago. We are in the process of buying all the things we gave away or sold before we left, and I would love to not have to buy a vacuum cleaner.

Beth says:
Think I’m in LURVE with that gorgeous vacuum! We’re part of a family business that does fire & water restoration, carpet cleaning, etc. and my hubby says we (and by that, he mostly means ME) needs to vacuum the house EVERY SINGLE DAY. Something I never knew before we joined the family business – must say, glad I didn’t know that when our twins were little, I might have gone over the edge trying to vacuum every day. I miss a day every now and then, but might remember better if this snazzy thing was waiting for me in the closet!
October 7th, 2008 at 12:52 pm
sue says:
I would LOVE a new vacuum as this Georgia pollen is going to be the death of me yet! See I am a Yankee gone South and we are not used to all this warm weather, don’t get a lot of pollen at 20 below zero! Love the weather and people hate the pollen, well you get the idea, I need me a new vacuum.
My sinuses and head thank you!!

Oreck products are wonderful. I have never owned an Oreck vacuum (so not in my budget!) but I had a very good friend who had one and I loved it! I have two dogs and white carpet. It seems as though I’m vacuuming every day. I love my dogs and my carpet, but having an Oreck would be something very special that I would NEVER be able to afford for myself!
October 7th, 2008 at 1:06 pm
Sharr says:
My current vacuum weighs approximately 200 lbs, and I have 3 levels to clean. Wanna guess how often the 3rd floor gets vacuumed? Or the second floor for that matter… and the stairs??? Who really needs clean stairs? Clean stairs are highly over rated. Oh my goodness, I can just imagine the cleaning that would ensue with 5 lbs of vacuum.
October 7th, 2008 at 1:11 pm
Michelle says:
I could handle not having to dust as often…not to mention the fact that it light and therefore easier to carry up my stairs!
October 7th, 2008 at 1:20 pm
Michelle Forgey says:
Well, I love that it’s pink and the fact that it says you can dust less often. I am not sure if that means I have to vacuum more often, but why not if I am doing it with my awesome Oreck that I got from BooMama’s site.

October 7th, 2008 at 1:22 pm

I would love the Oreck for its weight. I have to ask my husband to haul ours up and down stairs for me!

Crystal Ward says:
Oh my carpets would love for me to have vacuum cleaner. They suffer much with a 3 year old boy, 4 year old girl, and 6 year old dog. Not that I dont have a current vacuum cleaner, but it is not working so hot.

I so need a new vacuum. I have two year old twins and two cats…I think that is reason enough! And it extends the life of carpet…I really need to test that out!
October 7th, 2008 at 2:17 pm
Benae says:
I would LOVE to win an Oreck! I’ve never really had a great vacuum, and with a dog who sheds hair like it is always summer time, I could use a good one. The bagless that I have is horrible because the filter clogs constantly and the cup fills up so quickly with all the fluff that it has to be emptied repeatedly.
October 7th, 2008 at 2:27 pm
Paula says:
BooMama, I would love to have a new vacuum that “picks up dirt in virtually one pass…” That would be so much better than the one I have now that picks up virtually nothing no matter how many passes it gets!
October 7th, 2008 at 2:31 pm
SophienSamsMomma says:
Why would I want this Oreck vaccuum??? It’s lightweight and it is soooo pink! But, the main reason is because my daughter took one look at it and said, “Awesome!!! Can we get it???”
A vaccuum that provides that much excitement has the potential to also ensure that Mom is not the only one doing the vaccuuming. ; )
October 7th, 2008 at 2:33 pm
Michelle says:
I have teenage boys, 2 cats and a dog and I have crazy allergies, and oh I would love to have an Orek!
October 7th, 2008 at 2:45 pm
Christina says:
I would LURVVVVVVVVVVE to win the Oreck for several reasons:
1.I have a horrrrible vacuum that we have to actually VACUUM OUT with our shop-vac before vacuuming the floor!
2.I have an 18-month-old son and a 1-month-old daughter and my son has been picking up and bringing me tiny pieces of carpet dirt/fuzz/food… in increasing amounts lately.
3.As you can tell I don’t vacuum very often, and I just know that having a functioning and nice vacuum would make this chore into a pleasure and an escape of cleaning ecstacy for me! ahhhhh…. and I would want to do it every day, and my floor would be sooo verrrry clean and all the world would be right. :)
4.It’s soooo purty!
5.I just really really really would love to have it!
October 7th, 2008 at 2:45 pm

