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…

I would really love to win one of these. Our current vacuum has been slowly loosing suction and I know pretty soon it just isn’t going to work at all anymore.

I’m subscribed to you.
Lisa K says
I would love to win this because our vacuum has seen better days! Thanks for the giveaway!
Nina says
I do subscribe via email! I love all of the “changes” and the new look too!
susan g says
Both of these vacuums sound great! I’d love a new Hoover because we have two very old and heavy vacuums and neither work very well. Thanks for the giveaway!
ra thompson says
my vaccuum over 35 yr old…would surely like one more light weight with sucking power..; )
Anne A says
Would absolutely love to win a new Hoover vacuum! My current machine is too heavy and has too many parts! We have multiple floor surfaces and it is a process switching out all the parts to go from carpet to hardwood floors! Hope I win! Thanks for the giveaway!
Alissa says
I have a Hoover Wind-tunnel that is almost 10years old and I still love it! A new one would be nice so we can put the old one in the basement for the boys to use. They love to sweep, and a 2 & 4 yr old can be pretty hard on a sweeper. The accessories are their favorite toys 🙂
Nina says
I would love a hoover vacuum because I have a golder retriever who sheds A LOT and we vacuum quite often because of this. I have also heard from many friends they are the BEST!
Joy Logan says
I would love a new Hoover vacuum because it is softball season and I have two kids 9 & 11. The dirt is taking over!
Marina says
I would LOVE to win one of these awesome Hoover vacuums for our new home! We have tile throughout the house, along with several area rugs, and a new Hoover vacuum would be the perfect housewarming gift ;o)
Sandy K says
I really could use a good vacuum like that. My daughter lost her house to foreclosure and had to file bankruptcy. My daughter, son-in-law and two grandsons ages 9 and 12 have been living with us now for 12 months. Sure wish I had a bigger house! But this vacuum would sure help. I am already a subscriber. Thank you, I love your blog!
Laura Edgar says
I would love it be as a gift to ME. My birthday is the following day. What better gift that something that makes my work easier?:)
I also subscribed via email.
kathy v says
so much for “never loses suction”, but our current vac does a poor job indeed and is a bear moving around.
Chelsea M says
I subscribed to your emails just yesterday! (and I follow you on FB)
Becky says
I would love to win one of these amazing Hoover vacuum cleaners. My husband is very sensitive to environmental allergens and I need all the help I can get to keep our home dust & dander free. Plus we have two little pups that seems to track leaves and dirt into our house while running behind the teenager (which, by the way, could be the potential future operator of that new Hoover).
Chelsea M says
Thanks for the giveaway! I would love to have a new Hoover for our home. We have a son that just turned 3 and a cat, and we cannot afford a “fancy” vacuum. I love to vacuum at lea”st 3-4x per week and my son absolutely LOVES to help. He loves to vacuum! He has a toy vacuum but he prefers to help with the real thing. I need to take video in case this is a “phase”, so I can show him in the years to come just how much he loves it now! LOL Hoover is a household name!
Lori says
Well, I have a dog, a twelve year old boy and a dusty house. I think I could vacuum everyday! Great giveaway!
Lizanne says
I recently discovered your blog, and I think it’s great…very helpful, down-to-earth, and fun! I would love to have one of these new Hoover vacuums because when my husband and I got married 1-1/2 yrs ago, neither of us wanted to give up our respective vacuums. I like mine, he likes his…but both machines have shortcomings. Either of these models would be exactly what we both want in a vacuum…it would be nice to consolidate and have just one vacuum cleaner to store. Plus, we have 3 cats, and living just outside NYC, things get extremely dirty.
Diane Dykstra says
Since we have been married for just about 40 years, needless to say my vacuum is quite old. It would be really nice to win a new one. Thank you.
Janis S says
I already subscribe to your emails and really look forward to receiving them.
Kathy C says
I have a Hoover already, but it’s getting pretty old. I would love a new vacuum.
Amy D says
….and I already subscribe via email.
Lauren says
I would like a new vacuum because mine is heavy to lug up and down the stairs.
Janis S says
I could sure use a new vacuum. Mine doesn’t do a great job of picking up pet hair from the carpet. I have a long-haired dachshund who loves to roll on his back on the carpet, really digging in the hair!
Amy D says
Well this is timely! My vacuum has just died….I would love to try out a new brand…and HELLO…that is amazing what it got out of your carpet AFTER you vacuumed with your old one. Eww! I need!! Really impressed with that!
Cindy says
I would love a Hoover vacuum because my vacuum is currently on its last leg (makes a very loud humming noise when I use it).
Norma says
I would love to have one of these vacuums. I love how they can be used in either carpet and floor. My current vacuum seems to leave a trail behind so I definitely need a new one!
julia says
I already subscribe to your blog!
Jamie says
I would love to win a new vacuum as mine is broken. It only stays on bare floors so it is really hard to push over carpet which is most of our house.
Andreea says
I would love to win one of these vacuums! We are buying a house and I will definitely need one! The one that I have now is perfect for a 1 bdrm apartment, but not for a 4 bdr house! Thanks!
Amy says
Thanks for such a generous giveaway! I would love a second vaccum to keep in our basement.
Shirley M says
I subscribe via e-mail 🙂
julia says
I would love a new vacuum because mine just does NOT work well and with three small children it is a nightmare cleaning.
Holly F. says
I would love a new vacuum. The old one is SUPER heavy and I wouldn’t have to lug it up and down the stairs any more!
Shirley M says
Awesome that it sucked up so much dirt after you vacuumed with your other vacuum!
I would love a new Hoover Vacuum because we will be moving in a couple of months and my current vacuum is almost dead.

Love the new site!! I have my daughters reading you too, and for Easter dinner I asked Amy to bring a chocolate desert, and where did she go for an idea?? to your site, and desert was delicious!!! Thank you for all your ideas and advice, I really appreciate what you do. Also, I would love a new vacuum because mine is giving up the ghost.
Carol says
I would love to win a Hoover vacuum because with 4 boys (17-7) you can never keep the house too clean…and especially since they have managed to clog the last two vacuum cleaners we have owned!
