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 a new vacuum, and the hovers sound just perfect for our household! We have two beautiful golden retrievers and a cat that shed terribly in this Florida heat. Thanks for considering my entry. I hope I win!! 🙂

We recently moved into a two-story house and I would love another vacuum!
anne woodrow says
I am very scared to find out how much dirt is left behind now. Until now I was secure in my feeling of clean.
Sara says
They look amazing! I am curious how much “extra” dirt they would find at my house.
Melissa says
I would love a new vacuum, especially one that works on hard surfaces. Our current vacuum has been great to have, but it’s getting pretty old.
Michelle says
My vacuum is about 14 years old now and I often wonder how much longer it will last. With my son off in college and also requiring a vacuum, it is a hassle to drive it back and forth when we visit. It would be nice to have a new vacuum and be able to pass down the old one at some point. Thanks for the giveaway!
Jill says
My vacuum is on it’s last breath. The wheels are off, there is duct tape holding parts of it together, and I hav 4 small kids an a chocoate lab who is shedding his winter coat. Thanks for the giveaway!
Nancie says
I could always use a new vacuum. Mine never last very long.
Darlene says
I would love a new Hoover vacuum. Mine is 10 years old. I have three cats so we have lots of cat hair.

I have 2 young boys and my current vacuum takes a beating! I would love a new one so I could take the old one and use it downstairs and not lug vacuums back and forth all the time!

I’d love a new vacuum cleaner because my old one broke, and I’m currently using a shopvac I dragged up from the basement! We have multiple cats and a dog, so these look like either one would be great!
Darlene says
We’re doing some projects around the house and would love to win a stronger vacuum to clean up. Thanks for the chance!
Katie says
Closing on a house tomorrow! Would LOVE a new vacuum to keep our new place clean!!
Monika S says
I subscribe via email to your old site. Love the new look of the new site. Love your mission even more.
Monika S says
I would love to win this because the picture of the dirt that was picked up AFTER you vacuumed scares me, lol. Thank you for the giveaway!
Diana says
I would like a Hoover vacuum to capture the critters (dust bunnies) I am sure are hiding in my 15 year old carpet! Momma’s been really busy with work, and I am afraid that they are “being fruitful and multiplying!!). That needs to be nipped in the bud!
Michele says
I have 4 cats and a dog that all live in my house. They shed so much at this time of year, I could probably construct another animal out of their fur! A new vacuum would be a godsend!
Justina says
The current vacuum we have is really heavy, and we have two levels in our home. A lighter vacuum would be great!
maren says
Maybe today is my lucky day! I have a Hoover Wind Tempo and love it! However, a couple parts have broken recently so this give away would be in perfect timing!
Su says
i would love a Hoover because with a family of six, I vacuum most everyday. A new one would be a blessing to us.
Roxanne Bennett says
I would love a new Hoover. My first one lasted 30 years!!
Jill says
Would LOVE, love, LOVE a new vacuum cleaner! The new website is awesome!
Doina says
I would love a new Hoover vacuum because ours is really old and anything new would be better than what I have. Thanks for the giveaway!
Vicki F. says
I have an old vacuum that is on its last legs. I would love a vacuum that would actually pick up the dirt.
Kimberly says
I am so desperately in need of a vacuum that actually picks up dirt. Extra special bonus if it doesn’t sound like a jet engine taking off and frighten the kids.
Joni says
In our home, there is a mom, dad, two kids, one dog, two cats, and two hamsters. Oh yes, and an old vacuum. A new Hoover vacuum would be like celebrating all of the holidays together at once!

Ethel says
I would love to have new vacuum for new flooring.
Charlotte Powers says
I believe I have had one new vacuum in 37 years of marriage. The one I currently use is my 83 year old mom’s old one. A new one would be great!