Pick me! Pick me!…or, you know, some other deserving person…..ah hem…
Did I mention I have allergies……?
October 7th, 2008 at 2:50 pm
andira says:
I would “lurve” an Oreck b/c I am finally going to move out this year…to my own place…and I will need something fantastic to clean my new fantastic floors with! also, the fact that the Oreck is “for the cure” is such a plus. My grandmother survived 4 cancers, but her low immunity caused her to get sick with pneumonia and she just passed two weeks ago. We need a cure!!!!
October 7th, 2008 at 2:53 pm
Courtney says:
I looked on their site, and it says you have to dust less often if you use this vacuum. Bring it on!! And it is pretty cute, too :-)
October 7th, 2008 at 2:53 pm
Pat says:
Oh anything that helps the breast cancer research, I’m there. My mom and sister died of that disease. Our oreck is OLD and has been attacked more than too times by the dogs and has a hole(well kinda big hole) in the bag……so we need a new one!! I lurve oreck…..
October 7th, 2008 at 2:54 pm
Teresa Z. says:
FIrst of all, that vacuum is SUPER CUTE!! Also, my current vacuum has a hole in the attachment hose… which we use 90% of the time because we have hard wood floors and my current cheepy vacuum doesn’t pick up off the hardwood. IF this isn’t enough to show how much I need this vacuum, lets just say I have a crawling baby and a dog. Not a good combo when your vacuum doesn’t work well!! :) I could put a swiffer on the baby and maybe my house work would be cut in half!! – I’d rather win the oreck!! :)
October 7th, 2008 at 3:01 pm

I would love to win this vacuum for the filtration system to keep the dust level down. Plus it’s a kicky pink color! And I could say it came from Boomama! :)

I NEED this vacuum, oh please. It’s pink, first of all, and second, maybe then I’d stop banging up my wood furniture with the vacuum cleaner. Plus the filtration system—boo-yah.
October 7th, 2008 at 3:13 pm
marsha says:
I would love to win this and give it to my momma who is having rotator cuff surgery this month. This vacuum would be lightweight for her after her long recovery and because of the fact that she currently owns the 1,000 lb weighing Kirby.
October 7th, 2008 at 3:20 pm
Holly says:
I would love this b/c my poor vacuum spits out more dirt than it sucks up. It really makes cleaning difficult. And, you know…pink. too cute!

Pink is my favorite color!!! I have an 8 year old boy, a three year old girl, a dog, and a very messy husband!!! Oh please let me win this adorable vacuum!!!

I need a new vac so I can keep my new carpet nice! And it’s so cute!
October 7th, 2008 at 3:38 pm
Carrie Furr says:
The previous owner thought that burgundy carpet would be a great choice. The constant layer of stuff (cat hair, lint, any. little. thing.) that accumulates on it (despite frequent vacuuming) leads me to believe otherwise. A cute pink vacuum might make me hate it less :)

I HATE to vacuum, but I would LOVE to win this Oreck. Why? If you saw my house and family, you would not have to ask. My 2 year old brought half of the garden into my living room today. Also, my 8 year old has horrible indoor allergies, and would probably appreciate it, too!! Thanks!!
October 7th, 2008 at 3:52 pm
Mike says:
I would LURVE to win this vacuum cleaner because my wife is adorable, and she would look very cute (and sassy!) if she were the proud new owner/operator of this cute little cleaning machine. We have 3 children under 5 years old, and might have another one on the way. When she’s pregnant, she sometimes gets arthritis in her hands, so the “ergonomically designed handle” would hopefully be more comfortable for her on the days when I’m not around to help vacuum up the goldfish and grapes that live beneath our dining room table. She also homeschools, so this vacuum would help to ensure that no child would be left behind for lack of a clean classroom!
October 7th, 2008 at 3:57 pm

I have an Oreck! My mom is in the market for a new vacuum, so I would give it away. That should totally increase my odds, don’t you think?

I would love an Oreck, mainly because I currently have no vacuum. I am in graduate school and will be graduating in a few months. I have had several different roommates the past 3 years and each one had a vacuum for us to use. In a few months, I will be out on my own and have no vacuum so I would love an Oreck!!
October 7th, 2008 at 4:22 pm

Okay. I would SO lurv to win this Oreck. Because it is so very cute. And more powerful than the one I have. And because it promotes such a fabulous cause. Thanks for the fabulous giveaway!

WOW — LOVE this vaccum — so many reasons – -it’s PINK and it’s for a good cause, because it sucks up almost EVERYTHING and because you will announce the winner the day BEFORE my birthday and it would be a GREAT early birthday present. :)

To win a pink vacuum!!! Enough said…well and we have enough little things on the ground in our house to feed a small army!

