Oreck Magnesium Vacuum Givewaway…

February 25, 2013

oreck2

Today I am so thrilled to be giving away a fabulous vacuum cleaner.   If you have never heard of the Oreck Magnesium,  you will want to try one out after I share my experience with you.  I was gifted an Oreck to try out for a few weeks,  review it & give my honest opinion about it.

I have been testing out the Oreck for the last 3 months.  I previously owned a Dyson. I used it for the last 6 years and loved it.  It treated me well.  BUT after the first time I switched over to the Oreck, I was in shock at the dirt the Dyson missed on my carpet.  There was so much leftover.  I was sold from day 1. It really is a top of the line vacuum cleaner (made in the USA) that actually works well.

There are only 2 settings, Low and High.  The vacuum adjusts on its own, to any type of flooring.  You don’t have to keep switching back and forth from settings. My most favorite part of this vacuum is that it glides easily on my high shag carpet. The dyson struggled with that.

The Oreck Magnesium is so lightweight (7.7 pounds) and easy to carry up and down the stairs by its large handle.

The one thing I was apprehensive about was switching from a canister to a bag.  I actually like the bag more, especially since it’s a HEPPA filter. There is literally no mess (unlike the canister which leaves residual dirt) and the bag holds a LOT of dirt. I’ve only had to switch out the bag once. So we need to switch it out about every 3 months or so.  We vacuum a lot and have 2 pets.

All you have to do is pull it out with the white tag and put in the new one. Its so easy!

Every time I vacuum, my carpet looks brand new again. It makes those beautiful vacuum marks that I can’t live without. <3

 It truly is a beautiful vacuum and totally worth the money.  I only wish I had purchased it a long time ago.  This vacuum cleaner had me at hello!!

I also received the Ultimate Handheld Vacuum Cleaner. I use it on our stairs and on small areas that need cleaned up (crumbs, etc). It’s a powerful, portable and lightweight handheld vacuum perfect for above-the-floor cleaning, includes a 20 ft. power cord, five specialized cleaning tools, and an installed HEPA filter.

    My parents have an Oreck and love it, as well!

  2. I learned (from the oreck website), that this vacuum is called “Magnesium”, due to the fact that it has a magnesium frame…. Interesting! It also states that the vacuum will lie almost completely flat to go under furniture….. I adore that trait in a vacuum!! I’d adore this, I’m sure! Although I’ve never won anything in my life….a girl can certainly dream!!

  37. Christine Roeske says:

    The Saniseal® system automatically seals shut, locking the dirt in the disposable filter bag. Changing bags is effortless

    30 ft cord means fewer stops and more vacuuming. Has also received the Gold Seal of Approval from Carpet and Rug Institute

  49. Shelly D says:

    I learned that it is under 8 pounds and the bag is a HEPPA filter. That’s awesome. We are an allergy family.

  52. Rebecca says:

  59. Lesa Johnson says:

    “large, high-performance wheels give Magnesium RS the agility it needs for every surface, from hardwood and tile to plush and frieze carpet without stopping for manual adjustments”
    I love that about it so that I’m not having to switch a dial and guess what height is right for my different surfaces!

  60. Kelly Hamilton says:

    Love that you can go from hardwood to carpet without changing any settings yourself!! Cool!

  61. Susan says:

  64. Cameron Warren says:

    It has a magnesium frame hence the name

  65. Lisa A. says:

  66. janet says:

    easy to clean under furniture

  67. Pat says:

    I have a Kirby and would love to put it up against this awesome sounding Lightweight vacuum. I had a Rainbow befor the Kirby and was thinking about the Dyson so this would be a blessing to own this. As Hillary said this thing weighs less than either of my children did at birth.

  68. Niki Holsinger says:

    The Oreck has a 7 year warranty and 5 annual tune-ups!!

  69. Shelley Welch says:

    I can’t believe it’s only 7.7 lbs. We’re moving into a new house with 2 sets of stairs and 3 levels….this would be a breeze to carry up and down. I currently have a Dyson, and was considering having to buy a new vacuum just because I didn’t want to lug it all around the house!! Maybe I can win an AWESOME new Oreck!

  70. Cami Smith says:

    Love that it is only 7.7 lbs and definitely love the 30ft cord. I’ll be able to vacuum without stopping!!

  74. Whitney says:

    I had an Oreck, which I LOVED, until I accidentally sucked up something I shouldn’t have and burned out the motor. 🙁 Now I’m stuck with some old clunker castoff from my father-in-law. I love that the Oreck Magnesium RS adjusts to different types of flooring automatically.

  75. Caits says:

    Wow, love that there are only 2 settings and that it will adjust to floor on its own. so cool.

  76. Thyra says:

    I love that its oly 7.7lbs. No more putting off vacuuming upstairs because lugging the giant vacuum up is more of a chore than the chore itself.

  77. Lisa says:

    I would LOVE LOVE LOVE this vacuum! I have hardwood floors and this would be awesome for getting stuff out of the cracks…something I deal with all the time! And it’s lightweight…we have a 2-story home! And it’s wireless…how cool is that!!!!

  78. Michelle says:

    Two things I learned, and love, about the Oreck Magnesium RS vacuum is that it lies flat to get under beds and other furniture and the side brushes that make cleaning up against baseboards and edges easy.

  79. Amy says:

    It’s only 7.7 pounds! Awesome

  80. I followed all the instructions and am back from visiting the Oreck sight. Have always wondered how these vacuums stack up to other heavier models so I was happy to read your assessment. I use what feels to be a 100 lb. Kirby. I love it that the Oreck vacuum automatically adjusts itself to the different levels as I have wood floors, stone and carpet in my home and of course it being the lightest weight full power upright swivel in America is a huge plus. Thank you for hosting this give away. I love your blog. It is helping to keep me motivated and on track especially this cleaning series.

  81. Beth P says:

    I love that it’s furniture friendly & has a low profile. I need that!

  82. Tracie says:

    I like the way the handle lies flat to get under furniture. With two dogs and four cats, fur is EVERYWHERE!

  83. Lindsay Lee says:

    I learned that the vacuum is only 7.7 pounds!!!

  84. Christa says:

    I LOVE that the vacuum is less than 8 pounds, and that the handheld vac has a 20 foot cord! Two things that bug me about my vacuums, but not a feature I necessarily would look for when shopping for a new one! 🙂

  85. amanda smith says:

    I learned from the website that it weights 7.7lbs.

  86. Melissa Dehne says:

    I love the fact that it is only 7.7 pounds! I truly could get that up and down my stairs with no issues!

  87. Anonymous says:

    love the side brushes… seems like it would be excellent for hard woods which is what i need!

  88. jessica says:

    love the side brushes, seems like it would be excellent for hard woods which is what i need!

  89. Tiffany L. says:

    I like that the Oreck Magnesium RS is lightweight at only 7.7 pounds and the low profile soft side and top design that it has. I couldn’t tell you how many times I have nicked a piece of furniture by trying to vacuum under it with my other vacuum.

  90. Shelly Thompson says:

    The Oreck Magnesium is lightweight and can easily be taken up and down stairs. Also, you do not have to do manual adjustments between floor coverings (carpet to tile, etc.) and a USA made product!!

  91. Mary Kay Holden says:

    It is only 7.7 lbs. I would love one!

  92. Libby says:

    I love that it lies flat to go under furniture! I have been wanting one for years!

  93. Sarabeth says:

    I can’t decide which feature is my favorite, we have hardwood and carpet in our downstairs, so the fact that the Oreck will automatically adjust to each floor is amazing. The lightweight versatility is a huge factor for me as I have scoliosis and it makes carrying heavy objects cumbersome. And for myself and my son who both suffer from asthma, the HEPPA filter bag is a huge bonus! Good luck to everyone entering!

  94. Sherri says:

    Love, love, love the fact that it will lie flat to go under furniture. That would be so great!

  95. Kelly S. says:

    I would love to win this! We are moving back to the states after years of being overseas and I will need a new vacuum. I will def look into this one, 7.7 pounds and headlights! Sounds great!

  96. Lisa says:

    Love that it has sidebrushes for my baseboards! I will finally be able to repaint my baseboards and not worry about scuffing them again!!!

  97. Julie says:

    Made in the USA!

  98. Katie says:

    I learned from the website it has large, high-performance wheels, which help in its navigation on all floor types. I was also happy to see it has pretty high customer reviews.

  99. Lianne S. says:

    I learned that it will adjust to whatever surface you are cleaning – carpet, hardwood, etc. And that it can lay flat to get under furniture, love that!

  100. tammy says:

    Same as you Toni, I to have been a Dyson owner for years, my Dyson Original just finally cleaned for the last time a few weeks ago. After much searching and research on many vacuums I think the Oreck Magnesium would be a great addition to my cleaning routine. With it only being 7 lbs even my kids could handle it. I love the fact that it can go under furniture, that would elimitate moving items around. Also with my kids in 4h we have many indoor animals, the HEPA bag would help cut down on the allergies!!

  101. Becky Burmeister says:

    It only weighs 7.7lbs!!! That will be awesome when I have to drag it up and down the stairs! 🙂

  102. Laura Blackburn says:

    I LOVE this vacuum! It’s lightweight, has several features I’m looking for in an upright (swivel motion, high-powered, wireless and affordable!). With five children, a messy husband and a dog, we go through vacuums like its our job 🙂

  103. Chelsea says:

    I love that it is 7.7 pounds! My recently broken Kirby weighs close to 25 pounds.

