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 just told my husband I wanted a new vacuum for my birthday. (He said no, I have to pick something else, vacuums are not birthday gifts). We recently moved to a new house and I have a mixture of hard floors and carpeting. My current vacuum is ok on carpet but awful everywhere else. The Hoover sounds like just what I am looking for.
Laura Horn says
I would love a new vacuum….might motivate me to get started on my spring cleaning! 🙂
Michelle W says
Until now, we only had one room with carpet in it, so my old ancient Hoover has been good enough. But now we’re adding on to our house: 2 bedrooms and an office with carpet. I really need a new vacuum.
Sandy says
I get andreadekker.com in my email. Nice new site, by the way.
Sandy says
Beautiful black labs leave tumbleweeds of fur on the various floor surfaces….. good thing they are adorable….the dogs, that is. I’d like to try a Hoover….. we now own an old, old, old Bissell.
Julie says
I would love a new Hoover vacuum because my current vacuum cleaner sucks. Or doesn’t suck? You get the picture. 🙂 I need a new one! 🙂

Our vacuum is a bare-bones model that we bought when we were young (and broke). I hate lugging it up and down the stairs of our split-level house, so a new (lighter!) vacuum would be wonderful!
Kristi says
I would love this vacuum. It looks like it could keep my carpets looking new and beautiful!
Angie says
I would love to have a new vacuum! My current one really needs to be retired… 🙂
Monique says
I need a new vacuum cleaner because my old one is almost 24 years old and desperately needs to be replaced. It is so bad, nobody wants to vacuum anymore in our household! We have a cat as big as Garfield and a black dachshund…hair everywhere! I will happily donate my old one to someone who’s into antiques 😉
Jodi talsma says
I would just love a new vacuum. I’ve had mine for ages and got it at a garage sale.
Daina Makinson says
I have four cats and I need Hoover to vacuum up the cat hair! Four cats – lots of hair – Hooray for Hoover!
dana says
I NEED this vacuum!! 3 girls with long hair + lazy cat + and husband that works in “dirt” = one house that needs a Hoover!
Lou says
I would love a new vacuum because using the one I have four dogs. So the vacuum is a very important tool around here! I don’t like using my present one because it is heavy and causes my back to hurt.
I already subscribe to your blog and I love it!!
Janice says
Oh how I would love to have the Hoover Wind Tunnel Air Steerable! We live in the country which means a lot of dirt and allergy material. In addition, there are four grandchildren who come over often, bringing in “play dirt.”
Megan says
With two big dogs (rescued) and a kitty in the house, I am always in search of a great vacuum cleaner! Since our precious second baby came four weeks early, we are paying medical bills and putting up with our old worn out vacuum cleaner. Thanks for doing the giveaway, and congrats on the new site/name change!!
Gwen says
We are in desperate need of a new vacuum. Would love to win one! Thanks for the giveaway!

I would love a new vacuum because mine just isn’t getting the job done anymore!

A new vacuum cleaner would be a treat! With 3 boys and a dog (also a boy), I seem to be in constant need of a new one, lol! 🙂

How many ways do I need a new vacuum? Our current one is 20 years old and barely surving. Spring cleaning is in front of us. We just got several of our oriental rugs clean and I would love a good vacuum to keep them spiffy. Does Nora come with the vacuum? Just kidding but she is so cute in those pictures.
Stefanie Gladden says
i would absolutely love a new hoover vacuum because I’ve always wanted one! I’ve heard they are the best and would love to see for myself!
Cheryl says
I would love a new vacuum because the one I have now is heavy especially when I drag it upstairs and then all the way to the basement.
Caitlin says
I would love a new Hoover vacuum, especially ones you’ve recommended, because my vacuum is very old, heavy, and not a lot of suction anymore. One of these seem to make the job more efficient and fun!
Thanks for the opportunity, Andrea!
Karen says
I would love to win one of these vacuum’s because I have carpet throughout my house and we have two stories. Thanks so much for offering the giveaway and I found out about the giveaway because I had subscribed via email to your blog! 🙂

Why would I love a new Hoover vacuum? A German Shepherd, a cat, 3 active kids, and a husband with asthma & allergies! Need I say more? ;o)
Nancy says
Vacuuming makes me happy!

I would love a new vacuum because I really don’t like mine and would love to have one that I do enjoy using!! (Maybe I would vacuum more often – hahaha)
Shawn-Dell says

Andrea, I’m relatively new to reading your blog…(I already subscribe) Best wishes to you with your address change. Would love to have a new Hoover vac to replace my antique with (or without?) M.I.A. parts. My children are adults. So I just have this one “child” at home doing his best to bring in the dirt, etc that three little kids used to. Oh well!

I’d love a new vacuum. Ours is a hand-me-down and only does a so-so job.
