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 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!!!!
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!
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.
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!
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!!
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!
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!
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.
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.
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!! :)
I really need a GOOD vacuum. This one is adorable, and seems light, efficient and powerful – perfect for my growing family!
I am in desperate need of this. Please consider me for this.
My vacuum is so old, I really need a good one, please!!
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!

My vacuum is getting old and this one is so cute. The color is great. And I know that orecks are great vacuums.
thanks
Oh I would love this awesome vaccumm and love the cause. It’s one that is special to me.
Many reasons: 1. It’s pink! 2. love the cause 3. cuts down on dusting! yes!
This is fun! Thanks a lot
I have 3 little kids 3 and under and cream-colored carpet. Would LUV to win!!!
I’d love to win this, because, goodness, who wouldn’t love a gorgeous black and pink vacuum??? I know I would!
I would love to win because I desperately need a new vacuum. That’s it, but the fact that it’s PINK is such a fountain of blessings. I cannot wait to see my hubs vacuuming with this pink vacuum.
Oh I kid!
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 Lurve a new vacuum, our old one is horrible and an Oreck would be such a great improvement. Plus, it’s for a great cause!!
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!
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.
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?
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!
many thanks,
Sarah Kate
I would love to win an Oreck because my current vacuum cleaner is the one my husband picked out of a trash dumpster and that is just sad.
They gave me all kinds of reasons, light weight, hypo-allergenic, less dusting etc. I just really want it ’cause it’s pretty. I luv me some pink and black.
How awesome is this vacuum. Always heard how great they are but I’ve never tried one! And it only weighs 9lbs!
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.
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!!
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.
I want this vacuum because I am tired of crappy vacuums that don’t work. And it can help cure breast cancer!!!
I would love to dust less often, and if this pink baby can help me with that, I want it!
4 kids 3 cats 2 rabbits 1 husband
10 great reasons i would LOVE to win this beautiful vacuum!!
i’ve never had a vacuum cleaner that works more than about 2 years… so i NEED a decent vac… come on.. pick #938 (if that is my #)
My mom is a bargain queen and buys most things second hand, except for her vacuum. She has an Oreck that she purchase new. I love to vacuum when I am at her house. I would love, love, love to have my own Oreck. This is the best giveaway I have seen on a blog! Thanks for the chance!
Um….I’d love one cause dehairing my carpet with duct tape is so tedious
What an AWESOME giveaway! I am so IN! I would love to win the vacuum because I just graduated from college, and franky, my vacuum cleaner was thrown to the curb, leaving me with none. So therefore, instead of buying another one for $30 and tossing it in a few months, I figure I’ll try to win this one! I know I won’t, but it’s worth a try!
With a mother-in-law and sister-in-law that clean for fun ~ my husband deserves a sassy wife that can make it look like I clean for fun with a great Oreck to clean the lime dust, goldfish crackers, hair that is falling out because of stress, and oh the sand from the hours of fun sand box filled carpet. The in-laws make it look like they just put the vaccum back in the closet but atleast I can tell you what’s going on around the world~especially on Boomama!
My 30th birthday is October 12, and I asked my mom for a new vacuum for my birthday. (I have a baby and a dog that loves to shed.) How cool would it be to win a vacuum and have my mom buy me other fun things for my birthday!
I have allergy kids & this Oreck would be a blessing in my dusty ~ dusty house.
Pink is a bonus!!
To be honest, the main reason I would love to have this vacuum cleaner is because of the cause that the sales support. I am a cancer survior (16 years–whoo hoo!) and I also treat people who have cancer for a living. I have every reason in the world to show my support for cancer research…..

I would LURVE this Oreck b/c my vacuum is about gone and I need a new one! This Oreck is my dream vacuum! I love the pink and black!I love the cause it was created for! I love that this Oreck comes w/the small vacuum and attatchments ! I love that it would help me not have to dust so much (I hate dusting!)! I love that it’s lightweight! I have 3 little girls who like to help me around the house, but they just cant push our heavy vacuum around! pick me! pick me! :)
I love that it is lightweight and the bag sealer thingy…I always spread more dust when dumping it than should be necessary…it is a mess. I also have had ours in the shop twice. I am hard on vacuum cleaners..it would be so nice to have one that could actually take all the dirt this family of 6 has to offer :)
I have ALWAYS wanted an Oreck. My last vacuum was a BIRTHDAY present, for heavens sake, from my husband. It was 8 years ago and it is limping around on its very last leg. My last child just left the house for college, so we are empty nesters (don’t like it one bit). I read all the post with the moms and kids and dogs. But I have had all of the above for years and my house is in dire need of a VERY good cleaning.
i love that it is PINK and the fact that it isn’t heavy. whoops, that’s two things.
thanks, boomama!

