Magnesium® SP is the lightest, full-powered upright vacuum cleaner in America. With its extremely strong, durable magnesium frame, the Magnesium SP packs all the power you expect from an Oreck vacuum cleaner — so much power it feels like it's self-propelled on most surfaces. The two speed Quickswitch® on the back of the vacuum enables you to move smoothly across all floor types using appropriate power levels: high for carpets and low for hardwoods and tile. It's even gentle enough for fine Oriental and Persian rugs on low speed. Additionally, the large high-performance rear wheels with cylindrical wheel bearings give the Magnesium SP maneuverability, making it easy to push through high-pile carpet. Best of all, it lies virtually flat for easy cleaning under furniture. This top-of-the-line model comes with a 7-year limited warranty and 3 annual tune-ups.**

Wendy Will Blog The "nice height" of the Magnesium means no more hunching over for Wendy, who is 5'8". She also likes that she "could simply push the button to change the setting instead of turning it off, bending over, and rotating a dial to change settings." See full review on Wendy Will Blog.
Not Just A Housewife "This vacuum lays FLAT. It can go under your furniture in a way no other vacuum ever has," says Stacy, who is just as impressed that its powerful suction means she doesn't have to use a handheld vac to do the baseboards, either. Full review and photos at Not Just a Housewife.
Snap! Self-described vacuum connoisseur Tauni has a "super-awesome/naughty beagle named Jersey" whose mission in life is to leave fur all over the house. Magnesium has nipped that in the bud and cut her cleaning time as well. See other reasons why she calls it "the BEST vacuum I've ever owned" at snap!

The Oreck Advantage: Direct Suction

Our direct suction design delivers dirt in a straight, efficient path right to the vacuum bag. It's a streamlined design that works beautifully with a smaller motor — and one reason why Oreck bagged uprights are so lightweight. Here's how: our upright vacuums incorporate a "dirty air system" in which dirt is pulled through a fan that breaks it into smaller particles that get sucked up into the vacuum. Oreck's smaller motor drives this fan, as well as the brushroll. Because these smaller motors sit closer to the floor they provide efficient suction and are able to spin the brushroll incredibly fast.

Oreck® Magnesium® SP 4.4 5 59 59
Unsatisfied After 25 Years I have used Oreck bagged vacuums for over 25 years. My last vacuum, my third, was the Platinum XL Vacuum purchased in 2009. I was so impress by this vacuum that before I finished using it for the first time I called the Oreck's customer service to tell them "... it practically vacuums by itself..". When it came time to purchase another vacuum I chose an Oreck. I chose the Oreck® Magnesium® SP on May 29, 2003. These are my initial findings. CON The operating control is not on the handle as in the Platinum but on the body of the vacuum. To turn it off you stop vacuuming, raise the handle, take you hand off the handle and press the off button. Poor design. CON The cord is lower on the Magnesium, close to the power head, where the brushes are. Since vacuuming is a back and forth motion I kept running over the power cord. Poor design. I solved this problem by stringing the power cord thru the handle. CON I really liked the bag pocket on the out bag of the Platinum. It was very handy to store cleaning tools I use while vacuuming. There is no bag pocket on the Magnesium. PRO The Magnesium is very light weight. PRO The Magnesium does a much better job on the carpeting by the base board. In my opinion this is a big plus sing I don't need to use the handheld to clean this area as I did with the Platinum. June 5, 2013
Oreck Vacuum cleaner The vacuum cleaner is so light weight wise,but very powerful sucking up dust & dirt. June 3, 2013
This is a great vac with very good features The vacuum is the lightest weight vacuum I have ever owned. It is great for anyone that has back problems. It moves so easy- almost runs itself. I love it! February 9, 2013
Oreck is a product made in America This is my fifth Oreck...I have bought them for my three daughters, and I am sold on this company. I traded in my old XL for the Magnesium because it is lighter and more maneuverable. My XL still works fine, but I was looking for something that would go under furniture. This vacuum is everything it is purported to be and in fact, after using mine, my sister is purchasing the Magnesium also. But as much as I like the product, I am a repeat customer because Oreck customer service is so responsive. Claudia is unfailingly helpful and polite...a pleasure to talk with. I also like the fact that this product is made in the USA and that the customer service is not outsourced, but located right here. I will always buy Oreck products...especially the new, lighter models. I am impressed with the various methods of payment which makes this product feasible for those on a fixed income. I always compare Oreck and Bose as each have excellent products and excellent customer service. February 8, 2013
I love this vacuum cleaner!! I've had a lot of vacuum cleaners trying to find "the right one". I found it in this Oreck!! I have some physical problems so I really needed a lighweight, easy to push appliance. This is the lightest vacuum cleaner I've ever had. The swivel feature is fantastic!! And the suction is powerful!! I love it!!! January 14, 2013
Amazing!! In my house I have always been the one that does the vacuuming. I have always researched every vacuum I have owned. I have tried every low cost brand and found myself frustrated. It seemed that every 2-3 years it was time to find the next best one. So last month I decided it was time to make an actual investment and I bought the highest priced vacuum my local store had to offer to replace my old low cost brand. I was excited with the new purchase and went straight to work once I was home. I was very disappointed in the high priced brand and I could not believe that my low cost brand vacuum worked better than the high cost brand even on the hardwoods. So back to the store I went with the high cost vacuum in hand. I couldn't find a different vacuum at the store I liked better and went home empty handed. Later that week I was in a local shopping mall and saw the Oreck store and thought I would go look and see what they had. The first thing that caught me was the design, it looked like an Italian sports car to me. I was able to test it and was amazed how well it worked. The weight was very surprising and it almost felt like a toy. I have never felt a vacuum so light! I had to try it! With the 30 day trial period I had nothing to lose. Well I have had the vacuum a month and I couldn't be happier. The carpets in the house look amazing and this vacuum really pulls the nap back up in the traffic areas. It works fantastic on the hardwoods and tile. I also appreciate that I have a local store that can help me with my maintenance and questions. They were very helpful and I actually had one of my best buying experiences at the Oreck store. The only negative and something I miss is the hose and attachments, but I knew this going in. I will purchase the handheld when I can and that problem will be solved. As long as this vacuum will last me the 7 year warranty I will be a loyal and happy Oreck customer.   December 3, 2012
Great vacuum! I am very happy with the Oreck Magnesium, t is a complete workhorse! January 7, 2013
Great for dog owners and hardwood floor owners The Magnesium is a heavy-duty machine in a light little package. Our yellow lab can shed like the best of them and the Magnesium sucks up the hair in one pass. It also works great transitioning from carpets to hardwoods. I especially love that it lays flat and goes under bookcases and furniture with ease. It's so hard to believe that something so light can work so well! Our old canister vacuum will never be missed!