Emily says:
I would Love to win this vacuum because my good vacuum broke and I didn’t have the money to get a good one so I bought one for $25 and it doesn’t work AT ALL. I also have 2 kids, a cat and a very dirty husband. I also love that you don’t have to do anything to go from carpet to hardwood, very handy in my house!! I would also love it because it is PINK and I don’t think I could ever get my husband to BUY me a PINK one!

Audrey says:
I would “lurve” to have an Oreck vacuum because I love my housekeeper, and I know that she would love not having to lug my heavy old dinosaur around the house! Also, it’s pink. How many women can actually say they own a PINK vacuum cleaner!

2 teenage boys + 493 various friends, youth groups, etc. that eat a lot + 1 tidy husband + 4 Corgi dogs (all in the yard thank you very much, but all that Corgi hair comes in the back door like crazy)= 1 Mama that would love and enjoy cleaning up after this crew with a cutegotoagoodcausepink Oreck!

What an awesome “pink” vacuum cleaner. I think that might even make housework a little bit fun!! Here’s hoping that I’ll be the lucky winner.

I would totally love to win this vaccuum in order to be able get UNDER my furniture! Thanks for the chance to win. Also, so glad you had a great birthday!

Karly says:
Ooh! Pink! Pretty!
I think my favorite part is the TEN YEAR warranty! Ten years! I’ve never had a (cheap Wal-Mart) vaccum last more than ONE year! Ten years would be some kind of world record!

I would love to win a pretty pink vacuum because, like a true girl, I love pink and I hate to vacuum, so maybe this would be motivational…
Plus, my old one smells like dog and cat vomit…nice.

bay says:
We have two brand new grandbabies. They will soon learn to crawl. Although I truly *live* to clean [cough], my carpets could possibly stand to be a teeny bit cleaner. Just a smidge.
And now that I am a [**COUGH**] “grandmother”, my young & sassy muscles would appreciate that Light-as-a-Feather design.

I love my Oreck, but it’s about 20 years old (we inherited it) and a little bit on it’s last leg. I need a new pink one! Thanks for the amazing giveaway.

There are MANY reasons I would like to win an Oreck, but mostly I want to dust less often.

hi, boomama
are you really reading all these comments? whew! i should come over & vacuum for you!
do you want to work a trade? i’m ready to give away my dyson. it’s only been used 2x and it is so strong that it damaged the fringe on my nice (antique) rug.
and i need a vacuum, so i’d love the oreck, which is what the nice rug repair man says he uses exclusively. it’s also good on upholstery and those hardwoods; even recommended by asthma foundation!
due to allergies we have hard surface floors everywhere, except for the hand-me-down (& treasured) rug. i think that dyson is great on carpet, but not for us. if this is considered a bribe, i don’t mean it that way. we can always take it to the mission.
thanks for having this giveaway :)
October 7th, 2008 at 5:57 pm

Oct 14th is my Bday….I need an Oreck, cause my vacuum is awful, terrible, and on its last leg! I can’t think of a better bday present!!

Robyn says:
I would love to win this because it is so cute, I think it would inspire me to use it more than my ugly old vac. Also, since it says it’s lightweight it would be easier to use, and the Breast Cancer Awareness edition is awesome. My mom is a breast cancer survivor, and I am glad that they are supporting such a good cause.
October 7th, 2008 at 6:08 pm

This vacuum looks wonderful. I need something lightweight, easy to use, and has good suction!

Here’s the low-down. I have 2 dogs. One black and one white. The white hair shows on the wood floors and the black shows on everything else. Plus, since it’s so light, my son can vacuum!

Pam says:
I would LOVE to win an Oreck because I have always heard how great they are, and I can’t afford one! Besides, my cousin is married to Mr. Oreck, and I’ve always thought it would be great if they gave me one — but since I’ve only met her probably once in my life, and I’ve never met him (although my mother has!), and they have no idea I want one — then I stand a better chance of winning this one!
October 7th, 2008 at 7:17 pm

My upstairs vacumm went caput!! I so need a new one. I love the pink Oreck! I need light weight and furniture friendly. That way my kids have no excuse not to use it! thanks for the give-away!

Nikki says:
Oh, please, please, please pick me! My Mother-In-Law has an Oreck and loves it. But, I would DIE if she gave me one! I recently inherited and iRobot which is nice b/c it gets up the big furballs from my cat and black lab, but it doesn’t seem to get down deep. We’re moving to SC from TX next summer and I’ll put that Oreck to good use getting my house spic and span to put on the market. Thanks for all your great posts – I look forward to your blog every morning before my kids get up! Blessings to you and your family!

