Spring Cleaning With Oreck *Giveaway*

Posted by 912 Comments

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.

  2. 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.

  6. 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.

  19. 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.

    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.

  64. Okay this is going to seem like a strange favorite feature, being there is intellisheild, and the ball-joint feature to get under and around furniture. But I like the fact that it has a 30 foot cord. Because I get tired of plugging and unplugging my vacuum in order to reach the entire room.

    The Pilot features IntellaShield Technology. This is an anti-microbial agent built right into key points of the vacuum that inhibits the growth and reproduction of bacteria, mold and mildew – in and on the vacuum. It works even when the vacuum is turned off – which helps create a healthier clean.

  89. 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.

  116. 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!

  122. 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!

    Proven, safe technology kills germs and flea eggs without chemicals, and captures pet hair. CAPTURES pet hair instead of blows it around and you chase it! 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!!

  749. I LOVE how it glides and manuvers. I also love how it is not that heavy. I hate vacuuming with a huge heavy vacuum that takes more to push then what its worth.

  754. My favorite feature is definately that it only weighs 10 pounds since I have a bad back. Thank you for the opportunity to win. This would be awesome to have. 🙂

  759. I like that it only weighs 10 lbs, which should make it much easier to handle for someone with a bad back like me.

  765. I really like the idea of a 30 foot cord. I hate having to stop and unplug and replug the vacuum between rooms.

  770. It only weighs 10 pounds! I have a terrible case of tendinitis right now and hauling out my big heavy vacuum isn’t going to happen.

  773. I like the fact that the unique ball-joint and pivot connection provide easy steering and greater maneuverability around furniture etc. But the anti-bacterial properties really sealed the deal for me!

  775. I learned that it inhibits the growth and reproduction of bacteria, mold and mildew – in and on the vacuum. It works even when the vacuum is turned off – which helps create a healthier clean.

  780. I love my super-light Oreck that I have, but it’s so hard to trun. This would be so much easier! I also love the Helping Hand handle!

  782. I like the feature “The Pilot features IntellaShield Technology™. This is an anti-microbial agent built right into key points of the vacuum that inhibits the growth and reproduction of bacteria, mold and mildew – in and on the vacuum. It works even when the vacuum is turned off – which helps create a healthier clean.” I’m always freaked out about dust mites so this would be great! Thanks.

  786. My favorite feature is the extra hand held vacuum. This is great for quickness and convenience in cleaning sofas, chairs, and other furniture.

  799. This looks quite maneuverable with its unique ball-joint and pivot connection. I could use this to roll around furniture in my house.

  815. One of the best features I like is the ability to use a vacuum force that sucks up dirt. I also like that you can roll it forward and backwards with the wheels. This is much better than dragging it without wheels.

  828. I also like the unique ball-joint and pivot connection which provides easy steering and greater maneuverability, especially around furniture and my dog who will not move!

  841. I like that it “Twists and turns with a flick of the wrist”. Sounds so easy to use! My daughter has the very basic one and I love it!

  846. I checked out the Oreck website and one feature I really love is the 30 foot cord! I hate unplugging and having to find another outlet 😀

  850. So many great features to choose from, but I think my favorite would have to be it’s 360° Glide. The older I get, the more awkward and heavier my old monster vacuum cleaner seems to get. Thanks for the giveaway 🙂

  855. I like that this vacuum has a HEPA Filtration disposable bags. The bagless vacuums are ok, but I tend to think the ones with bags are actually a better vacuum.

  857. IntellaShield™ Antimicrobial Protection is my favorite function on this vac. I am allergic to mold – so this is a wonderful addition.

    Reply

  859. Thanks for the giveaway…I like the Pilot’s Two Speed Settings which allow you to clean deep pile carpets on high setting; low speed setting is gentle enough for use on Oriental & Persian carpets.

  863. Nice vacuum! I especially like that it is lightweight and has self sealing disposable bags. Thanks for having a great contest!

  864. oh god i love all the features but i think my favorite is that it pivots that is so cool.mine just goes straight ahead which makes it really hard to get to tougher spots.i also love that it has HEPA filtration and antimicrobial protection we have three dogs and this would be so great 🙂

  868. I love that it is only 10 pounds and has the unique ball-joint and pivot connection to easily guide the vacuum exactly where you need it to go.

  871. I really like that the HEPA-filtration vacuum bags trap up to 99.9% of all dust and allergens down to 0.3 microns. So the dust on the floor doesn’t blow back into the air and end up on your furniture. And unlike bagless vacuums, the Saniseal® system automatically seals the bag shut, locking in the dirt.

  873. My favorite feature of the Oreck Platinum Pilot would have to be the great set of eight attachments it comes with, which makes cleaning pretty much every surface, from drapes to bookshelves, a breeze, which would make my life a whole lot easier! Thanks for the giveaway!

  874. The best feature is the Platinum Pilot’s ability to corner couches, glide in and out of small spaces, and turns on a dime – so you can clean in one continuous motion. This feature takes the “chore” out of vacuuming.
