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!

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. :)

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 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 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.”

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?”

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.

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!