Boomama,
I would LUVRE to win this Oreck as I am in need of a decent vacuum; one that certainly would get plenty of use with all the 2 and 4 legged members of my family.
thanks for offering such a great give away.

Kelly says:
I would love an Oreck vaccum cleaner. We have a new football field at our school that has little pieces of black rubber all over it and now my carpet has these pieces too. The bad thing is is that it is KILLING my vaccum. I now a mighty Oreck would not only clean my carpet but survive the black rubber!
October 7th, 2008 at 8:11 pm
Julie says:
That diagram showing the suction path pretty much sums up why I’d like to win it. I’m forever pulling dusty wads of lint and cat hair out of areas in the vacuum where they weren’t supposed to get stuck. And that’s just gross.
October 7th, 2008 at 8:24 pm
Stacey says:
Um…wow, you have almost 800 comments right now!
Well, I’d love me some Oreck action because with my bulky old clunker I’ve only been motivated to vacuum my stairs a handful of times since we moved into our house in February. So embarrassing.
And it’s so flippin’ cute too!

Elizabeth Holloway says:
I would love to win an Oreck vacuum cleaner because I am selfish and ungrateful for the vacuum I already have, apparently! I want to say that I need this more than anyone but then I read Jennifer Gray’s comment about shipping it to the women’s shelter. I can’t think of any reason I should have the Oreck instead of her and the shelter.

My back back needs a lightweight vacuum! For years my hubby did the vacuuming, but this summer he hurt his back, now his back needs a lightweight!

I am in my Jubliee year (50) and I imagine it would be so LIGHT and EASY to use, and I just like the way it sounds, Oreck, Oreck, Oreck. Mr. Oreck does a great commercial and all that too. Fascinating giveaway.
You never know what BooMama is going to come up with…
Plus it is PINK! I love me some pink!!

I would love an Oreck b/c my vacuum is on its last legs. Hmmm…4 kids, lots of friends, pets…a vacuum works hard around here!

Jess says:
My granny has an Oreck and I love how light they are!
Also, I did Race for the Cure on Saturday, and some guy was toting around this pink vacuum all over the place and I was totally coveting it. I would have carried it 5 km if that meant I could keep it!
And it’s pink!!!!
October 7th, 2008 at 9:12 pm
Laura says:
We have several allergy sufferers in our house and it looks like the Oreck could help. Plus it is so light our children could actually handle it! Bonus.

Gayle @ thewestiecrew says:
“Why I Would Love An ORECK” by Gayle Westover
Once upon a time, I, in a very emotional state, decided that the extremely convincing lady in a black suit was absolutely right-on in her diagnosis that my poor FILTHY floors would feel utterly *wronged* if I didn’t purchase her wares.
Those “wares”, as it were, was a (ohm’gosh this STILL HURTS) $1500 Rainbow vacuum. ~gulp~
Now, 4 years later, my floors are rarely vacuumed because the Rainbow and Gayle? They are at enmity. ENMITY, BOO!!
The thing weighs like 650 lbs (OF COURSE it does since I am sure there is gold in it somewhere for the price I paid), it operates in 2 humongous pieces, and it sloshes water around everywhere. Stinky, nasty water.
So you see, I am not kidding when I say that I would LOVE an Oreck. A small, lightweight, waterless, FREE, lovely Oreck. ~sigh~
The end.
October 7th, 2008 at 9:30 pm
Staci says:
How perfect! I have a friend who was just diagnosed with breast cancer and is in the middle of chemo and will be starting radiation next month. What a genious way to honor these brave ladies! Plus, I *really* need a new vacuum-the old Hoover just isn’t cutting it anymore.
October 7th, 2008 at 9:36 pm
Jana Foster says:
i used an Oreck while helping at a school, and have always wanted one. they are phenomenal! they worked on a carpeted cafeteria floor. it picked up everything… please, please, pick me, o great random generator thingee!

I’d love to win an Oreck! It might be the only way I can afford to ditch this gosh awful heavy vacuum I have now. Thank goodness for the man in the house .. he can pick up the heavy sucker we now have …. ummm, I’ll have to rethink this! If I win, I won’t tell the hubby … (wink wink)

I’ve always been impressed with Oreck and would love, love, love to win one! I have 2 kids under 5 and we live on a farm…so lots “stuff” ends up all over my house and I need all the help I can get!

I can’t imagine having a vacuum that weighs lwss than my cat! Lugging up and down the stairs is the part I dislike the most. This would make me (alomst) like to clean. Thank you!

