I was so fortunate to be asked to check out a terrific new vacuum, an Oreck.  It’s an Oreck XL Gold. It’s an upright. It’s portable. How can that be, you say? It’s part of the Oreck Power Team. The Power Team consists of an upright vacuum and a portable vacuum.

Here’s a video of us taking it out of the box. You should watch this, all the way to the end before you go any further.

And there it is.

So. You ready? You know what time it is right?
WIN IT!
That’s right! As you saw if you watched the video, I’ve got another Oreck to give away! The winner of this giveaway will receive this same vacuum – the Oreck XL Gold, retail price $499.95!

I’ll be running this contest in the usual way but with a twist. For your main entry visit the Oreck site and check out the Oreck XL Gold. Then come back here and leave a comment telling me one thing you learned about the vacuum on the site.
