Is anyone else like me and frantically trying to get their houses ready for guests?? Right now I have a lot of work ahead of me, and the first on my list is getting the carpet sparkling clean. There are pine needles from the tree everywhere!! Has anyone heard anything about the Oreck XL vacuum? It looks like it would really come in handy right now... it has this intellashield technology that even kills bacteria and mildew. Any thoughts?