  104. Misty says:

    I too love the look of the vacuum lines in the carpet! How exciting it would be to own one of these. I learned that its so powerful it feels self propelled.

  105. Stef Bess says:

    I love that it will lay flat to go under furniture and that it is good for the hardwood floors!

  106. Tara Wilson says:

    It’s only 7.7lbs that’s less than my son was at birth 🙂 Nice and lightweight.
    It has swivel steering….AMAZING! My current vacuum does NOT have that!!!!!

  107. Erin says:

    It’s really light weight and the lower profile is great for getting under the furniture and especially my dining room table and chairs.

  108. Heather L says:

    It only weighs 7.7 pounds and can clean any surface!

  109. Michelle Hoffman says:

    Amazing vacuum that comes in at 7.7 lbs, self-adjusts to floor type, and made in the USA . . . what more could you ask for? Please replace my Dyson-smyson for me!

  110. Sherry S. says:

    My first experience with an Oreck vacuum was when I was teaching and had to clean up my own classroom. We were each given an Oreck (no frills) but it did an awesome job! I have a Dyson now but just told my husband that my next vacuum will be an Oreck. What I love about this new vacuum is how lightweight it is. I am contanstly vacuuming and need a vacuum that can go from carpet to hardwood with ease.

  111. Carol S says:

    The Oreck Magnesium RS vacuum has a wireless 2 speed QuickSwitch in the handle that enables you to select the right power levels and move smoothly across all floor types.

  112. Beth Holmes says:

    I learned from the oreck.com website the the Magnesium RS has a new feature: side brushes which are great for cleaning baseboards. We have lots of baseboards so these would be terrific to have on a new vacuum.

  113. Debra N says:

    I learned that the Magnesium RS is the lightest, full-powered, swivel-steering upright vacuum cleaner in America.

  114. Katy says:

    Love that it lies flat to easily fit under furniture!

  115. Heather Castillo says:

    Side brushes make cleaning up against baseboards and edges easy. Additionally, Magnesium RS is so powerful it feels self-propelled.

  116. Ann M says:

    I love the cord snap. We have had to replace multiple cords that have been chewed up in the vacuum. Having two dogs and two teenagers, this would be a blessing in our home.

  117. Beth Holmes says:

    Is Liking the FB page the same as Following the page. I can’t figure out how to follow the page? I have liked it and signed up for Notifications and Subscribed to the newsletter.

  118. Jessica says:

    I learned that the reason this vacuum is so light (7.7 pounds) is because its frame is made from “a unique magnesium alloy frame”. I’m guessing that is where the name comes from 🙂

  119. Tara says:

    What an amazing giveaway! We need a new vaccuum so badly. This vaccuum looks amazing.

  120. Lindsay says:

    I love that the power settings are in the handle and not at the base of the vacuum! That makes it much easier to switch when necessary 🙂

  121. Ali says:

    I learned that it has swivel steering and that you can go from one type of flooring to anther without stopping to manually adjust the vacuum. With 2 cats and a very allergic fiancé, the filter is a great feature!

  122. Jade curtice says:

    I just learned that is self propelled, lightweight and easy to lug up stairs. Love that!

  123. Amy Lauren says:

    I learned that it’s under 8 pounds, which would really help because we have stairs and I have to get my husband to lug our current vac up them!

  124. Jennifer H says:

    I NEED to have this vacuum. What great features!!! One of the things that I learned is that the Oreck Magnesium RS Vacuum is built to last and comes with a 7-year warranty. THANK YOU for sponsoring such an awesome giveaway.

  125. Sara says:

    The vacuum has a 20 foot power cord!

  126. kathy w says:

    Love how it helps to do steps easier.

  127. Susan J says:

    I love that it is only 7.7 pounds and is easily carried up and down stairs! I recently put a hole in the wall at the bottom of the stairs from the flying vacuum.

  128. kathy says:

    we have bought a vacuum EVERY year. we have never been able to afford a good one. with kids and dogs and cats i would vacuum 3 to 4 times a day and just wear them out. get our income tax and buy a new cheap one.this sounds amazing. super suction, lightweight. gets UNDER furniture. sounds like it would last more than a year

  129. Nicole says:

    It’s only 7.7ibs and can vacuum any surface!! AND it’s wireless!!

  130. Dawn Hogue says:

    LOVE that it is only 7.7 pounds. Our vacuum recently fell down the stairs when I was trying to vacuum them. This new vacuum would be a great help 🙂

  131. Wendy says:

    I love the ‘Easy Snap’ cord clip!

  132. Janet says:

    It’s wireless and you can use it on all types of floors.

  133. Adela Keranen says:

    Love to not use a mop anymore and chemicals!

  134. Jessica Catherine says:

    I love the fact that is self-adjusts to the type of floor you’re on, unlike my dyson which I have to change settings on from carpet to wood floors.

  135. Anne says:

    I love how lightweight this new model is! We have an older oreck that is about ready to die and have been debating what to do. Thanks for the info!

  136. Jennifer says:

    It goes all the way under beds and furniture!! Finally!

  137. Marcy says:

    It has side brushes!!!! Oh how I want this vacuum to clean close to my baseboards…

  138. Andrea says:

    I like that it has side brushes to clean against baseboards.

  139. Courtney Ritchey says:

    Wow, that looks like nice vacuum! Would love to win this.

  140. DeNise Tatum says:

    Its very lightweight and has incredible suction.

    My email is dttatum@yahoo.com

  141. sarah says:

    I find it most interesting that it comes with annual check ups.

  142. Robyn says:

    The Oreck looks and sounds wonderful. 7.7 pounds AND it swivels!!! I’m sold!

  143. Shannon says:

    My favorite thing that I learned is how lightweight it is, only 7.7lbs! That and that it also comes with a handheld vacuum too!

  144. Vickie says:

    I love that the Magnesium lies almost flat to get under furniture-great for under beds and couches. I also really like the side cleaning brushes to clean baseboards and edges more easily.

  145. Jennifer says:

    The Oreck Magnesium is the news model weighing it at 7.7 lbs making it the lightest full power in America.
    I have to tell you my mom had an Oreck when I was growing up (Okay she still has) I loved the light weight of it. Even if I don’t will this I swear one day I will own an Oreck.

  146. Nikole says:

    Twin LED headlights! How cool is that?

  147. Donna Tycer says:

    Love the lightweight 7.7 lbs and the ease of using it from one surface to the next WITHOUT adjusting anything.

  148. Amanda C says:

    I am torn between loving the side brushes for baseboards (that is where my current vacuum just seems to blow all the dirt up against!) and the fact that it is only 7.7 lbs! We don’t have much storage room so the vacuum gets stored in the basement – which means I have to lug it up 3 flights of stairs to get to the bedrooms! Not sure what my current vacuum weighs but it is significantly more than that!!

  149. pat says:

    Made in USA!

  150. Jessie Meade says:

    Good Morning Toni! I love reading your daily posts whether it be on Facebook, your blog, Pinterest or Instagram. This is my first contest entry and I am excited to learn about the Oreck line. I have always wanted a Dyson myself, hearing nothing but positive feedback, but due to their price, I currently use a Shark (which has been nice but has not provided the best clean for our combination tile, hardwood and carpeted floors). We are also getting a puppy soon so having clean floors will be a must!

    The most interesting thing I learned about the Oreck Magneisum Vacuum is that is it has a feature called a “QuickSwitch®” in the handle, which is wireless, enables you to select the right power levels and move smoothly across all floor types. Also, it has large, high-performance wheels which allow you to easily change from one surface to another, (hardwood and tile to plush and frieze carpet) without stopping for manual adjustments! Thanks for sharing this product! Can’t wait to hear more about it’s performance.

    My Facebook account (where I follow ABFOL and shared the giveaway) uses a different e-mail address than my daily e-mail account provided with this comment to reduce clutter and the chance of having my regular e-mail hacked 🙂

  151. Here are a few things I learned (and love BTW) – that the Oreck Magnesium lies FLAT to get into those are to reach places (under beds, furniture, etc). Also, it has a side brush for baseboards! Fingers crossed the Oreck gets to come and play at my house!

  152. Trisha says:

    I love that you can go from wood to carpet effortlessly! This is an amazing machine and I would be honored to have one… especially since I vacuum every single day!!!

  153. Vicky Peavler says:

    The fact that this cleaner is only 7.7 lbs and has a low profile and furniture friendly sound great. Thanks for the giveaway.

  154. Natalie says:

    My vacuumed is so heavy…so I would totally dig a vacuumed that cleans this well and only weighs about 7 lbs

  155. kori says:

    7.7 lbs perfect for my
    kiddos to help with no worries 🙂

  156. Jacalyn says:

    I love there is a side brush that makes cleaning up against baseboards….This would be so helpful since I have a messy two year old.

  157. Shaylin says:

    Okay, this might seem like the simplest one, but HOLY 7 POUNDS?! That’s lighter than my shih tzu puppy!!

  158. Jessie Coon says:

    The 7 year warranty is wonderful! You don’t find that on any product these days!

  159. Danene Dorcas says:

    I love that the Oreck had LED headlights so I can see as I go under furniture, that it has a 30 foot cord (!), and that it had side brushes for my baseboards. I love the weight…our house is two floors and my kids help with the vacuuming.

  160. Sue King says:

    I love the side brushes and it is made of a magnesium frame, so it is light!!

  161. Fallon says:

    it is able to go under furniture! I swear most vacuums are designed by men because they’re never thought through 100% this one must have been designed by a woman! it has everything that is needed. light weight, lights, and easy to maneuver!