October 8th, 2008 at 12:28 am
Thatchermom says:
Why? Because my 15 year old vaccuum smells like a burning cat when I turn it on (though I am sure the cat is fine since she is under the bed burrowing to China while the thing is running) and pastors don’t make enough to ever buy fancy schmancy vaccuums like that. I’d have to sell his car to buy that thing. Hmmm…

Oooooh! Pick me! Pick me! I have been through three hand-me-down vacuum cleaners and one new one (wedding gift) that has never worked properly. I’ve only dreamed of owning the “Cadillac” of vacuum cleaners. Besides, we finally got new carpet in our bonus room and really need to keep it clean this time (now that we’re dog-free and our children are past the baby spit-up stage).
October 8th, 2008 at 8:38 am
Ally (allisa) says:
I would love to win an Oreck, because my vacuum is older than I am (29), and I’ve had to become a repair person in order for it to even work… plus I have dogs and an Oreck is supposed to be AWESOME with pet hair as well as having a super de duper filtration system which is a plus for my son with asthma.
Oh and it is PINK!!! Hello I love PINK!!

Kim says:
Wow! This looks amazing! I just realized that I have never owned a new vaccuum cleaner. I have gotten hand-me-downs from my parents or my in-laws. They are usually hand-me-downs for a reason! lol! I like that it says you don’t have to dust as often….that makes me really happy!

Kaitlin L. says:
I would lurve to win an Oreck, if not for the sole feature that it will outlast any vaccum that I have ever owned (or probably all of them combined) – and, the self adjusting height feature is pretty snazzy, too!
October 8th, 2008 at 9:57 am
Angie says:
Our current vacuum is a beast, so the lightweight Oreck would be wonderful!
Not to mention that it’s a Clean for the Cure. I was diagnosed a year ago at 35 years old, and I’m so thankful for any contribution that goes toward breast cancer research.

Susie A. says:
My vacuum is dead and my checkbook is close behind. I am praying for God to intervene on my behalf, “if it’s his will”. And it is Pink no doubt, can’t beat that.

Marie says:
I love how they put the pink colors in for EVERY HOUSEWIFE!! lol. Of course I do the vacuuming here because I am the only one who lives here now. But my kids used to help and so did my husband. Good times!
My carpets are pretty light colored and as such they need to get vacuumed the Oreck way!!!!
Thanks for another fine giveaway.
Hugs,
Marie

I lurve that this fine machine is hypoallergenic light and that it has an ergonomic handle. Is it weird that I love to vacumn? I feel like my house is not clean without a vacumned floor.
thanks!

mimi says:
three reasons I need this oreck:
1. My back is killing me from hauling my old one up and down the stairs.
2. It’s pretty
3. I’m all about the cure!
October 8th, 2008 at 10:19 am
Kelli says:
I would lurve this vacuum because I do not like to finish my vacuuming and have the floor barely look like I did anything to it. It is so time for a new one and just can’t swing it right now.
Thanks!

I would love to have this vaccuum because mine sucks… er doesn’t suck… I mean mine is broke. Also, my favorite color is pink and I would always be matchy matchy when I vaccuumed. That is the most impotant thing, right?
October 8th, 2008 at 11:08 am
Katy Lin says:
ok. wow. seriously! oh. my. word. – this is amazing! first of all, it is seriously cute, and how many vacuums out there can you say that about? secondly – we need a real vacuum BAD! i’ve lived with a swivel sweeper for several months, and it’s good, but we need a real vacuum!
October 8th, 2008 at 11:25 am

I need it because I’m going through a d-i-v-o-r-c-e & didn’t get the vacuum cleaner!

Becky says:
It self adjusts from carpet to bare floor! Oh My Mercy!-Do I need that. I have to take off attachments on mine!
Plus, mine is weighs WAY more than 5 lovely little pounds.

Oreck has such great products! I think this would be the perfect vacuum for my home because I have carpet and wood floors. I also have children with asthma and I think a good vacuum would help them.

Kacey says:
Oh, I would SO love a new vacuum cleaner. Mine is evil and doesn’t even do a very good job. My carpet and tile (which both have to contend with lots of dirt and hair from my two boys, dog and cats) would be very appreciative. Thanks!

Shera - A Frog In My Soup says:
There are definitely a few reasons that I’d love this. Despite the fact that having such an incredible vacuum would be wonderful just by itself ….. I don’t have a vacuum, not at all, so I think I would “lurve” this most simply to rectify that situation :).

I need a new vacuum soooo bad. I’ve been vacuuming my house with my husband’s shop vac because my old vacuum doesn’t do a good job at all. Also, it would be a great 40th birthday present! Thanks Boo!

