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 🙂

I would love a new Hoover vacuum! My old vacuum just isn’t getting the dirt and dog hair up. I usually resort to my handheld vacuum, which is a lot of extra work to get the floors clean.

Much like your daughter, my son loves Vacuums and we would be grateful to have such a great new piece of equipment in our house to help vacuum up dust and cat hair!
Faith says
Id like a new Hoover vacuum because I’m in need of a new one! My old one wasn’t working ski had to get rid of it.
Natalia says
I love receiving your posts in my e-mail! I read them during my lunch break and it’s the perfect boost! Thank you!
Oh, and I love, love, love the new changes you made!!!
Natalia says
Oh, how I need a vacuum!!! It’s on my “bucket list” to purchase since last year.
The one we currently have is very, very old, and very, very heavy. (My husband bought it – he liked the heavy-duty feel to it, but he’s NOT the one vacuuming!) It’s so hard to push it around the house, and I’m sure it’s only moving the dust around instead of sucking it in…. I only use it to vacuum the very large rug in our living room, and use the broom and mop for the rest of the hardwood floor… I need a new vacuum. Soon…
Anna Alley says
It would be great to win a new vacuum as our old one has nearly bit the dust! I’ve been on the lookout for a new one, but choosing one for everyday use sure is hard.

The Canister on my Dyson has cracked and I am afraid I will have to purchase a new vacuum very soon. A New Hoover would be perfect!
michelle r says
I would love a new Hoover. I would definitely keep it downstairs so I didn’t have to carry one up and down.
G. Stewart says
Hi, Andrea. I would like to win a new Hoover because I’m on floor duty, not my wife, at our house. The new Hoovers have lots of power, making the vacuuming a manly job! Thank you!
Jennifer says
I was really impressed by the amount of dust your Hoover collected from your floor, Andrea. Thank you for this opportunity to win one. I would really love a new vacuum to help with the allergies my son and I have. I am a subscriber to your emails and I like you on FB.

These Hoover Vacuums look like the perfect fit for cleaning motivation. Strap on my mp3, and zoom, off I go!
Judy says
I’d love a new Hoover vacuum as our current rental home has lots of carpet instead of hardwood floors and our vacuum can’t keep up.
Karen Nelson says
Oh my! I need a new vacuum desperately. Ours is on its last leg and we have moved to the dustiest house I have ever seen! These dust bunnies multiply like crazy!
caroline says

caroline says
The vacuum I have not is terrible and cheap. I have had such bad luck with vacuums, I opted for a cheap one this time. My house it always dusty and my precious dog, Smudge does not help matters! She sheds and thinks the vacuum is an evil demon! Love the new blog!!
Andrea says
Oh, how I need a new vacuum! I just gave one away and the one I’m using is on it’s last leg.
I’m a subscriber, also.
Margaret says
I need a powerful vacuum to spring clean!
carrie says
I would love a new vacuum such as the Hoovers above to help keep the dog hair from two loved pets under control more than I am able with my vacuum now. I really like the attachments connected to the vacuum for easy access 🙂
Joy A says
I would love a new Hoover vacuum because we have two levels in our house and the vacuum cleaner is so heavy to carry up and down…so I don’t…very often. 🙂

I would love to win a new vacuum. Ours needs at least a new hose and we currently don’t have the money to get one. This would be a huge help.
Ann says
Its time for spring cleaning & I love the way you describe these powerful vacuums! Sounds like something I would use lots!
Debbie says
I’d love to get a new vacuum for my mom…hers is old and bulky and is practically on its last legs.
Kelly says
I would LOVE a new vacuum because my old friend Betty Bissell has lost suction over time. I have a new cream colored labrador who leaves fur all over my home 🙂 I could really use a new vacuum with improved suction capability.
Andrea, love your new site. I have subscribed via RSS for quite a while now.
Laura Horn says

I would love and need a new vacuum – as I just broke the powerhead on our central vacuum(which I have never liked) – I vacuumed up an area rug – one too many times! Love your new site.
Michelle says
I would love to win one of these vacuums!! My vacuum i have right now is held together w duct tape and both wheels have come off the front of it. I have a dog, a four year old and a 3 month old that will be crawling soon! Clean floors are a must!
Shelly says
I need this new vacuum because I hate my dyson!! SO hard to move around and use the hose and attachments!!