  162. Teri Morrison says:

    I like the fact that it is only 7.7 pounds! Easy to carry up and down the stairs! Maybe my kids could carry it too!

  163. Anonymous says:

    I have learned that the “HEPA inner bag, captures 99.97% of particles at .3 microns” (had to look up what microns were. It is a “unit of length equal to one millionth (10 -6) of a meter”). It collects those things that make us sneeze and have agitation like: pollen, dust, smoke, animal dander and mold spores. This is so nice because my husband and son have allergies. Since we just moved to NC we have noticed a change.
    I also like the fact that it cleans very close the baseboards. That is a huge thing for me when I vaacum. I think I’ve just fallen in love with this vaacum. It’s a gem.
    Thank you for giving me a chance to check out another product.

  164. Grechen says:

    It is the newest addition to the Magnesium line & it’s light weight! That’s a plus!

  165. Andrea in WI says:

    That beautiful Oreck had great side brushes and only weis 7.7 lbs. That is less than my cat!

  166. Anne says:

    I like that it is an amazingly light 7.7 lbs, making it easy to carry up and down the stairs. I also like the new side brushes feature.

  167. Katie C. says:

    I like the idea that it’s light and easily maneuverable. I need something that I can pull out quickly and easily for the pet hair!

  168. Tina says:

    I would love to own one of those vacuums! Thanks for the opportunity!

  169. melissa brown says:

    I love that it feels self-propelled. Vacuuming always hurts my back, and this one sounds like it wouldn’t since it’s so light weight and powerful.

  170. Erika Rohm says:

    I actually went to the website when you posted about it the other day, I fell in love with this vacuum! I Have pets that shed quite a bit and I am looking for a good vacuum. I really like the fact that it can go to any floor surface without any manual adjustment. I also like that it has side brushes to clean the baseboards.

  171. Heidi Huerta says:

    This vacuum sets the standard for vacuums!! With a suction brush rotating 7,000 times per minute, this is a household necessity!!

  172. JenSteinheimer says:

    Oreck is made in the U.S.

  173. Leslie Galloway says:

    It weighs less than 8 pounds… which is awesome for getting it upstairs.

  174. Annie Lema says:

    I learned that it weighs only 7.7 pounds!!! 🙂

  175. I learned that it has new side brushes to easily clean along baseboards and walls! 🙂

  176. Mary Lou McCann says:

    I like that it has “new SlimSwivel™ Design ” and can go from different floor styles.

  177. Nancy Tu'ivai says:

    Yikes!! I just wrote all of my knowledge I gained from the Oreck website about the Magnesium RS. It captures around 99.97% of all those allergens that are flowing through some of our home such as, pollen, dander, dust. This is especially effective due to the fact that my son and husband have allergies. Love that!
    I also love that fact that it has side brushes to have a better baseboard clean.
    Thank you for giving me the chance to find a wonder vacuum! It sounds like a dream.

  178. crisa says:

    it is the newest in the magnesium line of oreck vacuums

  179. Jeanette M C says:

    I loved it’s furniture friendly design.

  180. Gin says:

    It lays flat!!! It weighs only 7.7 pounds!!! Has swivel steering!!! Sounds wonderful to me 🙂

  181. Carrie says:

    I didn’t know Oreck had a hand-held model with a shoulder strap. I definitely would find this useful!

  182. Danene Dorcas says:

    I love that the Oreck has LED lights for cleaning under/in dark areas, that it has a 30 foot cord (!) and that it has side brushes for my baseboards!

  183. Rona says:

    So powerful it feels self propelled!

  184. molly lentz says:

    I love that the cord has an easy snap so it won’t get in your way! I can’t tell you how many times that happens with my current vacuum and it drives me crazy.

  185. This is an amazing giveaway given that the Oreck RS retails for $599.99. I currently have a Dyson and would LOVE to give it to my daughter and use this wonder! Thank you for the opportunity.

  186. Looks great!

    The Saniseal® system automatically seals shut, locking the dirt in the disposable filter bag.

  187. Shannon Joyce says:

    This vacuum looks awesome! I like how it is limber enough to lower to almost a flat level, this would be great for under beds and under couch. Another feature that we do not typically see is the nifty little brushes on the side of the vacuum. The other feature I like it that it has a Hepa inner bag to catch all those nasty little particles.

  188. Kelli G says:

    Brushes to help clean corners and against baseboards … laying flat to get under furniture … I’m in!

  189. Amy says:

    The wireless QuickSwitch looks so incredible handy!!

  190. Staci says:

    Oooo! It goes flat so it will go under my girls beds. Yipee!!!

  191. wanda says:

    I love everything about this vacuum! Easily moves across all floor types with the QuickSwitch system on the handle. Lies flat to get under furniture! If only it could run itself! 🙂

  192. Jen (Tiny Oranges) says:

    It’s the lightest vacuum cleaner in America!!

  193. Lynne says:

    It is the lightest full powered upright vac in America! Woot!…and it lies flat to get under furniture! Love you, Oreck!

  194. Cristina says:

    I learned the Oreck is only 7.7 pounds which will make it so much easier to take it up and down the stairs! Also love the swivel steering!

  195. Kellie Miller says:

    LOVE that it has a HEPA filter, we have horrible allergies in our family, so anything that helps my kids breathe better is a plus in my book! The brushes on the sides that help clean baseboards is fantastic…so much dust and dirt gets caught there! Thank you ABFOL for all your helpful tips!

  196. April says:

    Love the “The lightest, full-powered Oreck upright vacuum cleaner ever: Weighs 7.7 lbs.” I’m so over hauling my heavy vacuum up and down the stairs. I’d be grateful to not have to do that any more.

  197. Michele says:

    New Feature: Side brushes make cleaning up against baseboards and edges easy. Additionally, Magnesium RS is so powerful it feels self-propelled.

  198. Tara says:

    I love that the Oreck Magnesium self-adjust to whatever flooring you use it on. I currently own a Dyson but I have to manually adjust and it gets annoying. I also loved hearing your opinion about how the Oreck compares to the Dyson. I would be so thrilled if I won this!

  199. Katie says:

    Side brushes for base boards! This is fantastic, no more pulling out the accessories!

  200. Melissa says:

    I love that the Oreck comes with HEPA filter bags. This is absolutely necessary at my house where we track in a lot of dust and animal hair and dander is a constant.

  201. Jana Glass says:

    It’s less than 8 lbs! How awesome for going upstairs and downstairs to the basement. And easy on the back too!

  202. Jonda says:

    It has incredible suction power . It’s the lightest, full-powered, swivel-steering upright vacuum cleaner in America. The large, high-performance wheels give Magnesium RS the agility it needs for every surface, from hardwood and tile to plush. It’s so lightweight that carrying it upstairs is a cinch and so powerful it feels self-propelled.

  203. Heidi says:

    It lays flat under furniture. Love that!

  204. Saniseal® system automatically seals shut, locking the dirt in the disposable filter bag. I really like this as I have wanted an Orek for years and I have very bad allergies that go into migraines………. Love you Orek……..DebbieJo

  205. Christy says:

    It uses bags with HEPPA filters!

  206. Alisha says:

    My favorite things I learned: made in the USA, is lightweight (which is perfect for my tendinitis), and automatically adjusts to the floor. This sounds like a dream machine to me!

  207. Olga-Alicia Lopez says:

    It’s amazing that something so light (7.7 lbs.) can have so much power (102 mph airflow)! This is awesome to be able to carry up and down the stairs to clean up after 5 cats and one shi tzu in the house.

  208. Sandra Beck says:

    Amazed at the weight and way it actually cleans..Yearning for one…
    Easy on the back and joints…WOW..Never have I seen a cleaner
    more efficient and lightweight…including a hand-held with strap.
    Thanks for the contest…

  209. Jillian says:

    I love that it is so lightweight and has a 20 foot cord! 🙂

  210. Angela Allen says:

    This vacuum lies down and still cleans. It moves from hardwood to carpet without having to switch anything…love that!

  211. Jodi Owens says:

    Learned from oreck.com that it has more features then the original Magnesium! Super easy to carry u stairs!! Woohoo!!

  212. Kara says:

    I learned that the direct suction and roller brush rotate at over 7,000 revolutions per minute! This looks like an awesome vacuum! Moving out of my parents house I would have a great start to a clean home of my own! 🙂

  213. Karli G says:

    Magnesium RS is the lightest, full-powered, swivel-steering upright vacuum cleaner in America! I’d love to win one!

  214. Alisha says:

    Thought I posted already, but couldn’t find it.

    My favorite things about the Oreck Magnesium: it is made in the USA, lightweight (which is perfect for my tendinitis), and it automatically adjusts to different floors. Sounds like a dream machine!

  215. EB says:

    I love that it has brushes on the side to clean around baseboards.

  216. Nancy Carr says:

    This is a quality vacuum and it is light weight which I need.

  217. Melissa Huenergardt says:

    I learned from the website that as air passes through the HEPA inner bag, it captures at least 99.97% of particles. That is AMAZING!! It picks up pollen, house dust, smoke, animal dander and mold spores. We are not a smoking family, but everything else on that list really excites me. My son (6), daughter (4) and husband have really bad allergies. We live in Texas where allergy season seems to be 10 months out of the year. This fabulous creature would be my new best friend.

  218. JenZ says:

    I love that it’s only 7.7 pounds!

  219. Jennee H says:

    I didn’t know that Orecks had horsehair edge brushes!

