Another Oreck, Anyone?

by BooMama on 6 October 2008

in Bloggity Fun

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!

Oreck

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!

For the record, I meant chore, not choir – so much for being funny.

Kim Miller October 6, 2008 at 1:32 pm

I love to Vacuum. I have had the same vacuum for over 15 years. I need a new Vacuum.

Angie-heartchild October 6, 2008 at 1:32 pm

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.

I would love to have such a lightweight vacuum! Mine weighs a ton!

bpinks October 6, 2008 at 1:33 pm

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!

Nicki October 6, 2008 at 1:33 pm

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!! :)

Valerie October 6, 2008 at 1:33 pm

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?

Heather October 6, 2008 at 1:33 pm

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 :)

Patty October 6, 2008 at 1:34 pm

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.

Anna October 6, 2008 at 1:35 pm

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.

Marcy October 6, 2008 at 1:35 pm

I need something pink and sassy to clean with!

Kate October 6, 2008 at 1:37 pm

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)

Brandi October 6, 2008 at 1:37 pm

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???

Kathleen October 6, 2008 at 1:39 pm

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.

Melissa May October 6, 2008 at 1:40 pm

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!)

Smoochiefrog October 6, 2008 at 1:43 pm

I’d love to win b/c maybe with a lighter vacuum, my kidlets wouldn’t complain so much about having to vacuum.

Emily October 6, 2008 at 1:44 pm

I would love a lighter one like this! We have lots of stairs and it would be great!

LisaAnniePants October 6, 2008 at 1:44 pm

That IS a cute vacuum!
I happen to be in need of a new one at this very moment :)

Jesse October 6, 2008 at 1:45 pm

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. :-)

Chris October 6, 2008 at 1:46 pm

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!

Rhonda October 6, 2008 at 1:46 pm

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…..

Brittany D. October 6, 2008 at 1:46 pm

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!

jennifer October 6, 2008 at 1:47 pm

I love the fact that it’s bagless AND also that it traps dust and allergens! That would improve my quality of life =)

Mary @ Simple Things October 6, 2008 at 1:47 pm

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!

Mary-Lindsey October 6, 2008 at 1:48 pm

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!!!

Martha October 6, 2008 at 1:48 pm

I would LOVE a lightweight, pink vacuum!!! Plus, I am sneezing at the moment… the allergen reduction would be a great bonus!

Kelly October 6, 2008 at 1:48 pm

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.

treehousemomma October 6, 2008 at 1:49 pm

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 October 6, 2008 at 1:49 pm

Mom of four boys ages seven and under needs as much suction to clean dirt as she can get.

Think it can clean faces?

maxine bryant October 6, 2008 at 1:49 pm

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.

Kathy Storm October 6, 2008 at 1:51 pm

Ooo…I would love to win an Oreck…they have such a great reputation for quality.

Seaton October 6, 2008 at 1:51 pm

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

Jodi October 6, 2008 at 1:51 pm

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?

Jerri Lynn October 6, 2008 at 1:51 pm

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!

Mitzi October 6, 2008 at 1:52 pm

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!!

Stacy October 6, 2008 at 1:54 pm

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.

gina October 6, 2008 at 1:54 pm

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.

Rachel @ Grasping for Objectivity in my Subjective Life October 6, 2008 at 1:55 pm

it’s gorgeous! I would love to have it to help me actually WANT to vacuum? Maybe? Does it have that nifty effect also?

Karla October 6, 2008 at 1:55 pm

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.

Shelly W. October 6, 2008 at 1:55 pm

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!

Karla October 6, 2008 at 1:55 pm

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. Thanks for doing this. My mother has been diagnosed with breast cancer so I am all about doing all you can.

Lynne October 6, 2008 at 1:58 pm

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.

KountryMama October 6, 2008 at 1:59 pm

I love the sassy pink vacuums! Maybe I’ll win this time!!!

ellen b October 6, 2008 at 1:59 pm

I’d love to win one to see if their claim to fame is worth it. :0)

Shara October 6, 2008 at 2:01 pm

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 October 6, 2008 at 2:01 pm

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!!!

Jesica October 6, 2008 at 2:01 pm

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!

Joanna October 6, 2008 at 2:02 pm

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.

Lisa Ault October 6, 2008 at 2:02 pm

I would love to have a new Oreck. The clean for the cure is a great cause.

Megan October 6, 2008 at 2:02 pm

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!
