By now you may have heard that I’ll be appearing in a little thing I like to call a national television commercial for Oreck’s new VersaVac (woo!), but enough about me – let’s talk about this fantastic new product!
Storage is in short supply in our house, so it drives me crazier than replacement refs to store something that only serves one function (I’m looking at you, waffle iron). Oreck must have heard my rants because they’ve created the new VersaVac – a vacuum cleaner and steam mop in one!

| Oreck’s new multifunction, multi-surface VersaVac! |
There are so many things G and I love about this multi-tasking powerhouse of a floor cleaner, but instead of typing it all out, for the first time ever on ATG&D, I’m going to tell you about it!
Presenting. . .the (very amateur!) home video I submitted to Oreck, which led to me being one of a handful of bloggers selected for a national VersaVac television commercial!
Get a behind-the-scenes look at my filming for the VersaVac commercial here!
I’ve been so excited to share the news of Oreck’s new VersaVac that I’ve been counting down the days until its release date – and now it’s here! Want to get your floor-scrubbing hands on one for free? Simply use the Rafflecopter widget below to enter this giveaway up to five times over the next week for your chance to win!
Disclosure: I received the VersaVac from Oreck to review at no cost to me. All opinions are my own.
I loveeeee the video- it’s great (coming from someone who has major anxiety about that type of thing!)
I can’t help but notice (and not meant to offend) a baby bump?! Is Kate getting another sibling?!
Loved your video! One thing that caught my attention in the video was when you said it sanitizes your floor with just water. I was wondering how is that possible?! Then I went to their website where I read “To sanitize hard floor surfaces, focus steam while mopping for at least 15 seconds” and my question was answered! I would love this! I’m a grad student living alone in a shoe-box sized apartment so storage is at a minimum and this would serve so many purposes! What a great product!
I love the removable water canister! So much easier than the current steam mop that we have.
Love your video! We also have hardwood floors so I learned that there is a setting for hardwood floors. We always fear we are going to ruin our floors too.
Courtney
love that it sanitizes the floor!
I love your video! I also love this versa vac-I need one!
A 30 ft cord sounds long enough that I could get two rooms without being so long that I’m tripping over it!
I love that the brushroll can be on or off! Sounds like a handy feature- my current vacuum always ends up all tangled up with long dog hair!
This looks so easy to use–and I love products that are multi-purpose…
Love, love love! This would be perfect for me! Cute video
I love this giveaway! I’ve been looking for a combo machine thats safe on all floors.
This is freakin awesome. I have a swiffer vac, a regular swiffer, a mop, a vacuum, a steam mop, a broom and two toddlers.
Yeah. I need this like WHOA!
Love that it does it all!
I love that it is for all floor types. While we have hardwood throughout most of our house, we do have a few rugs and carpet in 1 room, it is annoying to have both a vacuum and a steam cleaner.
**And you can make hash browns, cookies and brownies in a waffle maker…do a search on pinterest 😉
I learned that there is 20% off and free shipping today at oreck.com

I discovered that it’d be PERFECT for our carpet/hardwood/tile filled apartment! It’s ideal for all & the fact that it is bag-less AND a steam mop just made me want to win even more!! Please, please, please pick me. I’ve actually been in need of a vacuum cleaner for awhile, but couldn’t find one that was versatile for all floor types. This. is. the. one! I can’t wait to try it. (Plus, I like the price if for some reason I don’t win.)
Thanks for the opportunity, G&D and Oreck!
I learned that it would work well on my tile kitchen floors, so I wouldn’t have to wash it by hand anymore!
I love that I could use one tool to vacuum and mop!
Love that it sanitizes without chemicals! Now, gimme!!
I love that it’s bagless and can clean all of my tile flooring!!
Thank you for your feedback on our video and your thoughts on Oreck’s new VersaVac – it’s fun to hear!
@Anonymous: Nope, that’s not a baby bump, that’s an “I binge eat when I’m stressed/nervous/anxious” bump – all three of which I was when doing this video! Expect to see one in the commercial too. (Winning!) I’m going to go run 20 miles now, hahaha.
@Jenna: The extra long cord is great! That’s one of G’s favorite features!
@Jodie: Cookies and brownies from a waffle iron? See! THAT’S how faux baby bumps happen, hahaha! Thanks for the tip – I’ll have to check that out!
I love that the Oreck is bagless and able to clean multiple surfaces!
No chemicals!
Wow! I love that it is a steam mop and vaccuum! Fab!!!
“crazier than replacement refs” hilarious
ps. i want to win this thing 😉
Great job on the video! I love how easy it was to fill up! The funnel method on other steam mops made such a mess!
I want one! I love that it works on a variety of flooring surfaces and that it is chemical-free!
-Erin @ DIY on the Cheap
Completely agree with Stephanie! I have a mop, vacuum, swiffer…would love to have an all-in-one!
Love that’s its a vacuum and a mop! How great is that?!
It is a vacuum and a steam mop… brilliant!! themorrisplace5@gmail.com
I love that it will clean both hardwood floors and carpet, since I have both in my apartment. Fun giveaway; thank you!
So professional looking!
I learned that it comes with two steam pads, which is awesome because you don’t have to remember to wash it after every use.
20 ft power cord. Oh yeah.
Great job! I learned that it comes with 2 washable, re-usable microfiber steam pads–huge plus!
Cute video!! Haven’t heard of this before now but it’s defin. going on my christmas wish list. I love the 30 ft cord (my old steam mop is suuuuuper short) and love that I can clean my wood, tile, and carpet. Thanks!