  220. Naomi M. says:

    I need a new vacuum and this one looks amazing! I love that it has side brushes! I hate when you need to do a quick vacuum and then there are crumbs or whatever left along the edges of the carpet. Maybe these side brushes would solve that problem! 🙂

  221. Anonymous says:

    The Oreck Magnesium RS comes with a 7-year warranty plus 5 annual tune-ups. That’s awesome!

  222. La'Verne Chin says:

    This is a wonderful vacuum cleaner. I love the fact that it automatically transitions from carpet to floor. Keeping the hardwood clean is important to me.

  223. Traci S. says:

    They’ve been in business since 1963 – really? WOW!
    I would love to win – we have 2 dogs – I would love to vacuum every day! Our current vacuum cleaner is sooooooooo heavy!!

  224. Leah Leathem says:

    The Oreck Magnesium RS comes with a 7-year warranty plus 5 annual tune-ups. That’s awesome!!

  225. Bunny says:

    It’s only 7 pounds! That’s the most important thing, because heavy vacuums absolutely KILL my back. I’m always stealing my mom’s old school Oreck vac, and that sucker is HEAVY.

  226. Stephanie salazar says:

    The Oreck is amazing my parents and grandmothers had/ have it!! It works amazing for hardwood and laminate flooring! And of course on carpet!!

  227. Paula says:

    It is only 7.7 pounds. Yes! Thanks for the chance!

  228. Lindsay Schumaier says:

    I love that the side brushes make cleaning against the baseboards easy! That is where we gather most of the dust and fuzz.

  229. Angie says:

    I learned that the Oreck will lay almost flat to clean under furniture. I love this feature!

  230. Kara says:

    I learned that the direct suction and roller brush rotate at over 7,000 revolutions per minute! This looks like an awesome vacuum! Moving out of my parents house I would have a great start to a clean home of my own!

  232. Jamie says:

    I learned that it is able to lay almost completly flat to fit under furniture easier.

  233. Erika says:

    I love that the large, high performance wheels give it the agility it needs for every surface without needing any manual adjustments.

  234. Kristin Boyd says:

    I’m a follower!

  235. Sarah says:

    “Built to last with a 7-year warranty** plus 5 annual tune-ups.”

    VERY COOL!

  236. Kim Phillips says:

    Not only does the Magnesium RS only weigh 7.7 pounds, its cord is 30 ft long! I can do most of the main floor of my house without having to unplug and plug over and over again!

  237. Kim says:

    Most of what I read on the Oreck website I already knew from reading your review! But when I read some of the reviews someone mentioned that they had a hand knotted rug and the vacuum picked up the dirt without destroying the carpet, plus your comment about it moving easily through your plush carpet. This is really helpful information for me, I am a flooring salesperson and people are buying softer and plusher carpet than ever, and finding a vacuum that does it’s job and is easy to use can be difficult!

  238. Made in the USA! Thank you for the review.

  239. Miriam says:

    I saw the option for side bristles to help clean baseboards. That is awesome! I would love that!

  240. Julie B. says:

    WOW!!! Only 7 pounds. My current vacuum is a monster. I love the lightweight.

  241. Sheri says:

    I absolutely love Orek! This new vacuum is AWESOME! The fact that it goes under the furniture is FANTASTIC and that it is only 7.7lbs is the BEST!

  242. Krystn says:

    I learned that the Magnesium has side brushes. How convenient for those spots right up against the wall. Awesome!

  243. M says:

    I learned it weighs less than my son!

  244. Kristin says:

    Side brushes! Awesome.

  245. Celeste says:

    It cost $600 and “At 7.7 pounds*, Magnesium RS is the lightest, full-powered, swivel-steering upright vacuum cleaner in America. “

  246. Naomi Milbrett says:

    I love that it goes almost flat to fit under the bed!

  247. Jen says:

    Side brushes to clean edges! Great idea! I need this vacuum!

  248. Linda says:

    I love that it is able to pick up 99.97% of air particles such as pollen, mold spores, dust, smoke and animal dander! Also, being able to use it on all floor types is a nice bonus!

  249. Carol says:

    I love the little side brushes for baseboards and edges. I NEED this vacuum!

  250. Diane says:

    I learned that it lays flat to go under furniture & swivels. That would be awesome!

  251. Carmen says:

    It so powerful it feels self-propelled

  252. Inger says:

    I learned that this is the lightest weight upright vaccuum by oreck — great product, and easy to use for me *and* my grandmother!

  253. Tracy Ann says:

    It’s flat so you can clean under furniture. BRILLIANT!!!

  254. Susan says:

    The Oreck Magnesium automatically adjust to the different floors. Go from carpet to hardwood without changing a thing. The vacuum automatically does it for you.

  255. Leisa says:

    I too as a long standing dyson owner and fan, love my animal and that it’s held up 6 years now but….. It’s so large it won’t lie flat under furniture including the bed and after reading about the oreck I was pleasantly surprised to learn how light weight and furniture friendly it is including laying flat under the beds! This would help me reach those place that I’ve not been able to vacuum

  256. Teri Martinez says:

    I learned it’s light weight, only 7.7 lbs. Which I think is perfect.

  257. Carly says:

    Made in the USA!!!

  258. Tiffany says:

    IT LAYS FLAT!! There are a million great things about this vacuum, but that is my favorite. I use a canister to get under and around the furniture, but dragging the canister around behind me and keeping the long hose clean are definitely negatives. This would fix that!

  259. You had me until facebook; I don’t do fb, twitter, etc.

  260. Jennifer Madigan says:

    I love that it’s only 7.7 lbs. That is awesome and light enough for my little ones to learn to properly vacuum.

  261. Jennifer Horgan says:

    The Oreck is only 7.7 lbs!! I need a new vacuum and one I can lug up and down my stairs would be fantastic!! I love to vacuum (weird) and a nice, light vacuum would make me happy.

  262. Alison says:

    That is maneuvers easily under furniture, which is awesome!

  263. Kimberly says:

    I love the side brushes for cleaing up against the baseboards and the wireless quickswitch. Sounds like a great vacuum!!

  264. Susan says:

    Oreck’s Magnesium has side brushes to get close to the walls. Great feature. I hope I win. I am past ready to retire Mr. Hoover.

  265. Heather says:

    It lays flat and has swivel steerinh.

  266. Emily H says:

    I really like the side brushes. No more pulling out the attachments to get things that are right up against the baseboards!

  267. Keena says:

    The oreck is the lightest, full-powered, swivel-steering upright vacuum in America. I need one!

  268. Cynthia Toone Riley says:

    I learned that it is so light weight…just 7.7 pounds….. I can do my stairs..I have three staircases….much easier!

  269. Christine Ortman says:

    With its unique SlimSwivel™ Design, the Magnesium RS is limber enough to easily maneuver around furniture and other obstacles. It lies virtually flat to get under beds, too!

  270. Rebecca says:

    I love that the wireless two-speed QuickSwitch® in the handle enables you to select the right power levels and move smoothly across all floor types.

  271. Jennifer says:

    I learned, from Oreck.com, that the Magnesium is also good for hardwood floors. That is a super bonus for me because of all the pet hair! I also learned that you can get a handheld vacuum with the attachments which is great because of all the pet hair. I would LOVE to have an ORECK:)

  272. Alicia Slubowski says:

    I love that it has the hepa filter (we have a house of allergies) and the light weight. I already use an oreck and would love an upgrade!!

  273. Sandy H. says:

    The neatest thing is that it can be used on different surfaces and doesn’t weigh much.

  274. Joy A. says:

    I’ve tried so many different vacuum cleaners and can’t seem to get it right. I’ve never tried the Oreck but after reading about the features on the Magnesium I’m going to have to check into it further. Love the fact that the settings adjust on their own and it’s lighweight. I sure didn’t know Oreck is made in the USA. Definitely a plus!

  275. Nicole Avery says:

    I have a Dyson and had it for over 8 years. It works good but it tends to get clogged in the filter and canister. It is a pain to clean it out every week. With a bag it will be easier to remove and discard the bag. I learned that as air passes through the Oreck Magnesium HEPA inner bag, it captures at least 99.97% of particles at .3 microns from that air, which includes the following: pollen, house dust, smoke, animal dander and mold spores. That is awesome. Now I know that my family will be breathing cleaner air.

  276. I love the weight and versatility of the Oreck Magnesium!!!! I have always wanted an Oreck for many years but can’t cough up the price for one. My carpet cleaning brother would love if I had a better vacuum, especially before he comes to do carpets in April 😀

  277. Olga says:

    I Love, love LOVE that Oreck is made in the USA!!!

  278. Alex says:

    I learned that it is lightweight and easy to carry up and down stairs.. Love that!

  279. Dayna Johnson says:

    I love how light it is. Would be great for lugging up and down stairs.

  280. Kristen Johnson says:

    It is 7.7 lbs. It is the perfect vacuum for my house full of wood floors!

  281. Bailey says:

    I learned that it goes up to baseboards nicely and has a 7 year warranty!

  282. Mary M-B says:

    I learned that it has a low-profile design, which means it would be way easier to vacuum under and around my furniture!

  283. Melissa K. says:

    I found out that the setting buttons are on the handle – super easy and convenient.

  284. Kayla W says:

    The side brushes make cleaning against baseboards and edges easy. Just what I need! Not to mention it is only 7.7lbs!

  285. I didn’t know that magnesium is stronger than many types of steel. That’s pretty great considering it’s so lightweight!

  286. Sara says:

    I love the fact that it can be used on multi surfaces….We have three different types of flooring so this would be an awesome addition to our house

  287. Anonymous says:

    I learned that it’s only 7.7 lbs! Being pregnant and having just moved into a split-level house, it would be a blessing to have a vacuum so much lighter than my current one!

