The New Hoover Product Line!

look at this amazing line-up of Hoover vacuums — um, I’ll take one of each

Did you know that I LOVE to clean?

It’s true — not only do I love the end result of a clean house, I also really enjoy the cleaning process. And one of my most-loved cleaning activities is vacuuming. I can even overlook a bit of clutter in a freshly vacuumed room because my eyes gravitate to those delicious vacuum lines on the carpet!

I know I’m sick!

So can you just imagine my delight when Hoover contacted me to help them promote some of their new cleaning products? I certainly didn’t have to think long before I responded with an enthusiastic YES!

yup, they have carpet cleaners

Not only did I get a super fun trip to Chicago, a chance to visit the famous International Home and Housewears Show, an opportunity to meet some of my favorite bloggers “in real life”, and exposure to a great PR company; I also got to try a bunch of brand new Hoover products. {I’ll be trying more products throughout the year as well.}

Can life get any better!

Hoover’s new line of steam cleaners — can’t wait to try these!

The only downside to this trip is that my feet are SO sore. I wore comfortable shoes, but honestly, I think I did more walking in 2 days that I normally do in 2 weeks… it was worth it though!

Hoover & Dirt Devil:

Did you know that Hoover and Dirt Devil are like brother and sister?

It’s true, I got to see all kinds of new Dirt Devil products too.

And I was NOT disappointed!

I drooled over this wall of Dirt Devil hand vacs

So apparently, I’m the only person left who still calls these “dustbusters”! I was quickly corrected by the Hoover reps and told they were actually “hand vacuums”. I guess that sounds a little nicer…but I’ll probably keep calling them dust-butster!

Any other dust-buster fanatics out there?

I go through at least one hand vac every two years — but I’m sure it’s because I purchase inferior brands! I’m due for another one {hint hint Hoover!} I quickly tested out a few Dirt Devil and Hoover hand vacs while I was at the show, and I can not wait to tell you about their newest hand vac. So many amazing new features, I’m already addicted!

this is their new, heavy-duty pressure washer AND wet/dry vac

I don’t think this pressure washer is in stores yet, but I’ll be ready to buy mine when it comes out. We are in the market for a reasonably priced pressure washer for all our exterior siding, windows, woodwook, sidewalks, etc… and I think this just might be the one.

Oh, it feels good to find THE ONE!

the new Shred Devil — can’t wait to give these a try!

This post hardly scratches the surface of all the amazing products I saw in Chicago… but don’t worry, I’ll be back with more specific product reviews, and a few giveaways!

Stay tuned 🙂

Hotel Room Tour:

I just have to give you a quick tour of my hotel room…it was gorgeous!

We stayed at the Affinia Hotel in downtown Chicago — right off the Magnificent Mile. They had super comfortable beds, a choice of 6 different pillows, really cute toiletries {you know I’m a sucker for toiletries}, HGTV, and lots of snacks 🙂

I tried to take a video of my hotel room and of the Hoover booth, but apparently I’m not the best videographer because I started to get motion sick while editing.

So even though I’m super excited about my new Flip cam, I think I’ll just stick with snap shots for now!

Thanks again to the folks at Hoover and the amazing, super organized, totally on-top-of-it people at Current.

I had a blast!

I was given a free trip, flip cam, and Hoover products for review. However, I was in no way obligated to write this post. As always, my unwavering love of cleaning and my overly biased opinions for quality cleaning products are all mine!