I’m sold on just the fact that it’s pink!! However, the clincher is the sealed bags–no more mess!!
I would lurve to win that bee-yu-tee-mous pink Oreck because if there’s a more effective way of taking the dirt in my house and helping it not be in my house, I am there. The Oreck is sending me tiny little love notes full of promises to do just that.
Plus, a girl just can’t have enough pink appliances.
well, that’s just such a pretty vacuum and who wouldn’t want something lightweight that does the job?
I love it—-and my vacuum is over 10 years old!
My floor is so yucky that, even as we speak, the carpet fibers are squeaking out tiny little pleas for help around the giant dust bunnies…..
Plus, our old vacuum cleaner has been going on eight years of faithful service adn is currently being held together by my husband’s mechanical ingenuity and several large pieces of silver duct tape.
Thanks Oreck for all that you do to defeat dirt (and contributing to the cancer cause!)
Ok so here’s why i should get the oreck
*i LOVE me some Boo mama
*I have a pomeranian
*I am NOT from Canada
*my son has asthma
*and most importantly that vacumm
is DARLING !!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for considering me !!!

I would love to win this Oreck for my stepson and his new wife– they have been married for about 5 weeks and need a vacuum badly. I’m just thrilled that Caleb wants to vacuum– something I think he has never done to any previous apartment. This could all be his wife’s influence, of course. Anyway, DH and I have an Oreck and love it, but it’s a bit beyond our current budget to get one for the kids. We’ve looked at some less-expensive vacuums but know they just do not work as well. So– if I win this giveaway, I’ll be gladly passing on the prize!
Thanks for sponsoring the giveaway, Boomama!
I love that it’s pink!
I would love to win this Oreck for my husband (even though it is pink!). He suffers from OCD and has a tendency to blow up vacuums. We have been together 4 years and we are on our 4th vacuum. We are getting ready to move into a new house so I know it is just a matter of time before #4 is gone too. HELP!
Well, my vacuum is on it’s last leg…and when I say it sucks, well, I don’t mean like a good little vacuum. ;) I would love to be sassy when I vacuum and I would love to show others I can pick up a sassy pink bowling ball, too! ;) And i have to pick up after the fam……they leave dirt.
I would love to win this vacuum because it is just too cool, and the fact that my current vacuum is a hand-me-down from my Mama and is really about on its last leg. I could really use this. Thanks!
I would “lurve” (what’s up with that instead of love?) to win this vacuum because, well it’s awesome!! Oreck has a great reputation and I know they’re supposed to be great for people with allergies (and I have crazy bad allergies, especially to dust mites). My current vacuum is close to retirement, so it would be awesome to replace it with this snazzy Oreck! Thanks for hosting this giveaway!
I would love a new vac. It’s not in the budget right now so this would help out greatly with my 5 messy kids.
I would so love to win this fabulous vacuum cleaner.
I love two things about the Oreck that are pretty simple. That it ALWAYS works. I mean really – the thing could suck up a watermelon even with a dusty used up bag.
The second is the size and weight ratio. Easy on this old back O’ mine that is ever aging and suffering from degenerative disc disease.
I was introduced to Oreck while cleaning houses with a lady from our church. It sold me and it is a model that was about 10 years old. AMAZING… Let Me Tell You. I just have never had $600.00 to buy my own. SO, fingers crossed… PLEASE PICK ME. Pink and Black are two of my favroite colors! WOOO HOOO!
I would love to win this vacuum because it is lightweight! I am getting tired of hauling our heavy vacuum around the three levels of our home. Thanks!
I would love to win an Oreck, because I killed my vacuum cleaner with my hair (It did last for over 10 years, though), and I do not currently have one, and have to borrow my mother’s vacuum…
Whaaaa!
That thing is ADORABLE!!
I would love to win this wonderfully pink Oreck, so I can stop wasting money on cheap-o Wal-Mart vacuum cleaners that last maybe 3 years. Looks like I would’ve learned my lesson already!
I would love to win this for my wife! Who deserves a new vacuum. The last one I bought her was for Valentine’s Day…and it’s broke down!
This month is her birthday 10/12
She would lurve it!