    I can’t remember when I’ve wanted to win anything so bad!!

    I have a Dyson and have never been ‘in love’ with it, unlike so many other people. I just don’t feel like it cleans as well as they say it does. When I visited my Mom in CA a few years ago, she had me try her Oreck (just base model, I believe) and I immediately fell in love with it. It was SUPER light and laid flat. Oreck – 2 Dyson – 0.

  295. Amy says:

    The magnesium frame is stronger than many types of steel! Pick me, pick me!!!

  296. Liz says:

    Oh, this would be so perfect for me! However, I refuse to use my facebook to advertise for anyone, so I won’t be entering. I was so excited for about 2 minutes.

  297. Kelsie says:

    I love that this vac has headlights. Extra bonuses are that it comes with a 7 year warranty and 5 annual “tune-ups”

  298. Nicole says:

    I would love to see the horsehair edge brushes in action. I always have issues getting my baseboards squeaky clean!!

  299. Leslie R. says:

    I’m intrigued that it works so effectively for as lightweight as it is (7.7 lbs) and has a HEPA filtration system (this allergy-ridden family would benefit from that!). With the swivel steering and lay-flat feature, I think it sounds awesome!

  300. Wendi says:

    I learned that it is only 7.7lbs! We have carpeted stairs and 2 levels and it would make this a much lighter job!

  301. Kristia says:

    I like the fact that the Magnesium can be used on all floor types.

  302. Rebecca Kennedy says:

    I like the fact that there are no manual adjustments when you switch between different surfaces!

  303. Asa says:

    I learned that the vacuum will adjust to floors automatically. I love that! I also love that it’s only 7.7 pounds; no more weight lifting to clean the floors!

  304. april goodwin says:

    This Oreck sounds like a dream! I currently have a Dyson and with kids, and a BIG dog, I am vacuuming everyday. I also have issues with my joints and having a lighter vacuum would really make this chore much easier! I love that the Oreck captures 99.97% of the allergens as well (my fact that I learned), because I also have bad allergies too! Gosh, this sounds like my dream vacuum!!!

  305. Kelli Kegley says:

    That it can be used on any surface and is only 7.7 lbs!!!

  306. Stephanie says:

    I love that the vacuum easily moves over high pile carpet and switches automatically to wood and tile. Thanks for the opportunity!

  307. Jodi says:

    I love the low profile, furniture friendly design and the swivel steering. I own an Oreck but an older model. I didn’t think they could improve their vacuums but boy am I surprised.

    It is only 7.7 pounds. I used to have an Oreck years ago. I was so sad when it died.

  309. jacki says:

    Made in the usa!!! Yeah

  310. Hannah K says:

    I love that it switches floor types so effortlessly! We have mostly hardwood, but several areas of different runs and carpeting!

  311. Ashley N says:

    I have had my heart set on an Oreck for years! I love the idea of the bags, the separate canister and how light they are… This new Magnesium is the lightest, and lays completely flat for going under furniture! What a fantastic give away, one lucky person is going to be thrilled!!! Good luck everyone!

  312. Tara M says:

    I LOVE that it can go over multiple surface types so easily! It would definitely make my cleaning routine easier and QUICKER (which is always a plus).

  313. LuAnn Ososki says:

    I learned that it is low profile and I will finally be able to get under my beds easily!!

  314. Christine Gossard says:

    I cannot believe it is only 7.7 pounds! We have stairs and that would be unbelieveably handy when I need to vacuum upstairs. Which vacuum day is Thursday. 🙂

  315. Cami says:

    Oooh, I like the Quickswitch feature. I have hard floors, shag and low pile carpets and this would make cleaning much easier.

  316. Kristin says:

    I learned that it only weighs 7.7 pounds that is awesome when you have lug it upstairs. Hope I win! 🙂

  317. Amanda says:

    It has a 30 foot power cord! I so need this!

  318. Amy J says:

    It can basically lay flat to fit under beds – I need that!

  319. Marijka Bosma says:

    It easily goes from floor to floor of different materials. Lies flat to go under furniture, and is super light weight.

  320. Kim says:

    I love that it’s only 7.7 pounds and compact. Much easier than hauling around our canister vac!

  321. Ann says:

    Oh so nice and light weight! 7.7 pounds. I love the fact that it can virtually lie flat to vacuum under furniture.

  322. April says:

    I like how it goes from hardwood floors to carpet without having to adjust the settings! That would be very helpful in cleaning my house

  323. Anny Hartley says:

    I love that it catches so much with the HEPA inner bag because we love our pets but we don’t love all the hair! As air passes through the HEPA inner bag, it captures at least 99.97% of particles at .3 microns from that air, which includes the following: pollen, house dust, smoke, animal dander and mold spores. Great for pet lovers!

  324. Allison says:

    I love that this vacuum can lie almost completely flat to vacuum in those hard to reach places

  325. Linda says:

    I learned that it weighs only 7.7 lbs (less than my newborn baby!) and that it lies flat, which I love! And it swivels! I want it!

  326. Carolyn McHugh says:

    I love that its only 7.7 pounds! My kids are in charge of cleaning while I am at work so this would be perfect for them!

  327. Jamie says:

    It has side-brushes that help clean baseboards! Awesome!

  328. Ana Hopkins says:

    The side brushes make cleaning up against baseboards and edges easy. That would be so awesome for our house!

  329. Barbara Roth says:

    I learned that it is only 7.7 lbs. and that would come in handy for me since my grip in my hands isn’t what it used to be. There are batteries in the handle that seem easy to change. It has swivel steering and an easy to change bag!

  330. Sonya Morris says:

    It has two-speed QuickSwitch® in the handle enables you to select the right power levels and move smoothly across all floor types.

  331. Irene says:

    I love everything about it!!! Most especially that they have 7 years warranty, that speaks for their product. Standing up to their creation, and the maintenance, 5 annual tune ups, that’s really fantastic. Not only that it looks really powerful, useful, and realistic on its features, but also very versatile! what more can you ask for!

  332. Carrie says:

    I love that it has a 20 foot power cord and 5 cleaning tools. I love having a long cord so that I don’t have to keep unplugging it! And the cleaning tools would be great for my stairway. Thank you for the giveaway!!

  333. Karen says:

    Nothing makes life easier than having good tools. This vacuum sounds great and would make vacuuming much less of a chore!

  334. sarah says:

    WOW-7.7 pounds is way lighter than my dyson!! Would love to win 🙂 Thanks!

  335. Jenny L. says:

    I learned that it has new side brushes to easily clean along baseboards and walls!
    I need to win, I am going through a separation and need a new vacuum cleaner!

  336. Andria Kvitek says:

    Love that I can use on all my different floors AND its so lightweight.

  337. Shannon says:

    The high performance wheels give it agility on every surface!

  338. Judy says:

    Made in the USA, lays flat, weighs 7.7 lbs, swivel steering, hand held model, new side brushes. What’s not to love.

  339. kelli says:

    Great for pet lovers because of the Hepa filter!

  340. Daiane says:

    I learned that the Oreck Magnesium RS Vacuum is wireless, light, full-powered and can be used in any surface automatically. Super cool!

  341. Kim K. says:

    The vacuum cleaner is only 7.7 pounds!!

  342. Ginelle says:

    I love how light it is.

  343. Desiree Kano says:

    Made in the USA & only 7.7 pounds-

  344. monica says:

    i learned that the oreck is a lot lighter than my dyson and works on different surfaces, that is awesome!!!

  345. Staci says:

    What I learned and I like is how far it lays down so that it goes under furniture easier!!! Great feature, plus many more!!

  346. Ashton says:

    I think the 20 ft cord is pretty awesome 🙂

  347. Sarah says:

    It is the lightest, full-powered, swivel-steering upright vacuum!! That sounds great when you have a two level house!

  348. Rachael says:

    I have an OLD Oreck that is finally on its last leg. I have LOVED it. The Magnesium RS has so many great features but my favorite is how lightweight it is, especially with my history of back problems!

  349. Kathleen R says:

    I learned that this model has a HEPA filter that catches 99.97% of particles at .3 microns!! Awesome for pet lovers and folks with allergies! Thanks for the great giveaway!

  350. Sharon Gilbert says:

    It is a gorgeous color blue and only weighs 7.7 lbs

  351. Jennifer says:

    Well, I am moving in a month or so and I need a vacuum! I love the Oreck Magnesium after reading your post. I went to oreck.com and found that this vacuum is light, powerful, almost self propelled and gentle on tile and hardwood. As an added bonus, it lays flat! What better can you ask for! Thanks so much! 🙂

  352. Jessica says:

    I love how lightwieght it is! That is so nice! I never win, but a girl can keep hoping!!!

  353. Nicole Hankosky says:

    I learned that the vacuum lays flat to go under the furniture! Excellent feature!

  354. Dawn says:

    Only 7.7 pounds! That is awesome. I really would like to win and have my home be clean, cleaner, cleanest!

  357. laura says:

    I didnt know that you could switch between floor types without changing anything manually!

  358. Samantha says:

    I like the idea of the swivel steering. My current vac is not easy to steer at all. The profile looks nice too.

  359. Kaila says:

    It has a SlimSwivel Design and furniture-friendly, low-profile physique it’s an effortless way to maneuver around any obstacle and clean every floor in your home—upstairs and downstairs.

  360. Jessica says:

    Wow it’s light! A bit over 7lbs…it is half of what my cat weighs!