Dusty – no wonder they wanted you for their commercial. You are a natural – and the camera lurves you! Will the commercial only air on that one day? I don’t want to miss it – and my DVR is broken.
Remember all us little people when you are famous and have a HUGE entourage of folks waiting on you feeding you grapes and wiping the sweat off your brow – ha ha!
Great job on the video!!! I love how the VersaVac so easy to adjust to use on hardwood vs. carpet!
I love that it is a multi-surface cleaner – this would make cleaning so much easier!
I’m so happy I can use it on hardwood floors! That alone makes it worth the purchase.
The removable water canister sounds awesome.
Such a great video; no wonder they chose you! After following your blog for years it was fun to hear your voice; love the accent! You and G should think about making a kid’s tv program, or making commercials for a living. My two year old stopped what he was doing and ran over to the computer as soon as you started speaking; he was mesmerized by you two and the steam-vac. Maybe I should buy him one for Christmas. So happy for you and the great things that have come your way because of your awesome blog.
I love that it can be used for every floor in your home: hardwoods, linoleum, tile and stone. Very cool!
love the idea of a water canister. thanks for the chance!
Great job on the video! Looking forward to seeing the commercial.
I really want one of these now. My cheapie steam mop just isn’t getting it done. I especially like the hardwood floor setting – we have hardwoods, tile, and carpet, so this would do it all!
I love that it’s also a steam mop!
I amazed that this vacuum can sanitize floors with just water. That’s awesome!
I love that I can get rid of the 5 different things I have now and clean the tile, hardwood and carpets with one piece of equipment
Looks like a great product! I love that it eliminates the need for special cleaners while mopping (cough *$wiffer* cough) and disinfects using just the steam created from tap water.
You know I looooove the video! And what a great product – very green (steam and bagless – win win).
I looooove that it takes the place of several other cleaning tools. AWESOME!
Y’all are adorable!
I love the long cord; once I get going…
I love that it sanitizes the floor! With two little ones I’m always worried about having clean floors and this would put my mind at ease!
I love that it sanitizes the floor! With two little ones I’m always worried about having clean floors and this would put my mind at ease!
I love that it is ONLY water doing the cleaning and sanitizing! Our house has Pergo, carpet, linoleum, and ceramic tile so a combo vac would be so amazing in our house!
I love how large the steam pad is!
Okay well – you’ve sold me! I’ll be ordering one of these ASAP. Congrats on the national commercial, that’s very exciting!
This is so exciting! And I absolutely need one of these… I have 2 cats, a dog, and an 8 month old. Our house cannot stay clean!
This product looks awesome! I love the versatility!
I love that it can steam hardwood floors. I use a Swiffer on ours & the chemicals always worry me.
Cute video!
Love that it is two in one and does all floor types. chedeb5353@hotmail.com
I learned the Versavac is on backorder! I wanted to order after watching you sell it!
Man, this is gonna be a SUPER popular product! I would absolutely love to have one.
I also learned that your first commentor “anonymous” is either blind, rude or smoking crack because I see no bump on you. “No offense, but you look pregnant…” Who says that to someone? Geesh. Rude.
Love that it can be used on different floor types. It does everything!
I love that I wouldn’t have to change items from rugs to my hard wood floors.
I learned that I NEED this!
I just realized why every comment included something about the product. I have a thing or 2 to learn about rafflecopter. I learned from the website that I can’t use the VersaVac on my fine silks, which is a good thing- anything that touches my floor should not touch my clothes;) Looks like a great product.
I love that you can use it on all floor surfaces!
Great job on the video — I can totally see why Oreck picked you to star in their commercial!
I have a steam mop too, but love that the VersaVac can be used on pretty much any surface. And that it’s easy to fill!
i love that it sanitzes without chemicals!
I need one of these. So it’s be great to win one. I learned that it has adjustable steam settings.
Definitely want to check this out! You had me at STEAM MOP!
You so rocked that! And now I want one
Love your demo video. What a fun experience. I love that it’s a vacuum and steamer in one! I want this product now.
It can be used on all types of floors!
What I learned…it’s on backorder! That just screams good product!
Sanitizes without chemicals. Love that!
I love that one machine can clean all floor types…how convenient!
natalie.polinske(at)gmail(dot)com
I love that this cleans both floors. Less clutter!!
Very cool. Love that it works on linoleum too.
(I think we’re supposed to comment her with what we learned about the VersaVac, right?) I like that it can be used on all hard floors and that it’s easy to remove the steam pad–just step on the foot lever.
I learned that it is on Back Order right now on their website.

