UPDATE: This giveaway is now closed.
Congrats to: Elizabeth (rogerseliz@….) and Rebecca (rebecca.lammi@…)
In case you missed it, yesterday was the BIG DAY when I launched my “new” website. So of course, I thought we should celebrate today with a fun giveaway!
Well, it just so happens that my friends over at Hoover recently launched some new products of their own… and they’ve graciously offered to give away TWO of their newest vacuums to help us celebrate!
1. The Hoover High Performance (available at Walmart)
2. The Hoover Wind Tunnel Air Steerable (available on Amazon.com)
And since it’s THAT time of year when we’re all trying to “spring clean” and organize our homes, I figured new vacuums would be the perfect giveaway!
First, let me tell you a bit about these brand new vacuums — and yes, I was lucky enough to receive BOTH vacuums to use in our home. I’m also lucky enough to have a husband who is willing to vacuum — but unfortunately, Hoover can’t help you with that one 🙂
1. Hoover High Performance:
This vacuum really IS “high performance”.
This is how much junk it sucked out of our living room carpet AFTER I vacuumed with our previous vacuum, and I usually vacuum twice a week! (I included my hand in the picture so you could tell just how much dirt and dust this really is)
It’s super powerful, and seamlessly maneuvers from carpet to hard floors with the twist of a knob — making it the perfect tool for our home.
It also has a boatload of “on board” attachments that transform this vacuum into a vicious pet-hair-grabber, crumbs-in-the-crack-finder, and kid-mess-picker-upper.
Or just a fun “light saber” toy for Nora 🙂
The Hoover High Performance is reasonably priced at around $175 and currently available at most Walmart stores.
2. Hoover Wind Tunnel Air Steerable:
Since our house has a basement, a main floor, a second story, and a heated outbuilding (with carpet), we frequently have to lug our vacuum up and down stairs… and to the outbuilding to vacuum, so I’ve been on the look-out for a light-weight, affordable vacuum that still has LOTS of suction and power.
Well, the Hoover Air Steerable is all that and more — plus, it’s super easy to maneuver around (and under) furniture.
It’s super powerful, but extremely easy to lift up and down stairs, or wherever you need it (it’s less than 14 lbs.) I’ve actually used it a couple times to vacuum out our cars because it has a nice long hose and great attachment options.
The last time I checked, the Hoover Wind Tunnel Air Steerable was on sale for only $159 via Amazon.com!
Hoover has a really fabulous new marketing campaign for these two vacuums — I absolutely LOVE the commercials!
This is the High Performance commercial:
This is the Air Steerable commercial:
Aren’t they clever!
I think moms and dads everywhere will resonate with these commercials 🙂

I have an old Kirby and it is very heavy to carry up and down the stairs. The hose has duct tape on it as a hole developed from much use. Love your site.

I would like to win a Hoover vacuum because my kids broke the handle size adjustment piece on it. It still looks like your vacuuming but the handle is really just sliding up & down, lol.
Laura Doerr says
I would LOVE a new Hoover vacuum because I inherited one (a Kirby) from my husband’s ex-wife and I loathe it. I weighs more than I do and it is really difficult to change to tools; as a result I vacuum WAY less than I should! Thanks for all of your great info …love the new look!

Would LOVE a new vacuum! 🙂

I just moved, so a new vacuum would be perfect to make sure my new apartment stays looking nice.
Johanna says
I have a five year old, a 2 1/2 year old, a 5 month old and the husband and dog. I vacuum every day, sometimes more than once a day. I would love a new vacuum, especially one with that kind of power as those!
Mary says
My current vacuum is heavy and clumsy. I would love to have a new one. Then the heavy one can stay in the basement for use there.
Mary B says
With 3 very active kids I need all the help I can get in dirt control!

Christina Limauro says
I am a newly single mother of a 29 month old. I recently moved back in with my mother who has a dog that sheds like crazy (lab shepherd mix) and two cats. My son has sensitive skin and we are constantly battling the hair. I have to vacuum everyday. Her vacuum is old and does not pick up the hair very well. Our clothes are constantly covered with hair. I have to carry lint rollers just to leave the house. A new vacuum to help battle this would be AMAZING!

***Dearest Andrea,***
I truly need a new vacuum bc. my only other is nearly broken – it keeps loosing the hose and it is driving me nuts. Morover it is not strong enough but rather a joke. As a freelance journalist I do not earn enough at the moment to replace it, so I would feel truly gifted if I’d receive it! I will be thinking of you every moment I will vacuum! 🙂 Best, Liesl
*** P.S.: I like your blog a lot, I do not read many blogs but yours I do! ***<3
Tammy Smith says
We have to vacuum everyday thanks to our lovely dog & a new vacuum would make it so much more enjoyable!
Rebecca says
Because I’m getting married next weekend and two boys have been living in our home for the past year and barely cleaned! I have lots to vacuum up! 🙂
Help Hoover!! 🙂
Kelly says
I need a new vacuum cleaner for many reasons. Next week I’m moving into a new house. It’s a larger house with a lower level. I would like a vacuum cleaner for the lower level:). My current vacuum cleaner (Dyson animal) is not working well since last week. I now need two new vacuum cleaners. One more reason for really needing a new vacuum cleaner …. I have 3 large dogs.
Terry says
To clean my newly shampooed carpets better than my old vacuum. 🙂

I would love a new vacuum because the vacuum I received as a wedding gift is starting to go down hill. The only way we can get it to work well is to take it apart, and my husband uses the leaf blower outside to clean out all the filters, etc. Kind of a pain…so I’d love a new vacuum! Especially one as fancy as these two!
