oreck magnesium review and giveaway!

i would like to introduce you to the newest member of our family! our beloved new oreck vacuum cleaner and i promise you he has his work cut out for him in this family of five, almost six and a pesky cat.

right away i noticed how lightweight and powerful this vacuum was! weighing in at only eight pounds, about half the weight of your standard upright vacuum (hear that dyson?), this guy is so easy to maneuver around furniture and busy children. i wondered how i would make due with out any tool attachments but as it turns out, the magnesium's light weight, plus extra long cord and slimmer design, i had no problem lifting him up on my couch and vacuuming it like it was another part of the carpet! same with my numerous stairs to tackle, the magnesium fit perfectly on the width of my stairs and i was able to lift it up easily to each one giving them the best vacuuming of their existence!

believe the rumors you hear! you turn on the oreck magnesium and let go, he will take off and vacuum your living room on his own, ok maybe not, but with it's self propelling power, gliding him across any of your floors is that much easier! it is no wonder with it's 102 mph of air flow!

check out that amazing carpet pattern! my husbands favorite part, ha!

the oreck magnesium features two power options - high for your normal everyday carpet, and my favorite, the low, perfect for my beloved floral rug that goes under our couch and requires a gentler touch. i thought i would not love the fact it wasn't a bag less vacuum, but i in fact had the opposite reaction - i could tell right away the difference and with the help of its trusty hepa filtered bag my allergies are getting the extra support they need by having all of that pesky pollen, dust, and cat dander trapped inside and i don't even have to deal with the dust cloud that ensues when i empty my old bag less vac.

finally my personal favorite part of this bad boy - it's furniture friendly design! it's low profile fits better under the small space of my couch and folds all the way to the floor so that i can now finally reach those annoying dust bunnies under all of our beds! this pregnant lady just can't lift them up to move anymore.

over all i am so satisfied with the oreck magnesium! it took some time to get to know it after years of heavy bag less vacuums, but i think after a few weeks of time with my new oreck i am totally in love. it is easy to use, easy to store, and practically vacuums on its own. the kids even get excited about vacuuming with the new lighter "space ship" vacuum, they call it. they even fight over who's turn it is to vacuum. is it mean i usually tell them it is mine? ha!

i was given the oreck magnesium free, to review from oreck, however all opinions in this post are my own. oreck corporation provided the prize for the sweepstakes but is not the sponsor of the sweepstakes.
