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 🙂

Eekkk, I need a new vacuum because we have two cats and a new baby and carpet. Nuff said 🙂
Leigh says
My toddler would also enjoy a lightsaber. And I could use come cleaner floors.
Maris Q says
I already own a vacuum, but it’s quite heavy. I would love to start having my 9 year old daughter with vacuuming. She is already a great help with dog care, making her bed, and putting her clothes into the closet or dresser after I do the laundry. But since our vacuum is so heavy, and she’s on the petite side, it’s quite difficult for her to vacuum. We could sure use a vacuum that is lighter!!
Meeka says
If I win I’m giving the vacuum to my Momma…Her’s just broke last week. Thxs for the giveaway…

Oh my goodness! I’m desperate for a new vacuum! Ours is terrible…old, heavy, loud, barely works.
What an awesome giveaway!
Jody says
My husband does our vacuuming, too, and he just mentioned that we could use a new vacuum cleaner. So I would love a new Hoover vacuum.

So my husband was an Resident Director for 7 years, that means we lived in college housing that whole time. Our vacuum was constantly being lent out and in the 9 years that we’ve owned it, it probably has had over 30 years of use! Needless it say it is well-worn, a little broken, and on it’s last leg. I would love to win one of these vacuums!
Renee says
I would love a new Hoover vacuum simply because my old vacuum is just that … old … and not working good anymore.
Suzy Zawadzke says
I could really use a new vacuum. Mine is on its last leg!
Sandy says
I have two kiddos to cleanup after and would love a new vacuum. Also, I’m interested in seeing how these new vacuumes handle the transition between my carpet and hard wood floors.
Nancy says
I really need a new vacuum!
Laura says
I just got my carpets deep cleaned by professionals and I’d like to keep thrm clean regularly now that the hard work has been done. A new Hoover vacuum would be perfect for the job! I am also a subscriber via RSS feed!
michelle says
I would love either of these vacuums. Ive been using the same vacuum for the last 15 years and its massive not to mention very heavy. I have 2 rescue dogs and a cat so I must vacuum several times a weeks. A new light weight vacuum would be awesome!! Thanks for all your helpful tips on your site.

After I saw the photo of what the vacuum picked up after you had already vacuumed, it started me thinking. I didn’t think I could use a new vacuum, but what is my vacuum missing too? Yikes!! I have severe, severe allergies and have to vacuum my floors every single day, sometimes 2-3 times a day. (I should be a professional vacuum person!!) My vacuum has survived 6 children, and numerous other children, that we were gifted with, that came into our lives when they needed a home. It has been to the repair shop so many times. that the lady knows my name when I walk in the door. Maybe, just maybe I might need a new one. This would be awesome to have!!1
Colleen says
I would love love love to win one of these vacuums!! We are planning a move this summer and will be replacing some carpeting before we list. I’d LOVE to be able to keep the new carpet super clean to keep the value in place, PLUS have a great vacuum to take to our new home to super duper clean whatever previous owners may have left behind. Ick…

Hoover is my favorite brand of vacuums! My mom had the one she bought when my parents got married for over 20 years. I bought my current Hoover used so would love to start fresh with some extra power.

I’d *LOVE* to win the either of them, but especially the Hover Air… we are military and we move a LOT, we are actually in house #10 in 12 years! and this is our first home to have a large amount of wood flooring in addition to carpet and my current vacuum doesnt seem to perform very well on the wood, it just doesnt do both surfaces well, so any vacuum that can be lightweight, easy to manuver, and do wood and carpet… I want it! 🙂

Would love to win one of these for my mom for Mother’s day!
Elizabeth says
I would love a new vacuum because I have a dog and four cats. Until recently the cats were indoor/outdoor but a coyote moved into the neighborhood and after two cat attacks (they both survived thank goodness) all kitties are indoor only. That is an amazing amount of hair floating around my house. My current vacuum cost $35 so I think the Hoover High Performance vacuum is just the thing I need to actually keep up with the kitty colored dust bunnies that grow overnight.

Now that I have a baby spending lots of time on the floor I would love to get as much dirt out of the carpet as possible.