  361. Leigh Ishee says:

    I love that it weighs only 7.7 lbs!

  362. Dana says:

    Happy to find that it is very light at 7.7 lbs, which makes it easy to carry up and down the stairs. I also like the new side brushes feature.

  363. Briana says:

    Love the side brushes for the baseboards!!!

  364. Meredith says:

    Full power & horse hair brushes? Sign me up!

  365. Julie says:

    I.WANT.THIS!!

  366. Nichole says:

    I love that it lays flat.

  367. Marilou S. says:

    I love the fact that the vacuum is so strong and yet so light. I am tired of vacuums that do not clean! Would love to try this one out as I need to buy some for my kids as they leave the house for places of their own!

  368. Brittany says:

    I learned that its only 7.7 lbs! I’m moving into a 2 story home and this would be amazing! I have no idea how I’m going to get my monstrous vacuum up the stairs, let alone clean them!

  369. Erika says:

    Just learned that this vacuum is very durable because it’s made of a magnesium frame while still weighing only 7.7 lbs…LOVE it!

  370. deborah345 says:

    Lightweight and easy to carry for up and down stairs is a real plus. Actually I love all the features this vac has, floor to carpet and back again – whoo hooo!

  371. Sonya says:

    It’s lightweight which means I can use it if I can’t get my husband to vacuum!

  372. Anonymous says:

    This vacuume is a dream. I love that it’s light weight and very powerful. The wireless switch in the handle will be very convenient.

  373. Allyssa l. says:

    It has amazing side brushes that clean base boards as you go. Also the roller brush goes 7000 revolutions per minute! Wow! Please pick me! I would love this almighty power of clean!

    Thank you!

  374. Jade Curtice says:

    Love that it’s only 7.7 lbs! That is less than half of my 9 month old. Yes!

  375. Susan says:

    ORECK IS #1
    I found that the Magnesium has a low profile to fit under furniture and it has little side brushes that will “sweep” along the edge of walls and such
    Thanks for this offer

  376. I love the new feature of the side brush. This would be so helpful in cleaning the baseboards! Love that it only weights 7.7 lbs, too.

  377. Anonymous says:

    The slimswivel effortless way to maneuver around any obstacle and clean every floor in your home. I like that it has swivel in it lol because it sounds like it will be very easy to move around floors and furniture!

  378. Amanda Paige says:

    The slimswiveis an easy way to maneuver around any obstacle and clean every floor in your home

  379. Nicole says:

    I love that it is made in the USA. I also like that it is light weight.

  380. Janet says:

    Oreck magnesium has an inner Hepa filter that captures 99.97% of particles in the air, including pollens and molds. My son just went thru allergy testing and having just received a crash course on airborne allergens, this sounds like a great vacuum for the allergy sufferer!

  381. Dawn says:

    Love that the Oreck lies flat to fit under furniture and is soooo light!!!

  382. Danielle Monreal says:

    The Oreck Magnesium RS is a full-powered lightweight vacuum! That’s awesome bc all of the lightweight vacuums I’ve tried (and there have been several) have performed terribly with mediocre sucking power that doesn’t last! And 7.7 lbs in weight… that’s a newborn baby!

  383. Breanna says:

    I love that its made in the united states, it gives jobs to many people and The large, high-performance wheels give Magnesium RS the agility it needs for every surface, that is always a plus!

  384. I did not know that Oreck made a hand held. I could sure us that on my stairs and sofa….all the dog hair drives me bonkers!!

  385. Katrina Hamilton says:

    The long 30 ft. cord is a winner! This vacuum sounds wonderful all the way around. 🙂

  386. Angela Kelly says:

    If you didn’t personally have a dyson, I would not be so intrigued. I do have a dyson that I love dearly. But a vacuum with side brushes? Now that’s something I would like to see. I have been loving your blog so much!

  387. Anonymous says:

    Weighs 7.7lb which is about the weight of a human head!

  388. Janna says:

    Weighs just 7.7lb, about the weight of a human head!

  389. Sue S. says:

    The vacuum will lie almost completely flat to go under furniture.

  390. Darla Boggs says:

    After reading the website, I learned that one of the new features of the Oreck Magnesium RS are the side brushes that help clean the baseboards. I think this is a wonderful feature as I tend to bang into my baseboards with my current vacum when trying to get as close to the baseboards as I can!

  391. Kellie Anne says:

    As air passes through the HEPA inner bag, it captures at least 99.97% of particles at .3 microns from that air, which includes the following: pollen, house dust, smoke, animal dander and mold spores. Great for pet lovers!

    We are getting married in October and we are in desperate need of a vacuum before we move in… We could definitely not afford such an excellent vacuum like this! My fingers are crossed…

  392. Nicole says:

    I love that it cleans the baseboards and works on all types of flooring AND furniture!

  393. Billie says:

    The Oreck Magnesium RS is $599.99 – what a huge prize to win – and it only weighs 7.7 lbs.

  394. The larger wheels allow for an easy transition from carpet to hard floors. That is a HUGE deal in my house! Manual adjustments are killing me!

  395. Rebecca Hayes says:

    This looks like an amazing vacuum. I like the cannister shape but with a bag, and it appears to be so agile and light weight. My vacuum is an old Sanitaire and we are hoping it will last a bit longer. I would love to win this though 🙂

  396. Amanda M says:

    Living in a split level home and with an asthmatic toddler, I’m looking for a vac such as this. This vac, considering its features, will be a great asset when we’re able to move from carpet to hardwood floors with rugs. Even if we don’t win this, I will have it on my wishlist!

  397. I love that it is so light which would make vacuumimg stairs so much easier. I also love that it can lie flat to be stored and would fit under furniture!! And it swivels, wow!!:)

  398. Elisa Leon says:

    That the magnesium is furtinur freindly due to its low profile to manuver around furniture.

  399. Karlene says:

    lightest, full-powered, swivel-steering

  400. Heather Todd says:

    I have carpet and hardwoods in my home so I love that it will work on both floor types without having to change the setting or connecting a special attachment….and since it’s wireless, its even easier to move from room to room and even up the stairs!

  401. Marci says:

    I really like that it can easily do carpet and hardwood and even area rugs.

  402. Denise says:

    Durable: Magnesium frame is stronger than many types of steel!!! WOW!

  403. Nydia Figueroa says:

    The side brushes to clean next to the baseboards are GENIUS!!!

  404. Jade Snyder says:

    I learned from the Oreck website that it has a swivel steering system, I also learned that my almost 2 year old could probably vacuum for me it is so light. =) As well as they bother to define it as an ‘upright’ vacuum, I just thought that they were all just referred to as a ‘vacuum’ plain and simple. It seems I have a bit to learn. This would be awesome, as soon as I am done with your Cleaning 101 I was planning on deep cleaning my carpets. =) (Cheap apartment carpet and a toddler do not seem to mix well…)

  405. Summer Jackman says:

    This vacuum is the lightest, full-powered, swivel-steering upright vacuum cleaner in America

  406. Emily says:

    It’s wireless!

  407. Susan B says:

    I love the side brushes. With having pets and kids and well a husband the edges tend to get more gunk and I would think the side brushes would help with that.

  408. Lynn says:

    Lightest upright vacuum in America. Sounds good to me!

  409. Kelley says:

    I love the color of this vac and that it is 7.7 pounds!

  410. Esther says:

    It works on tile, hardwood, plush and frieze carpet! Love that!

  411. Monica says:

    I could use this Oreck Magnesium on all my floors AND my heirloom Oriental! Fantastic!

  412. Jenni Boyles says:

    Super excited to see such a lite vacuum with such great reviews! Having carpeted stairs is sometimes a nitemare to keep clean and this would be great for that at only 7.7 pounds! Plus a long cord, wow!!

  413. Kristen says:

    Love the side brushes and the fact that it’s so easy to move around all floor surfaces. I hate having to vacuum the carpet and then turn around and go over the hardwoods after changing the attachments out. This seems way easier and more efficient!

  414. Stefanie Gladden (Ann Lyfe) says:

    I love that the large, high-performance wheels give Magnesium RS the agility it needs for every surface, from hardwood and tile to plush and frieze carpet without stopping for manual adjustments.

  415. Kelly says:

    I learned that the Oreck Magnesium is lightweight, only 7.7lbs and would be easy to use.

  416. Tracey says:

    I learned that I’d LOVE to have this vacuum system!! Everything about it is made for ease and efficiency. Lightweight, maneuverable, and effective. I love that the vacuum bags are self-sealing so none of the dirt and dust can escape.
    Thank you for telling us about the Oreck Magnesium and giving us the chance to win it!! 🙂

  417. Chalya Dugar says:

    I absolutely love this Oreck Magnesium vacuum! I could go between carpet to tile to wood with very little effort. And at being only 7.7 lbs with 7000 revolutions per minute with soft sides to avoid scratching surfaces plus a 7 year limted warrenty…this vacuum is a BEAST! I could definitely make use of this vacuum!

  418. Anonymous says:

    What Mom wouldn’t love this!! I’m excited about the The wireless two-speed QuickSwitch! This would def be a time saver when cleaning my house!!

  419. Laura anderson says:

    What Mom wouldn’t love this..The wireless two-speed QuickSwitch would be awesome to have.

  420. Dan says:

    The SlimSwivel design let’s you bend the vacuum down completely flat to get under furniture….sweet, dude!

  421. Lauren K says:

    The large wheels make it easy to go from plush carpet to hard floor, back to carpet! I love that because my last vacuum was a PAIN to go between different floor types.