Amy says:
Oh, my. I would love one of these because my Dyson just doesn’t get under stuff like I need it to. If I win… anyone want a Dyson?
October 8th, 2008 at 1:17 pm
Jackie says:
Oh my I would love to win that. My mother gave my son one, and it is light weight, small and a great vacuum. Love the pink and black. It might give my back a little break from the heavy vac that I am using. Thanks for offering this. Jackie

Karate Mom says:
*sigh* I’d luuurve to have an Orek because I have a Norwegian Elkhound who sheds YEAR ROUND, plus two REALLY BIG sheds a year where we end up practically with an extra DOGS worth of HAIR!!! Plus I have a husband who should live in a bubble, his allergies are so bad…and I have a really floofy cat, so I need a good vaccum!

Laura says:
I would love to win this vacuum for my husband’s sake! :) I have two older vacuums now – one for upstairs and one for down (They are too heavy to carry up and down unless my husband does it for me…he is kind enough to do the stairs for me…)
Unfortunately, the one upstairs has a cord that is taped together and since there is no hall closet, it has to just stand against the wall. Bee-U-ti-ful.
The downstairs one doesn’t stand up on its own anymore. It just falls over. Too tired, I guess! LOL
And to think this effortlessly goes from hard floors to carpets and back – Genius!
I’d love to vacuum a one-machine-does-it-all house! :)

Lori D. says:
Hi! I would love this vacuum because my husband used my vacuum to try to clean wet carpeting. Now when I vacuum I smell mold. Lesson learned: Never let your husband do laundry or vacuum!

Kelly says:
Thanks for all the great giveaways!
I would love to win an Oreck: to clean of course! Single, just out of college, and don’t have the money to replace my currently dying vacuum….oh what it would be to have a fancy-shmancy Oreck!
Thanks!

Deedra says:
I sooo neeeeed this vacuum!!! We are on our 3rd, yes 3rd, vacuum in 4 years thanks to the twins. I need one that will hold up to what they have to suck up. I think this one will. Please, Please Please pick me!

We had an Oreck at the preschool I taught at. I love that they’re so lightweight. Thanks for the giveaway opportunity!

distybug says:
I would LURVE to win an Oreck because my current Kenmore is on its last leg (wheel?). This baby is almost 17 years old and has been in sad shape for a few years now. We’ve patched it up so many times, it looks like a bag lady! Get it, bag lady??
Thanks for the giveaway.

jubilee says:
I’d LURVE to win an Oreck b/c I can’t afford it any other way. Less dusting is always a good thing in the Jubilant household. Plus the commercial guy is such a cutie and so sincere.
October 8th, 2008 at 3:08 pm
Laura says:
I hope to win the Oreck b/c my vac sucks, ha ha :o)

They had me at “dust less often”….pick me please!

Susie says:
Annual tune ups? Yes, please… my vaccuum is only 3 years old and it doesn’t suck for anything. Okay, it sucks, just not in a good way. Pick me!

Kimberly says:
Ummm….first of all, it’s pink :-) In a household of men, it’ll be so much fun to vacuum with pink (or watch my Man do it!) Second of all, the handheld weighs 5 pounds. That’ll be a lifesaver in my straight up and down townhouse with carpeted white (why would anyone choose white carpet..ever?) stairs.
October 8th, 2008 at 4:42 pm
Rebecca Tyndall says:
Uh, this is like a dream vacuum. I shouldn’t need to say more! :) :) :) But it really, really, really would come in handy!

Tammy says:
Hi Boomama! What a reason to de-lurk! I would love to have this vaccuum because I have bought several vaccuums, been given several vaccuums and still have disgusting carpet … there is nothing like vaccuuming and feeling the stuff (that your 3 children dropped while you weren’t looking) go directly under the vaccuum and hit you in the front of the legs!! And…. the current one that half-way picks up has discontinued bags and belts! By the way, thank you for making me smile on a regular basis … you lift my spirits. =)

Mommy, the Human Napkin says:
Oooh, I want to win! I love the hypo-allergenic filtration feature. Allergies kill us around here, especially since our house seems to attract the “outside” stuff that makes us all sneeze.
October 8th, 2008 at 5:30 pm
Denise J says:
I would LURVE to win an Oreck for my mother! I’ve already taken the plunge and invested in one. And there is only one way to use it. Push it with your right hand while saying “mmmm! oh yes! that’s awesome!” and keeping your left hand in the air to 1. hold the cord and 2. give praise for such a glorious machine!
October 8th, 2008 at 5:46 pm
Jennifer McNeil says:
I would lurve to win a lightweight Oreck vac. I have to climb two flights with my very heavy vac and it sure would be great to get my work-out from something other than a vac. Thanks!

