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 would love a new Hoover vacuum because my 9 month old son still finds things to put in his mouth even after I have just vacuumed.
Corri S says
I previously bought an inexpensive vacuum and I am paying for it now because I got exactly what I paid for: CHEAP 🙁
Corri S says
I just subscribed via email! Thanks
Marcia says
I have 2 dogs whose constant shedding leave my house a hairy mess. I would love a new efficient vacuum.
Yvonne says
I have a 2 story house and it is such a pain to carry our heavy vac up and down the stairs. I would love one to keep up stairs, so maybe I will vacuum up there more 🙂
Lea says
The pets are shedding and the pollen is falling!! Two great reasons for a new vacumn.

Would love a new vacuum. Ours is 27 year old and not so good anymore.
If I use the new one, I would probably be surprised how clean everything would be!
Laura says
I would love to win because we have a dog that sheds a ton! It would great to have something powerful enough to clean it all up!
Katie says
We just built a new house and this one is a two-story. I would love to have a vacuum I could keep on the second floor.

With four boys ages 6 and under, I can never keep up! A great vacuum would be a perfect help in our very busy days and nights.
vicki borla says
I have a brand that is supposed to be one of the best. I am finding out different. I would love a new vacuum to get all of the dirt that the other left behind.
Dawn W. says
We SO need a new vacuum! I’ve been searching Craigslist for a few weeks and this would be great 🙂
Tara says
I would love a new vacuum… a couple years ago I dished out the 450 some dollars for a fancy dyson figuring it would fulfill all my vacuuming needs for years to come( we have 2 large dogs, 4 cats (all inside), a 10 year old boy, and a new baby on the way) However, the dyson has seemed to loose suction (which it states it will “never” do) and my faith that it will last is continuing to deplete… So I am on the lookout for a vacuum that will out-do the Dyson!
Sarah Rozema says
With 4 kids 4 and under, my home is a constant mess of crumbs, food and and multiple other messes. The vacuum we got when we got married is just not keeping up with the demands of our busy, messy family. I’d love a new vacuum!

I need a new vacuum so very badly! I have been using my husbands old “bachelor” days vacuum and it just doesn’t get the job done very well. On another note, congrats on the new site/name! 🙂

Lisa C. says
I would love a new Hoover Vacuum, my current vacuum is getting to where it just doesn’t pick up like it should. With a long haired cat in the house a good vacuum is a must!!!
Katy says
I would love a new hoover to help keep my floors clean. I homeschool my children and we are all constantly outside playing and working…then back in, brining dirt in with us! It would help us keep our floors nice and dirt-free! 🙂

We have a dog and a newborn – a new vacuum would make cleaning loads easier!

Beatriz says
Why would I love a new vacuum? Well I hate replacing bags and mine may die any day. Mainly the die any day thing and I have to say good vacuums are expensive. Fingers crossed!
Bethany McDonnell says
I would love to have a vacuum that could so easily go from carpet to floor…plus I love how much dirt that got up…oh, to think what dirt must be at my house!
Lindsey Jo says
I would love a Hoover vacuum because the new house we just rented is a split level, and there is SO much vacuuming to do! My current vacuum doesn’t seem to be able to handle it all. Hoover to the rescue!
Nelly says
I would love a new vacuum. My old one that I’ve had for about 29 years is in need of replacing but have not been sure what to buy. Love the new website.
Katie says
Oh boy – a new vacuum couldn’t come at a better time! The one we got as a wedding present bit the dust (no pun intended!) a while ago and I’ve been lugging my husband’s shop vac in from the garage whenever it’s time to vacuum. Thanks for the chance to win!