  422. SarahinSC says:

    The filter is new! I own an old, OLD, Oreck and it’s finally on its last leg I think. THIS Oreck would be AWESOME!

  423. Cristina says:

    This Oreck has the new SlimSwivel Design to maneuver around anything in your home! I love that it only weighs 7.7 pounds!

  424. Amy McClatchy says:

    It lies flat to get under the beds where my pets like to sleep and shed!

  425. Emily Irish says:

    I would love to know if the swivel steering is as nice as the Dyson’s.

  426. Lisa Frank says:

    I learned that the side brushes can help keep the baseboards clean – no more hands & knees!

  427. Liz H says:

    I love that it is only 7.7 pounds. I usually get a blister vacuuming with my Shark vacuum and hence it went to the Goodwill…. I also have to carry my vacuum upstairs and back down as well as down to the basement. 7.7 pounds would be a cinch!

  428. Love the side brush! So clever!

  429. Melanie says:

    I love that it only weighs 7.7lbs!

  430. Ledine says:

    Like you mentioned in your blog entry, I have always been a Dyson lover, including thinking that the canister was the best option. Dyson leads you to believe that bags are the enemy. But from my research on Oreck’s website, it’s seems as though the HEPA filter bags are actually better for your family! I love that!

  431. Claire H. says:

    I love that it has ‘side sweepers’ to get those baseboards- I’m always just picking the dirty stuff up myself since my vacuum can’t reach it. Would love to win!

  432. LC says:

    I think everyone has pretty much hit on every spec or feature of the vacuum, but I will say I love the fact that it has a light on the front. My mom’s had one as I was growing up and I never understood why until I moved out and got my own vacuum that does not have one. That light is so helpful!!!

  433. Julie Wood says:

    It has a magnesium alloy frame. Very lightweight!

  434. Crystal K says:

    It’s only 7.7 pounds!!!

  435. Callie Bowers says:

    I learned that it is only 7.7lbs. This would be perfect for my split level home – easy to carry up and down the stairs! Love that!

  436. Bethany says:

    I love that it’s so lightweight and that it has a 7-year warranty!! Thank you for the chance to win!

  437. Rachel says:

    I am about to move into my first house, and I would absolutely die for this vacuum cleaner!

  438. jessica says:

    I learned that it works on hardwood floors too. That is awesome i can just go from my kitchen to the carpet in my living room.

  439. Shannan says:

    This vaccum weighs 7.7 lbs! WOW! My first born weighed more! 🙂

  440. Julie B. says:

    Under 8 lbs! That would be lightweight enough for the kids to use *wink!*

  441. jill whalen says:

    I love that the Oreck Magnesium is light weight at just under 8 lbs. How awesome that it switches speeds automatically when changing surfaces!! Would be so great in my home since I have hardwood, linoleum, tile and carpeting throughout. Great giveaway! Thank you!!

  442. Meaghan Voigt says:

    I love that it flattens so you can vacuum under furniture!! 🙂

  443. Stacy Lee says:

    Love the side brush and how it switches easily between floor types. I’m also loving how light weight it is since I have back problems. Huge plus for me!

  444. Lynne says:

    The air passes through a HEPA inner bag that captures at least 99.97% of particles at .3 microns from that air, which includes the following: pollen, house dust, smoke, animal dander and mold spores.

  445. Sara Wilson says:

    The Oreck is so powerful it feels self propelled. That’s awesome!

  446. Christine L says:

    The side brushes to get next to the walls excites me!

  447. Jamie Sprouse says:

    You have me very interested in this Oreck Vacuum. I currently have the Dyson DC33 and I absolutely love it, but with all the rave about the Oreck I am starting to second guess my Dyson! 🙂

  448. Karen A says:

    Love that it is wireless and light weight! And it is pretty too. My current vacuum is old and ugly and heavy. Everytime I vacuum if have to the the outlet dance, moving it around the house, unplugging things, so that I can plug in the vacuum. So annoying.

  449. Kara says:

    It’s got incredible suction like the original but so light, coming in at 7.7 lbs! Thanks for the chance at this fantastic giveaway!

  450. Carrie C. says:

    I love the idea of 7.7 lbs. I have a horrible back and this would make life a whole lot easier!

  451. Jean Odom says:

    I love that it has side brushes that make cleaning up against baseboards and edges easy.

  452. Karla D says:

    I love that it automatically adjusts to your floor height because I use my vacuum pretty much everywhere and I tend to forget which setting is which.

  453. Barbie says:

    Annual cleaning/maintenance of the Oreck is the BOMB! 🙂

  454. Anonymous says:

    I learned that the Oreck only weighs 7.7 lbs. This sounds like a great vacuum! I have both carpet and laminate in my house and having to manually change the settings on my current vacuum is a pain. I would love to win this vacuum.

  455. Lisa T says:

    I learned that the Oreck only weighs 7.7 lbs and that you don’t have to change any settings when going from hard surface flooring to carpet. This looks like a great vacuum! I have laminate and carpet in my house and having to change settings is a real pain. I would love to win this vacuum! Thanks for the chance!

  456. jennifer says:

    i love that it only weighs 7.7 lbs. that’s awesome!

  457. Kathryn B says:

    The Oreck can be used on hardwoods!! Woo hoo!!

  458. Chris M says:

    I love that it has a low profile so you can get under the furniture easily. I can’t believe it is only 7.7 lbs. It might be fun to vaccum now!

  459. Elizabeth says:

    Love that it is made in USA! Want to try it.

  460. Jill says:

    The side brushes look amazing! They make it easy to get in against the baseboards and edges – a must for dog owners.

  461. Desiree says:

    I am in need of a new vacuum. My Kenmore is old and very heavy, plus it’s making funny noises. I have back issues so lightweight is ideal for me. My family love the Oreck and have used it for years. I want to get on board with Oreck too. I like how the Magnesium Vacuum has Swivel-Steering features.

  462. Mandie says:

    I really like how lightweight it is~ 7.7 lbs is much less than my current vacuum!

  463. Alexa says:

    I learned from the website that there is a 7 year warranty on the vacuum and Oreck will even do 5 free tune ups. Which is great considering not everyone thinks about tuning up their vacuum. The easy power buttons look really convenient as well.

  464. Crystal B says:

    I love that it goes from hard surface to carpet. But that is actually does…

  465. Christina says:

    The Oreck has side brushes for cleaning up against baseboards and for getting into to corners and edges.

    This is a fantastic giveaway! *crosses fingers*

  466. Julie says:

    I love that it has side bristles that help cleaning up against baseboards!!! Love this idea! I love that it can be used on ALL floors and it changes automatically so you don’t have to do anything but turn it on 🙂

  467. Amy O'Quinn says:

    I love the fact that it is only 7.7 pounds! It would be very lightweight and easy to maneuver for me…and my children! 😉

  468. Nadia D says:

    The Oreck has side brushes to make cleaning up against baseboards and edges easy.

  469. Alison says:

    I need this vacuum! I’m tired of cleaning out my Dyson and feeling dirtier than the floor that I just cleaned! At Orek.com, I learned that it only weighs 7.7 lbs, which means it will be easy for me to carry up and down my strangely scary spiral stairs!

  470. Alison says:

At Orek.com, I learned that it only weighs 7.7 lbs, which means it will be easy for me to carry up and down my strangely scary spiral stairs! I love your blog and spend may too much time browsing through everything, but it’s inspirational and useful. I’m also hoping to venture into the shaklee side of cleaning next time I run out of laundry detergent!

  471. Jessica Goodman says:

    @ 7.7lbs, great warranties, great features for allergy sufferers and made in the USA…..you just cant get much better than that!

  472. Melissa Brooke says:

    I commented yesterday but not sure it went though. I figured I better comment again just to be safe. I learned and love that the Oreck only weighs 7.7 lbs and that it can go from floor to carpet without having to manually adjust the settings! 🙂

    I learned from Oreck.com that the Magnesium RS has an AMAZING HEPA filter that captures 99.97% of particles, and two particular ones caught my eye: Pollen and house dust. My husband is allergic to dustmites and I have horrible seasonal allergies. This would change our lives!!! We also have an 18-month-old who is starting to show signs of dust and pollen sensitivities. It would be wonderful to “clear the air” for the whole family!

  474. Michelle Dollinger says:

    Wow, it only weighs 7.7 pounds!

  475. Lauren says:

    I learned that it’s very light and uses swivel-steering 🙂

  476. Maxime says:

    I love that it is so light weight! 7.7 lbs – awesome!

  477. Melissa B says:

    SlimSwivel™ design gets around and under furniture obstacles. This ability excites me to no end. I struggle to lift and move my furniture to ensure that all areas are truly clean. This would eliminate that burden! Not to mention that it can go from carpet to hard floors without an adjustment that has to be made by me. It will reduce my cleaning time so that I can focus on the things that matter the most to me…..my family!

  478. Marie says:

    I love that it has a hepa filter which is so important to me because of asthma and allergies.

  479. Lisa M. says:

    It’s VERY expensive, but at 7.7 pounds*, Magnesium RS is the lightest, full-powered, swivel-steering upright vacuum cleaner in America

  480. Rachel F says:

    I like that it has a 30 ft cord! I have no problem admitting that I’m lazy, and that when I finally get around to vacuuming one of my biggest irritations is having to stop and find a new outlet to plug into. My duplex has an open floor plan in the shared rooms and a distinct lack of conveniently placed outlets, so a super long cord is definite must for me.

  481. Jen W says:

    I learned that it is Made in America. Go USA!