Great video – I can see why they chose you! I learned that the vacuum is also bagless which is an awesome feature bonus!
That video was awesome and I am sold on the merits of the new VersaVac. I need to get one of them for MY husband, haha. He LOVES to clean our floors.
So happy for you!!
jbhat
OMG your accent!
I love how I can use it on all my floors!
I learned that the steam function can run for 30 minutes continuosly

I learned that VersaVac can be used on hardwoods, linoleum, tile and stone which is perfect for my tiny little kitchen and bathrooms.
it sanitizes the floor!
I had no clue it had a steam mop too!
jessicarwarfield at gmail dot com
Woohoo, it’s bagless!
Jodibodi529 at yahoo dot com
Cleaning crayon off floors without having to get down on my hands and knees to scrub?? Count me in!
Didn’t know there was something like this out there. I always clean our floors on my hands and knees because mops gross me out. This is so much cleaner and easier!
12 lbs!! Awesome.

It is bagless!
maynekitty [at] live [dot] com
i learned that it’s bagless and can clean both hardwood AND carpet… which is what i have. that is awesome.
Learned that its chemical free
I think it’s amazing that it can be used as a steam mop too.
lkish77123 at gmail dot com
I learned that they don’t recommend it for laminate floors but I’d be so tempted to test it out!! Love this idea, so much easier than pulling out the vacuum and the mop.
A bagless 12 pound vacuum with a 30foot cord! I could live with that!
I love that it is dual function!
I love the 30 ft cord!
I love that it has a 30ft cord. I love that it would be so much easier than having to sweep, and mop, and vacuum- You can do it all with the one machine! Call me lazy, but I LOVE that!! Oh and I also love that it’s chemical free steaming- I like knowing that it’s just water to steam clean and not a bunch of chemicals.
Apparently I just really love the VersaVac.
Love that it has steam!
my vacuum is old and loud!! i love that this one ismore than just a plain vacuum and yes the neighbors won’t know when i am cleaning.. yes mine is that loud!!
I love the cord length. I have a steam mop now with a cord so short it annoys me every time I use it!
I love that it is bagless and the water tank is easy to fill!
Love that is is multifunctional. How awesome!
-Cayla B.
Ok, I have to ask. How do you keep your kitchen counters completely free of both clutter and appliances?? I saw one lone coffee maker. Where do you keep your toaster, canisters of flour/sugar, fresh fruit, etc? I also have a terrible time keeping DH from piling receipts and random items all over the counters.
This is the best giveaway EVER! Thanks for hosting! One fun thing I learned is that it is multi-floor approved! I have hard woods and rugs….so this would be PERFECT!!!!
I learned that it has a 30 foot cord, so I don’t have to plug and unplug 15 times while vacuuming the house!
coriwestphal at msn dot com
I learned that it’s great for different floor types. Awesome!
No chemicals and 30ft cord! LOVE at first sight!!
-Lauren G
Love the video! Thanks for hosting this amazing giveaway!
I love that it cleans all different types of floors….and especially that it turns from vacuum to steamer in seconds! Thanks for the giveaway!!

Steam mop and vacuum in one? Love it!~
I love the removable water canister!
I love that it’s meant for all floor types – even hardwood!
I love that it is bagless and has adjustable steam settings!
I learned that it has a locking mechanism for steaming!
It is also a steammop, awesome! RC jenkalbrecht at hot mail dot com
I love the adjustable heat feature!
Love that it is safe on hardwood and sanitizes with no chemicals! We live in a 100 year old house with all the original hardwood floors so this would be a huge help!!
I love that it sanitizes with no chemicals!!!
Absolutely love your video – you are such a natural! I am closely as in love with this multi-tasking beauty of a machine! My favorite part is no chemicals!
I love that it is okay to use on hardwood floors and that all you have to use is water – no chemicals.
i learned its a vac and a mop! awesome!
Fabulous video, I can’t make one half as great! I just love that it is a vacuum and steam cleaner in one – awesome!
You should think a lot about your floors before making a choise of that kind…
I love how small it is! I have 21 (ye I counted!) stairs to go up to get to my yuckiest floor and hauling the vaccum and then my steam cleaner up then kills me. I want this!
