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!
- 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.

As a fan of Iron Man I have to love iron – Fe (and you know the joke about iron = Fe, man = male, therefore Iron Man = Female – gotta love it!)

I’m going to go with tungsten because of the book “Uncle Tungsten.” It’s hard to pick a favorite because I’m a fan of the entire table…
(Why yes, I do own a copy of Theodore Gray’s “Element Vault.”)
Eve says
Mg me! And I’ve got to go with H. Hydrogen is required for all life.
Betty J says
I am tempted to say C as in Carbon since diamonds are a girl’s best friend, but since I already have a very nice diamond, I will say Au – gold. By the way, if you are announcing the winner on Thursday, that is our 37th wedding anniversary. Wouldn’t it be nice if Mr Random.org selected me!
Kendra says
Mg me!!!
I enjoy oxygen on a regular basis so I’ll go with that for my favorite :-)
Michelle says
Mg ME!
I’m going to go with He just because it’s the one that I could always remember where it went on the Periodic Table.

That and my built-in vacuum is on it’s final legs. Looks like the house could use some Mg!
Lisa says

My favorite element is Livermorium which has just been added. The elements were created by smashing calcium ions (with 20 protons) into curium targets (which have 96 protons), combining to form element 116, Livermorium. Because smashing ions is just cool…
laura says
Mg ME!