I have nothing witty to add. It looks awesome. Ours was a free gift for completing a survey…and must be carried up and down stairs. A sassy pink, ergonomic, hypoallergenic, maneuverable FREE vacuum would be fabulous!

The Things We Do says:
Unlike a lot of your commenters, I actually really NEED a vacuum. I’ve bought several of the cheap ones through the years and they always break on me. The one I have now is a 30 year old Panasonic (I didn’t even know they made vacuums!) that a friend who is going off to be a missionary gave me (she felt sorry for me) but despite no side hose, no attachments, several holes in the cord, I can not afford even a cheap vacuum right now. Pathetic I know. I even started a business to help raise some money so I could get a new vacuum. This Panasonic is now making a metal-scraping-metal sound when I run it which is scary. I don’t really “need” an Oreck….I’m an American, I don’t really “need” much of anything. But I could use a free vacuum and I can appreciate the quality of an Oreck after all the dumb vacuums I’ve been through AND I’ve probably made this too long so I won’t get picked.
But, if anyone wants to help support my cause to purchase a new one (incase I don’t win this contest which is now at 1 out of 883) you can see my new business here. http://www.legacyprayerjournals.com.
Blessing to you all. =0) Okay, I’ll shut up now.

Lori - Queen of Dirty Laundry says:
I would love to have an Oreck! In fact, just as I was emptying my bagless today, dust flying all over the place, I thought, “There must be a better way.” I bet it’s called Oreck.
Thanks.
October 8th, 2008 at 8:48 pm
JULIE says:
I NEED A VACUUM LIKE THIS FOR MY DAD WHO HAS NO SPLEEN!!! HE GETS SICK VERY EASY
Unlike bagless vacuums, the Saniseal® system automatically seals shut, locking the dirt in the disposable filter bag. Changing bags is effortless, odorless and clean. And one Oreck bag can hold as much as four bagless dust cups.

My old Kirby (which is about 13 years old) is on its way out… I need a new vacuum and I would love to try an Oreck!!

Ellen says:
My vacuum is dying I need this bad. I like the furniture friendly feature
October 8th, 2008 at 9:18 pm
Kris says:
I would “lurve” this mostly for the “hypo-allergenicness” – but also because it’s cuter than my current vaccuum.
October 8th, 2008 at 9:38 pm
Melanie says:
I would lurve to win this vacuum because the vacuum I currently own leaves a funny little odor throughout my house when I vacuum.
October 8th, 2008 at 9:48 pm

I love this vacuum. It is got to be the cutest thing I have ever seen. I have an Oreck and think it is the greatest vacuum I have ever owned.

I would LOVE to win this because did you see the “direct suction” illustration on the website? I have the vacuum on the left! This giveaway vacuum would be great just because its pink, but it also looks like a really good product. I hope I win.

Barbara H. says:
Well, this is cool! We need a new vacuum — and I LOVE pink! I have never had an Oreck — I don’t think I have ever even seen a real live one in person — but everything I read about them sounds wonderful.
October 8th, 2008 at 10:50 pm
Hollie says:
I would lurve to win the pink oreck, because it would match perfectly with my ALL PINK KITCHEN!!! (seriously my kitchen is pink and white – check out my blog for pictures) And it would be so nice to be able to carry something that is as light as a feather instead of my ever-so-heavy monster of a vacuum!!!
October 8th, 2008 at 11:01 pm
Becky says:
The feature I would most enjoy is the light-weight nature of the beast. It seems easy to move around, and my current vacuum cleaner is crazy heavy.
October 8th, 2008 at 11:28 pm
Connie says:
I would simlpy love to win an Oreck, because my old vacuum is just about dayid. It’s not my fault. My husband made us get a canister vac when I wanted an upright the last time. So since it was his choice, I requested that he be in charge of it.
What can I say? He is a great vacuumer and has worn it out!!!
Please enter me. I need help!!!!
October 8th, 2008 at 11:36 pm

For years I have been searching for the perfect vacuum and haven’t found one — and I’ve tried lots! Maybethis is the one :) Plus it’s pink!

This one is so pretty that I just know I’d want to drag it out of the closet and use it every single day!

I would love to win this! I think I vacuumed up something underneath my child’s bed yesterday that I shouldn’t have, and my vacuum is now making a strange noise….So, a new vacuum may definitely be in order here!
Thanks!

