Fab Freebie: Magnesium

***This giveaway is no longer accepting entries – see who won below!***

Wow. You guys are a lot more opinionated about the periodic table than I had assumed. Anyways, random.org selected the winner of this giveaway as… Andi W. (who likes Sodium for all of the salty snacks it provides, but admitted “My inner nerd wants to vote adamantium.”) Congrats Andi!

Hold onto your seats, chemistry nerds. We’re giving away some magnesium this week. It’s coming in the form of Oreck’s latest and lightest-weight upright vacuum ever – the Magnesium. In fact, at less than 8lbs it weighs in at about half the poundage of an ordinary upright. Not to mention its skinny but strong frame slides naturally under furniture and other hard-to-reach dust bunny havens. Oreck’s also throwing in the Ultimate Handheld Vac to round out your cleaning repertoire – and to boost the prize value to nearly $600!

Oreck Magnesium Giveaway

  • PRIZE: An Oreck Magnesium upright vacuum and the Oreck Ultimate Handheld Vac (a $599 value).
  • TO ENTER: Comment on this post with the words “Mg ME!” and tell us…
  • BONUS QUESTION: … (you ready for this?) what’s your favorite element on the periodic table? Are you a big fan of Oxygen because of the whole breathing thing? Or Sodium because you’re a salty food addict? Or perhaps good ol’ Au & Ag (aka Gold and Silver)?
  • GIVEAWAY CLOSES: Wednesday, June 27th at 8pm EST or at 10,000 entries (whichever comes first)
  • NUMBER OF WINNERS: One
  • DISCOUNT: 15% off any Oreck product with code YOUNGHOUSELOVE (valid through July 9, excludes sale or refurbished items)
  • PRIZE SHIPS: The United States (although we do try to wrangle as many international giveaways as possible)
  • USUAL STUFF: One entry per e-mail address is permitted. The winner will be selected using random.org and announced on Thursday as an update to this post. That’s right, come right back here on Thursday for the announcement of our winner. Good luck…

Note: We aren’t paid or perked for hosting these giveaways, we just do ‘em to thank you awesome folks for stopping in. See our Giveaway FAQ page for more info. Pics courtesy of Oreck.

    Mg me, please! :D My favorite element on the periodic table is Iron, and my only reason for that is because the letters were so unpredictable to me… Fe. Of course that has to do with the word ferric, but still we call it iron…

    Mg ME!
    I like Tungsten because it was the only wedding ring material strong enough to hold up to my future husbands array of DIY projects without getting destroyed.

    Mg ME!!! Oh my word, I really hope I win! Yahoo! I’m gonna say my favorite is Seaborquim. I have no idea what it is, but it makes me think of the beach…where I would love to be right about now!

    Mg ME! Seriously, I need some Mg in my life… You two argue over towel bars. My fiance and I argue over clean carpets. And, believe it or not, nobody seems to want to buy us a vacuum for our wedding because it’s “too cold” of a present. I tend to think clean floors are hot, but..

    And, I’m going to have to go with Tungsten as my favorite element because it has the highest boiling point. HOT!

    Mg ME! Yeah, O2 is pretty good stuff, but I theorize that I could also live off of Au and Ag if needed.

    Mg ME!! I’m a fan of He – Helium, because it can raise you up and you can talk in that fantastic squeaky voice if you take some in…

    Mg Me! I guess I’d say my fav element is lithium, though that’s probably just because of the Nirvana song… lol!

    This is a VERY timely giveway for me, though. Our vacuum just broke this weekend and I’ve been scouring the internet today doing research on new ones!
