This giveaway is now closed. Thanks for stopping by. The winner is Jennifer P! CONGRATS!
We still have at least 6 more weeks of winter, but I wanted to give you a sneak peek at my next series. One of my New Year’s resolutions is to get the house clean and organized. Over the weekend I hosted a party (which I’ll tell you more about very soon!). My husband and I spent Saturday cleaning the downstairs area for the party and it looks fantastic. Now if I can get motivated to finish the upstairs…
Amanda, Tanya, and I have joined forces once again to help you get clean and organized this year! And maybe in the process MY house will be clean and organized! This year, my series is not going to be as heavily focused on products, but rather practical ways to achieve your goals this spring. And as a green mom, the products I do feature will be all-natural and safe enough to use around your children. The series doesn’t officially begin until March, however, I have a pre-series giveaway to get you excited about spring cleaning.
A vacuum is a cleaning staple in any household. One of the first things I look for in any vacuum is a HEPA (high efficiency particulate absorbing) filtration system. Without one, the dust, dirt, and microbes simply get blown into the air. The Oreck XL Platinum Pilot vacuum has a HEPA filtration system that traps up to 99.9 percent of dust and allergens down to 0.3 microns. My husband, son, and I all have allergies so this is an important feature for us.
I have to admit that when I did my research on the vacuum (before testing it out) and found out it uses a bag, I was a bit disappointed. I remember my mom’s old vacuum and what a hassle it was for her to change the bags (it was messy for the most part). We have a bagless vacuum and I have to say that some of the dust particles do in fact get uplifted into the air when I empty it (which is why I do it outside or in the garage). The Platinum Pilot actually uses self-sealing bags (a concept I’d never heard of before) which means you don’t have to be exposed to dirt, dust, and allergens. While it is an added expense to purchase bags ($20-$35 for 8 bags), overall I think it’s a cleaner, healthier way to deal with the “stuff” that you vacuum up. If you have pets, you definitely want self-sealing bags in order to help eliminate pet odors. While I like to “see” what my vacuum has picked up, I’m more interested in keeping all of those microbes nicely packed away in a vacuum bag…to be disposed of!
Vacuums are heavy. They also tend to be bulky which makes storing them a challenge. At only 10 pounds, I can easily take the Platinum Pilot up and down the stairs to vacuum (I can even vacuum the stairs). It has a slim design which makes it easy to store nicely in our closet downstairs.
I honestly didn’t realize the power behind this vacuum, especially considering how light and compact it is. We have eco-friendly carpet with a bit of “shag” to it so it’s not the easiest to vacuum. It traps dirt and dust which means it never really “looks” dirty. But I know it gets dirty (we can fill up a bagless vacuum with one room). The Platinum Pilot features a powerful, pile-lifting roller brush to help pull out embedded dirt, dust, allergens, dander, and pet hair. The vacuum also has an anti-microbial agent built into it (and on it) to inhibit the growth and reproduction of bacteria, mold, and mildew.
The vacuum handles well. Not only is it extremely light in weight, it maneuvers well. The Platinum Pilot features 360° Glide technology (ball-joint and pivot connection) which means it tilts, twists, turns, and moves easily in hard to reach places (it even lies flat!). The result is that I don’t have to spend nearly as much time going back to places I’ve missed with a handheld vacuum.
A vacuum is a big investment…one that needs careful consideration. My personal feeling is that it should be effective at picking up and containing dirt, dust, etc., easy to use and maneuver, lightweight, and utilize HEPA filtration.
The Oreck XL Platinum Pilot Vacuum retails for $599 and also includes a lightweight handheld vacuum. The company offers a 30-day risk-free trial period because they stand behind their products. For additional information about the vacuum and it’s features, or to purchase the vacuum, simply visit their site.

OMG, totally need a new vac – this one looks amazing!!! Def tweeted about it too!
Whoa, the IntellaShield Technology rocks my world. Of course, I’m totally grossed out by other vacuums, now that I know that this is a possibility lol
It’s awesome to think of your vacuum NOT dragging mildew, mold and bacteria all over your floor as you move around because it’s got anti-bacterial properties.
Thank you SO MUCH for this opportunity! Like I told you on twitter just now, we only own a shop vac lol Great for floods, but not so great to lug around every time the kids spill Cheerios or the husband tracks in mud.
I’m liking the self sealing bag idea. Maybe it’ll inspire to clean more often!

I like the unique ball-joint and pivot connection provide easy steering and greater maneuverability
I hate vaccuuming, but this would make it as hassle-free as possible! I know you mentioned it, but I really like the 360 degree feature. I am also intrigued by the 2 speed feature.

I like that it Lays virtually flat to fit easily under furniture.
If I won my hisband would be so excited, he always wanted an Oreck
I like the special “Helping Hand Handle” because it is a strain-free, ergonomic no-squeeze handle. Also, it received a commendation from the Arthritis Foundation because it’s so easy to use. That’s a fantastic feature that you don’t see on other vacuums.

It twists and turns with a flick of the wrist
The all-new Oreck Platinum Pilot with 360° Glide uses a unique ball-joint and pivot connection to easily guide the vacuum exactly where you need it to go. It corners couches, glides in and out of small spaces, and turns on a dime – so you can clean in one continuous motion.