  482. Tiffany says:

    The suction brush rotates 7,000 times per minute.

  483. Barbara says:

    I have an Oreck at home and at work now and I would love this beautiful new one. They are marvelous and last forever.

  484. Karyn says:

    I learned that it weighs only 7.7 pounds…much lighter than my heavy Dyson! I also learned that it has a very “furniture friendly” profile and that it has a Hepa inner bag which is great for me because I have allergies to dust mites and mold! Sound like an amazing vacuum and that’s saying a lot since I brag about my vacuum. I’m seriously loving this vacuum!

  485. Lora W. says:

    I was surprised that it is a swivel vacuum. I thought that Dyson was the only company that made swivels. Very cool!

  486. Michelle says:

    Wow! A 7 year warranty and included tune-ups (3). That’s better than a car!

  487. Debra C says:

    Love that it lays flat to vacuum under beds!

  488. Erin P. says:

    It lies virtually flat to go under furniture!

  489. Dezi A says:

    I learned it is the lightest, full-powered, swivel-steering upright vacuum cleaner in America! Wow!!

  490. The handle has a wireless 2 speed switch to control the power level – that’s pretty cool. I love how light weight it is and that it can go from tile to carpet to hardwood floors without having to do anything!

  491. Michelle says:

    That it can go almost flat.

  492. fayme s says:

    Side brushes make cleaning up against baseboards and edges easy…. edges are the bane of my existence!

  493. Darla Woods says:

    Love that it has brushes on the side to clean along the baseboards and also how agile it is.

  494. Kaye Young says:

    This Oreck looks amazing. I have tennis elbow and carpel tunnel, so I love that this vacuum is only 7.7 pounds so I could vacuum without help dragging the vac around. The hepa filter is great since my two of my children and I and the dog, yes the dog have allergies. I also love that it folds so flat. What a great tool for any home!

  495. Emily Johnston says:

    Thank you for the opportunity to win this amazing vacuum cleaner! At 7.7 pounds it will certainly save my back from lugging my current beast up and down the stairs; and it will clean every floor surface in my home to boot!

  496. Heidi says:

    7.7lbs AND an awesome warranty that includes 5 annual tune-ups. My current vacuum cleaner only wishes it were that spoiled. 🙂

  497. Asa says:

    I love that its only 7 pounds! And I learned from the Oreck site that it can lay flat!?! That is awesome for under the beds and tables!! Way cool!

  498. Tambra Silva says:

    It adjust automatically to the surface you are on and has swivel steering =)

  499. susan says:

    I love that it switches from hardwood to tile to carpet. Awesome!

  500. Debra F says:

    I’m curious how well the side brushes work…baseboards are definitely a problem area in our house.

  501. Jenna says:

    I love how lightweight it is, and it swivels!

  502. Sandra says:

    7.7 pounds and the ease of switching suction from hard floors to carpet….and 7.7 pounds…WOW. Thanks for this awesome giveaway!

  510. JaAnna Mendez says:

    Love that it sounds so light. I’m not sure the weight on mine, but I’m sure it’s more than that. Maybe even my girls will have an easier time pushin’ it! And self propelled?!?

  511. Kimberly Gachnang says:

    I love that it adjusts (on its own!) to any floor type! I have wood, carpet, and vinyl flooring and get so tired of switching it! And 7.7 lbs?! Amazing!

  512. Dina says:

    It weighs only 7.7 lbs!

  513. Megan R. says:

    i can’t believe the Oreck is only 7lbs!

  514. Jeanine Bailey says:

    It’s the lightest, full-powered, swivel-steering upright vacuum cleaner in America!!!

  515. Jody Rugg says:

    I hate vacuuming the stairs but at only 7.7 pounds it won’t be so bad to do. I am in need of a good vacuum.

  516. Terry S says:

    I learned that the wireless two-speed QuickSwitch in the handle enables you to select the right power levels and move swiftly across all floor types. Also the large wheels gives it the agility it needs for every surface from hardwood to carpet without any adjustments. I have completed everything for a chance to win this great vacuum cleaner. I hope I win!

  517. Trish F says:

    Hello, I learned that At 7.7 pounds, Magnesium RS is the lightest, full-powered, swivel-steering upright vacuum cleaner in America. Sounds great! Thanks for a great giveaway!

  518. Whitney Burrows says:

    I love that it’s light-weight & the gripper on the back of the vacuum balances the weight of it out so it’s really easy to carry up & down the stairs.

  519. Heather says:

    Only 7.7 pounds!

  520. Camilla Cadwell says:

    “Life’s full of obstacles. Magnesium RS gets you around them” ~ I like that it has the “SlimSwivel™ Design” to easily maneuver around furniture and other obstacles.
    Im also a fan of the old fashion bags ~ my Dyson canister is always looking gross…. ; )

  521. Nicole says:

    My mom cleans for a living and she has always used an Oreck and she swears by it. This particular vacuum is a wonderful 7.7 lbs and with a variety of flooring in my house its ability to transfer from carpet to hardwood and to tile is a huge plus for my family!

  522. Stefanie says:

    I love that it lies flat to fit under beds and the horse hair brushes on the sides!

  523. Kimberly says:

    I love that it is only 7.7 lbs.

  524. Lori Hill says:

    I love the fact that this vacuum has a bag. I currently use a Dyson and there is so much dust left over in the canister as well as comes up in the air when I empty it. I found out recently I’m very allergic to dust so finding a vacuum that will help trap this would be wonderful.

  525. Anonymous says:

    The Oreck vacuum sounds amazing! It’s super light weighing only 7.7lbs and you do not need to manually change the height between hardwood and carpet floors. Plus, I love the fact that is has a bag. No more dirty, dusty canisters!

  526. Mieka says:

    I learned that you can swich from hardwood and tile to plush and frieze carpet without stopping to manually adjustment the vacuum.

  527. Valerie says:

    I love that it is only 7 lbs. The lightness would be great for our two story home.

  528. Kendra H says:

    The wireless QuickSwitch® in the handle lets you easily select the right power level and move smoothly across carpet, fine rugs and bare floors. Very cool!!!

  529. Jaclyn Blunier says:

    I like how light (7.7#!) it is. Having 3 levels to clean, this is a must!

    I love the Side brushes which will make cleaning up against baseboards and edges easy. Great for all the puppy dust bunnies I have at home!

  533. Laura Wood says:

    I like the “Easy Snap” cord clip, no more running my cord over while I’m vacuuming!!!

  534. Nastassia says:

    I just learned that not only is this vacuum amazing, and work on multiple floor types with only two settings, but it is also WIRELESS?! I’ve actually never heard of a wireless vacuum, and I was already sold before I knew that, so that’s even better!

  535. It’s so light! 7.7 pounds.

  536. Wendy Casuscelli says:

    Hi Toni! I am so excited to participate in this giveaway! I have 2 Labs that shed an UNBELIEVABLE amount so I am vacuuming our wall to wall carpet everyday. We have a 2 story, 3000 sq ft house so the fact that the Oreck is only 7.7 lbs is a godsend! I love that it has the hepa filter to help eliminate some of the dog dander. I am very excited about the side sweeper to get along baseboards as that is where all the dog hair ends up! LOL! Hope to hear from you soon! 😉

  537. Paola says:

    I learned that it has swivel-steering, which I assume makes it great at maneuvering.

  545. Lonette Pope says:

    Absolutely. Love. Oreck; although, time for an upgrade to the Magnesium RS (Latest); 7.7 lbs. (lightest); that swivels!!!

  546. Kristina Ardeljan says:

    I learned from Oreck’s website that the vacuum virtually lies flat! We have tall furniture that I am constantly having to move so I can sweep underneath. This vacuum would eliminate that hassle! I currently use a Dyson, which is great for my carpets but not great on my wood and tile. And it most certainly does not fit under my furniture, even the beds!

  547. Monique says:

    Offers a 30 day free trial “If you don’t love it, you don’t keep it”

    WOW! What a machine. I really like the idea that it lays flat. And……lol….it only weighs in at 7.7 lbs. Swivel too! It certainly is lighter than my hoover.I also like that it has side brushes on it.Sounds like a dream machine. I have not ever won anything, but it would be nice to dream!! Hoping to win!! Thank you for the opportunity!

  555. Shelley Jakowitsch says:

    This vacuum sounds amazing. I like that you can go from carpet to laminate floors. I can’t believe that it is so light, 7.7lbs is awesome. That would be ideal for vacuuming the stairs. Between my 3 kids and our dog, the steps are always dirty. The side brushes would be ideal to get the trapped dog hair along the baseboards and help me keep the house clean for my son’s allergies.

  556. miranda says:

    It lays flat to get under furniture, something my dyson definitely doesn’t do!

  561. April was in CT now CA says:

    I love that it has a furniture friendly low profile design which is something I’ve been wanting since my current Dyson doesn’t get under the edge of cabinets or under furniture.

  562. Melissa C. says:

    I learned that it automatically adjusts which is amazing for when I go from area rugs to hardwood and tile.

  563. Anna Studer says:

    I learned it’s lightweight, easy to change the bag, and best of all it’s made right here. It looks like a great vacuum. I love my Dyson, but I would try it!

  564. Anna Studer says:

    I learned it’s very lightweight, bag is easy to change, and best of all it’s made right here. I have had a Dyson for 10 years, but I would love to see what the Oreck could do!

  569. Emily says:

    I learned several thigns from the website but my favorite is still that its a hepa filter. I can only use hepa filtration vacs since me and my little guy have bad allergies. Looks like an amazing vac.
