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 🙂
OK OK, let’s get to the giveaway…

My old vacuum is on its last leg….and barely hanging on. Would LOVE a new one!
Sara J says
Wow! That photo with all the dirt and dust makes me wonder what I am missing. A new vacuum would be great to help our home be cleaner and healthier.
Selena says
I’d love the lightweight version– we recently finished off our basement, and lugging our other vacuum up and down stairs is no fun. Thanks for the chance!
Rykki says
We are shopping for a new vacuum right now! 🙂 We have newer carpet that we would like to keep nice and clean, but my mom’s hand-me-down vacuum isn’t holding up to the job. I just subscribed via email. Thanks!
Lee Ann says
We just moved from VA (all hardwood floors) to NJ (mostly carpet) – I would ABSOLUTELY love a new vacuum to tackle the “clean up after moving” mess around here!!
Cammy@Serentipity says
I’m actually shopping for a new vacuum now! I’d love to win one, but I’m not sure I can handle seeing how much dirt it pulls from my carpet! {fingers crossed!}

We have had a lot of rain, the dogs are shedding and we are right in the middle of softball season. That means there is red clay all in the car as well. The 13year old central vac went out last week. YES!!!! I could definitely use the NEW Hoover.
Kara says
Would love a new vacuum,
Thanks!
Laura Baltz says
I would love this new vacuum to do my spring cleaning this year, my current one is on its last leg. Nothing like a new vacuum to get you motivated.
jay h says
would love a new vacuum. Thank you for the chance to win one.
Sylvia N says
We’ve already made several repairs to our old vacuum. Would love a new one.
Karen J says
Have been following you for quite a while and you are certainly one of my favorite blogs. I love the new branding.
Karen J says
My hoover wind tunnel was one of the first and has been used really hard. A new one would be great!

I would LOVE a new vacuum!! I have had the same one since I first moved out on my own 12 years ago, and it is on its last leg. (plus my son loves to play with the attachment hoses and has lost one, and the other is held together by electrical tape beacuse he cracked it.) My older son has alergies, so I to vaccum often, and a new one would be wonderful!!
Laura W says
I currently have a vacuum that has been passed down from my parents, to my older brother and his wife, to me. It is a really really old and super heavy. I dread vacuuming because I have to lug it around, the cord is so tangled, old and worn that it never stays wrapped around the peg and the stretchy hose falls off of the top whenever it feels like it – usually when I am the most worked up from trying to push the thing around. I just got married and had a vacuum on my registry but no luck… still stuck with my old one that makes the house smell when I use it, no matter how many potpourri packs you buy to mask it. Anyway…. pick me! pick me! 🙂 I would love a new Hoover vacuum because I would actually vacuum more and have clean floors more often— I would throw my current piece of junk, non-Hoover, out so fast and I would do a happy dance around the living room 🙂 — Thanks for offering this to your readers, very cool!
Denise says
2 kids, 2 dogs, 2 cats. Really could use a new vacuum.:)
Karen Hoyt says
We have two golden retrievers, plus our son’s dog & cat. Enough said. 😀
Marianne says
I would love to have a new vacuum because my current one is at least 10 years old and I am ready for something new and different! I have 2 very busy boys to clean up after!
Pam says
What a great give away! I could put a new vacuum to good use with the amount of dirt my four children and farmer hubby bring into the house!
Sharon H says
Oh and I’m a new subscriber! So glad I found this site!

Tara osborne says
I would love to win this! We homeschool and run a business out of our small home and I could vacumn daily.
Kim says
We bought a canister vacuum when we were first married, and I have come to regret it. It doesn’t work the best and is a pain to drag around, especially to clean the stairs. I would love to switch over to an upright vacuum. Thanks for the opportunity to win!

I would LOVE something this powerful to sweep up all the hair that we get from the eight dogs and seven cats in our multi-generational household! Oh and I have a husband who vacuums too and who would be overjoyed to have something to make that job easier!
Jillian says
I hate to say it, but I don’t own a vacuum, and borrowing one from a neighbor upstairs is surprisingly inconvenient… 😉
Michelle Nienhuis says
I would LOVE a new vacuum cleaner. Ours is currently almost 10 years old! These look really nice. I don’t care which one I win:) Also, have 3 kiddos that keep the home running with the vacuum, and could use an upgrade. thank you!
Melissa says
I have a cat and an old vacuum…enough said-LOL! A new vacuum would be an awesome surprise!! Thanks for the opportunity!
Stephanie says
A new vacuum might be fun! We have 3 different level with carpeting, a dog and a second small home my DH uses during the week since he works out of town!
Tiffany Kamphuis says
I would LOVE a new vacuum! We are actually in the market for a new one at the moment because ours is giving out on us and is extremely loud.
Rebecca Hoffmann says
I would love a new Hoover. We have a Shark now and I dont think it picks up very well.
Maggie says
I have 3 kids at home !
That’s he main reason for a great vacuum 🙂
cassie says
We really need a new vacuum!
Kathy K says
My vacuum is on its last leg. It’s a hoover, so another hoover would be a great replacement.
Thank you… 🙂
Katie V says
I would LOVE a new Hoover vacuum. My current Hoover is old & really needs to be replaced…
Dinah says
I would like a new vacuum. I have a dog and two cats, so there is a lot of fur.
Elaine says
Would LOVE a new vacuum. Mine is out of date and not efficient!
Jessica G. says
I would love to win one of these! We are getting a dog soon and I’m sure this would work better at getting the dog hair than my current vacuum does.