I’ve seen a number of imressive commercials how effective a clening instrument the Oreck vacuum cleaner is and I’m looking forward to seeing for myself how accurate those ads are!
What’s *not* to like? The way it moves in all directions, the way it uses 1/3 the electricity, the hepa filtration, etc.

I think it’s great that it only weighs 10 pounds since I have to lug a vacuum up and down stairs and it’s great on stairs too!
Twists and turns with the flick of a wrist–really like that feature for hard to reach spots.
I love Orecks. I hadn’t seen this new design. I like how it turns 360° and can move at two speeds.

I like that the New Pilot pulls out deeply embedded dirt, dust, dander, and pet hair. With two cats, I could sure use this!
I do not have an Oreck yet (hope to win one) but as a senior widower I could sure use this one.

There are just too many features that I like about this vacuum. Struggling with my old vacuum in a split level house is cumbersome and frustrating. I love that the vacuum is so light weight and that it lays flat to go under furniture. Dust bunnies beware!! The antibacterial properties are also a big thumbs up with me, I live and work on a horse ranch and I hate the idea of even more germs are being spread throughout my house while I am trying to keep it clean.

I like the fact that the Oreck XL Platinum Pilot Vacuum has a ball-joint pivoting connection that allows for sharp turns with minimal effort. I get tired of having to slide our vacuum back and forth to get it to turn into a corner or under our couch. Any feature that makes it easier to handle gets my vote!

As silly as it sounds, I really dig the cool shaped handle to push it all with. I have big hands so sometimes they don’t fit comfortably into handles of some of the smaller “versatile” vacuums!
I like that the Oreck twists and turns with a flick of the wrist. It would be nice to win as my current vacuum is on it’s last leg.
The all-new Oreck Platinum Pilot with 360° Glide uses a unique ball-joint and pivot connection to easily guide the vacuum exactly where you need it to go. Our “sucker-upper” as my 2 yr. old calls is doesn’t work anymore. Vacs are pricey so fingers crossed.

The XL Premium has this feature – Unlike bagless vacuums, the Saniseal® system automatically seals shut, locking the dirt in the disposable filter bag. Changing bags is effortless, odorless and clean. And one Oreck bag can hold as much as four bagless dust cups. WOW – no more holding my breath – yeah!!

I like the The Oreck Steam-It
Twists and turns with a flick of the wrist
The all-new Oreck Platinum Pilot with 360° Glide uses a unique ball-joint and pivot connection to easily guide the vacuum exactly where you need it to go. It corners couches, glides in and out of small spaces, and turns on a dime – so you can clean in one continuous motion
THIS SAYS IT ALL

10 pounds is definitely the best feature with the self sealing bag a great bonus
I love the fact that it’s lightweight and the head of the vac swivels
at only 10lbs and 360 glide. I can vacuum everywhere and not be too tired silenttributary(at)yahoo(dot)com

I like that it can pivot every direction. That’s a super good feature.

I learned that With Direct Suction, the Pilot produces 102 mph air flow, delivering dirt straight to the vacuum bag
I like how this vaccum is lightweight enough and easy to manuever so it won’t be giving my arm an insane workout every time i clean.

I love that it’s only 10 lbs. I currently have 2 cheap vacuums (1 on each level) just so I don’t have to lug them up and down the stairs. I would love to upgrade to one awesome one!

I like the direct suction: “Most bagless vacs move dirt through a convoluted maze of tubing, which requires a larger motor. The Oreck’s smaller, more energy efficient motor uses 1/3 the electricity of many other vacuums.”

The long cord is great and it’s not too heavy.
The feature I like best is the HEPA-filtration, odor-fighting, no-mess disposable vacuum bags.
I really like this feature: Changing bags is effortless, odorless and clean. Oreck bags help eliminate pet odors and other stubborn smells, and they can hold as much as four bagless dust cups.
I have 4 kids and pets we rescued, and when my old vac does pick up some dirt (not very well, I never feel like my floor is REALLY clean) more dirt falls down out of the vacuum when I take the cup out to empty it.

I like many of the features although if I had to select one it would be that it is furniture friendly. I like to be able to vacuumm couches and chairs and luckily I’m able to do it with this.
I also want to mention that I like the Unique ball-joint and pivot connection for easy steering & maneuverability. Nice feature.

I like the 30 foot cord. Long enough to do most of the house i need to do without worrying about finding another outlet to plug into
I love how light-weight it is and how it promises to tackle pet hair.
The handle and the ball joint pivot seem brilliant, I always hate trying to maneuver my vacuum. It’s one of the reasons I never do…
I love that it fights odors too!

I love that it’s so lightweight.
Sign me up for that one. I could use a lightweight vac!
I like the HEPA Filter feature. Nothing is worse when you can “smell” that you have been vaccuming.
I would have to say my favorite feature is the 30-Foot Power Cord. My current vacuum seems to have such a short cord and always have to unplug it and replug it in somewhere else.

The IntellaShield Technology is great!!! We’ve got allergies and animals that drag in those allergies, so this would be amazing.
I love how it comes with a hand-held vacuum. It would be perfect for white cat hair on my black couch!
I really like the 360° Glide technology, which would really help to get into tight spots and corners