Amy Culbertson says:
I would love to win the Oreck because of the way it goes from the carpet/hard floor concept and because of the lightweightness. Is that a word??? Also, well, because it is just plain cute.

kathy Pink Bicycle Arkansas says:
I am in the midst of doing some upgrading to my home and my vacuum will not stay upright anymore….also my old wet/dry vac bit the dust and I need two vacuums!!! My home is very dusty right now!

Brittney from Louisville, KY says:
Oh the Oreck. . . its my vacuum of choice. I have one now that my folks gave me before I got married (4 yrs ago) and they used it for like 4-5 years prior. Its an ol’ fart but keeps on chuggin’ along. They’re dependable and this one is adorable!!
October 9th, 2008 at 7:22 am
Jeannie says:
My mother has an Oreck and loves it because it does a great job and is so light and easy to push. I would love to have one but cannot pay what they cost–so I’ll just keep pushing my heavy Hoover around until I win this one! I love your blog, by the way. You always make me laugh and laughter truly is the best medicine, especially in these troubling times! Have a great day, Boo!
October 9th, 2008 at 7:34 am
rebecca says:
Reasons I’d love to win:
1) My vacuum is 11 years old and HEAVY. I have to go up and down the stairs with it.
2) I have 4 kids
3) one of them is highly allergic to … everything
thanks for the chance!

Lisa says:
I would love to have a lightweight, powerful vacuum. Although it is fashionable to have wood or tile floors throughout the house, we live in an old fashioned house with carpet on three different levels. I would love to be able to easily vacuum the steps and carry the machine up and down!
Thanks for offering this giveaway! May the dirtiest house win! heehee.
October 9th, 2008 at 8:11 am
Keri says:
I would love to win this! The fact that it is lightweight is nice, maybe my kids could use it. :) Plus my vacuum is on its last legs, so a new one would be very helpful — with 4 little kids and 2 cats in our house I have to vacuum a lot.
October 9th, 2008 at 8:23 am
Michelle Ray- This One's for the Girls says:
Well, having been the personal owner of an Oreck– I LOVE THEM!! And I think I am particularly deserving since mine died exactly one week after the 7-year warranty expired.
And I’m not getting another one anytime soon because my husband says that there is no way on this earth that he’s paying that much for a vacuum cleaner that only lasts for 7 years– no matter how good it is. So may God in His beloved mercy bestow upon me another one. Only much cuter this time. In pink, please!! :)
October 9th, 2008 at 8:34 am

I would love to have an Oreck because, first, I LOVE Orecks. Second, my husband used to use my vacuum in his office-cleaning business (kinda worn out). And third, for my 7-year-old son who can’t walk independently and plays on our living room floor.
Thanks for the opportunity!

Wow. I would love to win this for so many reasons. I support anything for the cure (Mom died of breast cancer). I love vacuums. I love Oreck. I have a big, hairy dog and three children. ‘Nuff said!

I would love to have an Oreck, so that I don’t have to continue buying the cheap ones every other year, once they stop working. It would be great to have a quality vaccuum!
October 9th, 2008 at 12:55 pm
Lisa says:
When I was growing up I did most of the vacuuming in my parent’s house with a horrible old vacuum. Then, when I was about 15, my mom bought an Oreck. It was delightful, and now every time I use my dust buster from a garage sale I sigh and remember the good times with the Oreck.
October 9th, 2008 at 1:43 pm
Fuschia says:
Oh. My. Word! A PINK vacuum cleaner! I can hardly stand it!!
I have a 13 year old Rainbow that is absolutely disgraceful. I’ve been putting off buying a new vacuum in favor of pesking little things like food, electricity, gasoline.
This would totally rock my world! Pretty pathetic world, huh?
October 9th, 2008 at 1:45 pm
Sarah Kate Branine says:
Dear BooMama–
I am quite excited about the giveaway. My beloved pup turns 3 next week, and this would make an incredible birthday gift to myself in honor of her birthday.
It also would help me with all of the hairy mess she leaves in my house!

Can’t think of a reason why I wouldn’t want one! The word “simple” jumped out at me a couple of times….sounds like the one for me.

Irish Mom says:
Oh I’d love me an Oreck!! And a pink one?? I’d be cleaning in style, thats fo-shore!!
I have always heard awesome things about Oreck and have a darling little red head with all sorts of environmental allergies, we’d definitly benefit. Maybe cure her eczema/asthma all together!! Ok, maybe not..but would sure help to get all those allergens outta my house!!
October 9th, 2008 at 4:27 pm

My wife would love to have an oreck (and I would too when it’s time to vacuum the basement) because of it’s attachments. She loves attachments.
