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 love to have the new Hoover vacuum because my current vacuum is on its way out. It doesn’t have the suction that it used to when it was new. A new powerful vacuum would be wonderful.
Nicole says
we are about to carpet our basement and it would be awesome to have a lighter weight vacuum (or second vacuum!) for 3 floors of cleaning!
Jessica says
With 3 kids and a dog, and living on a dirt road, my floors are a magnet for dust and dirt. A good vacuum for carpets and wood floors would be great!
Heidi says
I’m entering to win the vacuum for my husband’s co-worker, Shellee, who recently lost all her earthly possessions in a house fire. She has nothing and is starting from scratch, and while thankful for many generous donations of used clothing and home products, would likely be so thankful and appreciative for a brand new vacuum.

I am a new subscriber on RSS and this giveaway couldn’t come at a better time! I just started looking at vacuums again because my current one is sadly on its way out!
I need something with a lot of suction and maneuverability. I have 4 kids under 5 in my home everyday and a dog and husband with terrible indoor allergies! AND it’s time to give this house a much needed cleaning. Great giveaway!
Brigitte
PS: I love the new look!
Kimberly says
I would love to win a new vacuum cleaner, ours are getting old and since we have a zoo and 2 kids, I definitely need a new high powered cleaner!
Diane L says
I’m getting married this up coming weekend and this would make for a great addition to my new household as we have two cats and a pregnant room mate, my sister.
And I love the new look.
Laura S says
Our vacuum is well overdue for replacing, but we have been putting it off forever. It would be nice not to have to run over the same spot 10 times in attempts to get the carpet clean!

I would love a new vacuum because I bought an el cheapo one and could really use something to deep clean these old carpets. I am thankful for what I have, but would love a new one. 🙂
Jessie says
We moved into our house almost a year ago, but I still don’t have a vacuum I love. Someone gave us one, which is a blessing, but it’s old and heavy. I would love a lightweight one. I might actually use it more often!

My vac broke down about a month ago. My daughter have been (crawling) using a shop-vac since it broke. Waiting for tax rebate to buy a new one.
Lorrie Jackson says
Oops, I meant my daughter and I. And I have four children we homeschool.
Nicole C says
I’d love to win a new vacuum because I’ve got 1 dog, 2 cats, 3 kids and a husband who likes wearing shoes in the house and my current vac has lost it’s suck 🙂
Michelle Aitken says
I would love to win a new Hoover vacuum because we just installed new carpet and the vacuum that we currently have does not work well AT ALL. Want to care for our investment. 🙂
Jen G says
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. I subscribeto SOL.
Jenny says
I would love a new vacuum. I have had the same Oreck for almost 15 years and I think it is time for it’s retirement. We also have a dog so I vacuum at least 2 times a week!
Nicole says
I would love a new vac. I have an LG one but broke the handle so I can’t use any of the tools.
Emily K says
I would love the new vaccum because we have three cats and a dog. It would replace a very worn out current vaccum. 🙂

Lynne says
Would love to win a new vacuum. I hate lugging my super heavy vacuum up and down our stairs!
Lois says
I would love a new Hoover because my current vacuum cleaner is an old, old, old one inherited from my parents. It is not picking up the dirt very well. These look great!

I use an old vacuum from my in-laws. I would love new vacuum that is easier to carry up and down stairs as mine is very heavy!
Virginia says
We had two vacuum sweepers….one for our downstairs and one for our upstairs…our son didn’t have a vacuum sweeper and my husband and I thought it was more important that he have one than us having two for the convenience of it….but it would certainly make our life easier if we didn’t have to lug our sweeper up and down the stairs. By the way, I love your blog!
Cristin says
I would love a new Hoover because my adorable little dog sheds like nobody’s business in the spring!
Melissa says
I would love a new vacuum to keep all the dog hair in our house under control! 🙂
Jana @ delectablymine says
I would love to receive a new vacuum! I’ve never owned a really good one of my own and feel like it’s about time!
Charity says
I have hardwood floors and carpet and my current vacuum just can’t keep up with my twice a day vacuum routine due to a shedding dog and the kiddos a babysit. I would LOVE a new one!!
Liesel says
Because I feel like my carpet is still dirty after I vacuum, and I KNOW my pile of dirt would be bigger than yours!
Tami says
My vacuum just broke a couple days ago, and I haven’t replaced it yet. Would LOVE to win one of these! 🙂
Stacey Kierman says
Help! I need a new vacuum. With five kids, two cats and a dog and rabbit, I keep wearing out my old vacuum. This would be wonderful!
