But first, you must know exactly how much I love my Oreck Forever Series Gold Vacuum. Here's the scoop -- I actually look forward to vacuuming now. Seriously. Sometimes I want my kids to spill that bowl of crumbly chips or cereal all over my carpet so that I can pull out my Oreck vacuum and clean it all up. Perfectly. Every. Single. Time.

Benefits for me, the busy mom of seven, that this Oreck provides? Here are just a couple of the multitude of awesomeness reasons. First? the ultra-long cord. I can vacuum great distances without ever switching the outlet. I used to be a slave to the outlet -- not anymore  -- I can clean and clean and clean. Think about how often we stretch ourselves trying to vacuum the last corner without having to unplug? Not me, with my Oreck. Now I can vacuum our main level and stairs without switching outlets. Freedom in 35 feet.

Second, and probably the most important, I love the suction power. My carpets that I thought for sure needed to be replaced look almost new. I don't know how Oreck does it, but that vacuum that they sent me has this ability to clean my carpets so they almost look better than they did when they were purchased. And for that, I say thank you. A big thank you.

Here's a cool one. On the side of the vacuum are these little brushes that stick out. Want to know why? Here's the secret -- it vacuums right up to the edge of my baseboards. I don't have to go around with the crevice tool every single time. Love.

I got their cool Ultimate Hand Vac as well. Not a day goes by where I don't use it. First off, the pole extends. Did you read that? Not only does this have the amazingly long cord like the vacuum, but it has a pole that extends smoothly and easily. Now my ceilings in my vaulted main floor are all free of cobwebs. Without a  ladder. It was just me and my trusty Oreck cleaning the vaults. Curtains cleaned. Cabinets vacuumed out. Under the fridge. Top of the ledge. Couch. Front step. Steps. Back porch mat. Upstairs hall way ceilings. Toaster. Car. All clean. And easy.

And guys -- it doesn't hurt my shoulder. They're both light and easy to use and clean amazing - that's huge for me and you and all of us busy moms. Clean floors = happy moms.

I'm just telling you: I love my Oreck.

There I've said it again. And I will NEVER EVER want another vacuum again. They had me at the first pass of the vacuum. See my Gracie's smile? She mirrors mine. Thank you Oreck.
