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 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!
email is melodiesofmercy@bellsouth.net
“Self adjusts from carpet to floors”. That sells me.(See, I did look at the Oreck site…)
My parents have one and I LOVE it! My favorite color is pink so it would be so cool to have one……My chances get slimmer and slimmer with every entry though=(
I would love an Oreck! My old vaccuum is soooooo heavy to drag around that I’m done for the day when I finish the floors…and it’s 9 am !!!
I love the fact that it’s lightweight and will adjust when going from carpet to hard floors. This vacuum is great! Thanks for the giveaway.
I have a habit of buying cheap vacuum cleaners that last about a year. I could have bought TWO Orecks by now.
Thanks BooDarling!
Anything that advertises “dust less frequently” must be had!!!
And they are giving to one of my favorite and dearest causes!
Thanks!
dust less enough. enough said.
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.
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!
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?
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!
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!
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. :)
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!
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!
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!
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!
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!!
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!
I’d LURVE to win an Oreck because my vacume sucks. Or doesn’t suck, I should say. ;)
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!
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.
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!
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.
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!!
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.
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.
i’d love it because i know it’s better than what i got!
Who wouldn’t love a pink Oreck? It’s so cute and it does so much! (If it’ll help the generator, I’ll change my name to Amy…CAmy?)
I would love to win the Oreck because we need a new vacuum really badly! And I love that it’s pink!
I love that it’s pink and I love that the give away is linked for a great cause.
Oh, do I want this!!!
With 3 boys and a very hairy dog that sheds like crazy–I need this vacuum! The one I own is so heavy…I’d love to use a lighter weight one with so much power. Pick me, Pick me!
Oh my bloggity goodness! My carpets desperately need this new friend at our house. And, I love that they support the Susan G. Komen Foundation!
The Park Wife
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!
~Charlotte
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!
Thank you for such a wonderful giveaway, BooMama! Golden retriever. Enough said.
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. :)
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.
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.
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!
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!
Oh! Oh! I’d love this because it’s pink!! Pick me! Pick me!!
My momnlaw has this kind of vacuum and I have on occasion helped clean her house…I love it, it is so light unlike my beast of a vacuum. Thanks!
wennben@verizon.net
I want this because I love to vacuume!I clean houses for a living and that would really help me get some business when I tell them I have an oreck!! Please random number generator pick me!!
OH MY!!! I am officially an adult because the thought of winning a vacuum THRILLS ME!!! Mine currently blows out more dirt than it picks up.
Cara
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!
I would love to win the Oreck because it’s pink. And pink will make me happier when I am cleaning house!
I’d really like a new vacuum right about now!! I hope I win!
I need to win because I have a five year old son and a husband. Is that good enough?
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!
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!
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?

Oh yeah I would love an Oreck! My 2 toddlers make so many messes that a new Oreck could tackle!
what do i love? i “lurve” the PINK!
sarah!
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,
Jensen
Sign me up! I love that it’s light and uses less electricity.
2 dogs, 2 boys and a husband…
thanks for they giveaway!
Two words for why I want to win the Oreck…It’s pink! Thanks Boo Mama.
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.
I would love to win this Oreck because I need a new vacuum! Thanks SO MUCH for this giveaway! :)
That is one seriously cool vacuum. I would love to win that thing!
I would love this! I need to vacuum more around here…the dust bunnies may wander away with the rugs soon.
I love how lightweight these vacuums are. We use them at work, they are AWESOME! I only need three words to describe why I need an Oreck…TWO. YEAR. OLD.
I would love a new vacuum because my current one does not suck.
Which sounds like I don’t need a new vacuum but I promise, I do.
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.
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!! =)
That is one sassy sweeper!
Uh, My current vacuum, well it’s no good! I need an Oreck!
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.
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 =)
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??
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!
Thanks for such an awesome giveaway opportunity!
Oh me oh me oh me!!! 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!
Because my vacuum is on it’s last leg.
I like the hypoallergenic feature for an allergy ridden family.
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.
I would lurve to win this vacuum because I am in need of a new vacuum. Thanks for the giveaway, I love your blog!!!
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!
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!
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.
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!
I would like to try the oreck brand because it is known for it’s high quality.
I love that it works great on stairs and goes easily from carpet to tile/hard surface.
Hello? Why do I need a good vac? I just moved into a new house…with white carpet on the stairs. Heaven help me. I want clean carpet.
The end.
Too many people and animals messing up my world.
Now that’s a lot of comments in just one day! Wow! My vacuum is truly d-y-i-n-g – we have had it forever and with 4 young children it has seen many years of hard wear! It would be fabulous of course to not have to BUY a new one, but WIN one :).
Thanks for the chance!
Kathy
I love it – it’s PINK! And 5 pounds is always good when toting up & down stairs is involved.
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.
I would LOVE an Oreck because we just got a new black kitten and we have very light carpet! And I don’t own a real vacuum…
I would love to win this b/c I have two rather large hairy dogs and I need some serious help with the shedding.
I would love to win this!
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!
I would love to have this vacuum because mine is blowing out more dirt than it’s picking up right now!!! And, my best friend has an Oreck and says it is amazing.
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!
