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…

Cool giveaway. My vaccum cleaner is gradually falling apart and being mended with duct tape. Would love to win because the vacuum “sale” prices are a joke.

I would love a new Hoover vac to help with all the dust bunnies and animal hair. We currently live on a farm and we have “strange” things on the floor on any given day. ๐ Thank you for the chance to win.

Mercy me, I need a new vacuum so very much. My husband has to take mine to work about once a week to use the air compressor to get all the dirt/dust out of places it gets stuck. He would be ecstatic, I would be ecstatic, all God’s children would be ecstatic if a new vacuum came to live at our house!!!
Margo W says
I would love a new Hoover because I hate my current vacuum. It is heavy, loud, does not have a way to limit the amount of suction and the tool attachment is awkward to use.
Cat says
Hi Andrea, as I mentioned yesterday (and thanks for the reply back – so nice of you), I believe with my enormous task of cleaning up after the water leak that damaged our lower level of the ole farmhouse, a new Hoover would be just the ticket to keep the motivation going. With horses, cats & dogs, there is a lot of trekking going on anyway, and since we are about to put in the new flooring and carpeting, this will surely assist in keeping them clean. Thanks for giving us the chance to enter…..my last big win was on a whopping $2.00 Texas lottery scratch off ticket. ๐
Evelyn says
Wow! What a generous giveaway! I live in a multi-level home & a lightweight yet powerful vacuum would be wonderful. Thanks & congratulations on your new website!

Dragging the central vac up to the 2nd story is no fun!

I need a new vacuum because my current one is held together by tape, I’m not kidding!! And I have kids in and out all day. This would be a major blessing.

I would love to win because my old Hoover vacuum is on its last legs. It served us ell, but I am ready for a new one.
Trisha says
Love to have a new vacuum. We have a black lab CCI (canine companion for independence) for my daughter. Needless to say he sheds a lot! What a gift that would be for us.

I would love a new hoover because I have two young sons and find it impossible to keep things tidy, this may actually make the challenge less of a chore ๐

There is something about cleaning with a good vacuum that *almost* makes the chore fun. I would love a new vacuum. The vacuum we use in our basement is broken and in order to function somewhat normally, we have to lower the handle all the way down to the ground–so basically, we have to crawl to vacuum. Yep, time for a new vacuum!
Angie says
I would love to have a new vacuum. I’ve had mine for 10 years and it has seen better days. It was quite busy when we had a dog in the house and busy now with my little ones running around. I love your blog and facebook posts. I enjoyed your kitchen remodel and you did a wonderful job. I love all the white. I love the ‘simplify’ sign, something I’m constantly striving for. God bless you and your family.

I need a new vacuum so bad! I live in Las Vegas which is extremely dusty to begin with. I have 2 beautiful, but mess making, children and a dog, 2 cats and 3 guinea pigs all living in the house. My old vacuum just broke, so I would really love to win one of these fabulous Hoovers! Thank you. I absolutely love your site. It helps me manage all the chaos in my home ๐
