Today's featured product:
Oreck XL Ultra
A little more about them:
The Oreck XL Ultra makes cleaning a breeze – the vacuum weighs just 9 lbs. and lays flat to fit under beds and furniture, yet has the suction velocity of a category 2 hurricane to eliminate dust, dander, pet hair, pollen and even dust mites in a snap. A hypo-allergenic filtration system eliminates 99.9% of all allergens as you clean, unlike other bagless vacuums, which spread dirt and dust as you empty the canister. Oreck is so confident in the quality of the Oreck XL Ultra that they offer a 10-year warranty plus 10 annual free tune-ups to ensure that your Oreck will last and last!
What they look like:
Don't you love how compact they are (each one weighs only 9 pounds!)?

One very lucky winner will receive an Oreck XL Ultra (retail value $499).

I love that it cleans bacteria... I'm a bit of a germ-a-phobe!

Hypo-Allergenic Filtration Eliminates 99.9% of all particles down to 0.3 Microns
My family has a lot of pollen allergies and this would be wonderful to vacuum them all up :)

How very cool. I love the fact that it's supposed to help fight odors, but I think what makes me want one the most is how lightweight it is.

much easier to carry

Only 9 pounds! We are wanting to have another baby and if it is a c-section like the first then I can lift this vaccuum! My hubby is not so good when it comes to household chores and I had my mother come over to clean while I was down and out (I had a bad recovery last time) so yadda yadda yadda This would be great!!!!!!!!!

We have indoor pets. It has antimicrobial agents. 'Nuff said.

Wow! We have a Kirby- great but HEAVY! I love that it is so lightweight. With wood floors throughout our house, 2 fluffy (indoor) dogs and 2 messy kids, I need something easy!

With an 11-year-old occasionally incontinent dog in the house...the odor control is KEY.
Posted by: Melissa | January 09, 2008 at 10:51 PM
Wow they have it all, warranty , check ups, and only 9 pounds. I could use a new vac.

wow! that sounds awesome.

Definitely love the odor control ... we have a black lab who is "king" of the castle!

I like that it's only 9 pounds. I have a Dyson right now so I'm used to a really heavy vacuum. I'm sure using an Oreck would feel like pushing air!

I have two young kids and a puppy! It would be wonderful to know I was getting rid of germs! As for it being only 9 pounds, that is awesome! It would be much easier to vacuum everyday then.

I've used the Oreck before and I loved all of the features - like the odor control and the light weight factor! And my current vacuum is more of a problem than a help right now so this would be great :)
Posted by: Amy | January 09, 2008 at 11:14 PM
I love that "the odor controlling inner bag and odor shield in the outer bag work to eliminate everything from pet odors to other stubborn smells."
We have a bulldog and a black lab. In addition to kids! Trust me it's needed!!!!

We have been thru two vaccums recently. Can't find one that will continue to pick up the pet hair (with 2 dogs & 3 cats),we vaccum on a daily basis. The lightness of it is also a plus with a two story home. Would love to try the ORECK, especially as a Giveaway! You see the infomercials and always wonder...
Posted by: Anna | January 09, 2008 at 11:14 PM
I love that it "resist the growth of odor"- haha!
Posted by: Olive | January 09, 2008 at 11:18 PM
Kids + anti-microbial = heaven! Yay!
Posted by: Krista | January 09, 2008 at 11:25 PM
Just 9 pounds would be great for my parents, who are in need of one.
Posted by: Marian | January 09, 2008 at 11:26 PM
I love that it's only 9lbs! :)
Posted by: Allison | January 09, 2008 at 11:26 PM
The super light weight and the bacteria fighting functions would make it ideal for my 2 floor home!
Posted by: Christy | January 09, 2008 at 11:27 PM
How can you beat a warranty like that??
Posted by: Thea @ I'm a Drama Mama | January 09, 2008 at 11:29 PM
I love the fact that it has such suction power - I really need something to get up dust and dander because I just learned this week my son is asthmatic with allergies.
