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 🙂

Andrea,
I would LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, to have a new Hoover vacuum. I have animals inside and out and would love a vacuum that could really suck up all that dirt (and what ever else) gets tracked in. Thanks!!!

I have a older vacuum ..I could use this very much updated model in my home…with pets and kids , Lord I would love it!!
Amy Martin says
In 25 years of marriage I’ve always had refurbished vacuums, partly for recycling but mostly because my hubby likes to take old vacuums and get them working again! A new vacuum would be a treat!

I bought a Dyson several years ago that I thought I would love. Instead, it does a terrible job, leaves a stale smell after being used on the carpets and is so heavy to lug up and down the stairs. I would love either of these Hoovers!
Sheila says
I would love to win a new vac. Two little girls at home lots to clean up after!
LINDA RIFFENBURG says
Love your blog! I just turned 60 on 4/6, my anniversary is 4/18, and my 27 year old Heavy Hoover upright is never going to die. I am way overdue for one of the modern Lighter models. Please pick me. Keep up your sharing!
Susan Ball says
I would love a Hoover vacuum. When we built our house we put in hardwood and tile floors because of my husbands allergies. I never thought I would need a vacuum but one would certainly come in handy with three grandchildren and a husband that farms. Sometimes a broom and dust mop just doesn’t do a good enough job.
Gina W says
We haven’t bought a new vacuum in about 10 years and we are way past due for a new one! I follow through the RSS feed and love to see your updates pop up.
Rebecca says
Our current vacuum is 7 years old and it shows. Our entire apartment is carpeted – even the kitchen and bathroom! I kid with my husband that there is a “pre-vacuum” step that just lifts up 1 layer of gunk and hair (that we then manually pick up) and then the “real vacuum” step. Who knows if it’s actually doing anything different but I would LOVE a new Hoover vacuum!
laura says
Need a new Hoover!
Sheri says
I would LOVE a new Hoover vacuum! I have carpets throughout my house with 3 kids! I NEED a new hoover vacuum! Every time my Boy Scout goes out into the woods he brings back most the forest with him. I am constantly vacuuming! Please pick me, pick me!! Thanks 🙂

Thank you for offering this giveaway!! It would be wonderful to win one of these vacuums since I have 2 dogs, 2 cats (had 5 but the older ones passed away) and a daughter who loves horses and playing in the dirt. It’s been difficult to keep up on the house work since I’ve started working 2 jobs. It would really help get us a handle on the constant pet hair that’s never ending!!! Thanks again for the chance to win one of these AMAZING vacuums!!!
Peitra says
I have two children under three! Hoover, help!!!
Karen says
I really need a vacuum cleaner: just moved into home with carpet (first time in years); and I’m getting a dog!! Both vacuums are very impressive- thanks for bringing them to my attention,

I would love a new Hoover vacuum because we have a cat, 2 dogs, 2 sons, and a daughter with eczema & allergies. Keeping our carpets and furniture clean and free of pollutants is so very important to keep our household a friendly & safe environment for our girl.
Kathy Cragg says
I would love either of the new vacs. I have a cat & a dog and this is my first week of retirement. It would be great to have a new “toy” that would make my new life easier. Thanks for the chance to win!

I would use this to vaccum up the food that somehow ends up all over the entire house even though the the kids are limited to the diningroom!
Jamie Aris says

Andrea Jared says
I would LOVE a Hoover vacuum! My husband and I have owned a Hoover before and loved it, but the last time we bought a different brand because it was on sale and it’s only lasted about a year. blahhh… I need a new vacuum!

I would LOVE to win one of these beauties! We currently borrow my brothers vacuum when we need it, so it would be wonderful to have one in my home.
Annette Bennett says
I would love a new Hoover vacuum because I have SO much dirt to get rid of!!!!
Audrey Reed says
I’d LOVE a vaccum that picks up dirt so well that I’d get to skip a few extra days between vacuuming bc each cycle would b starting with a cleaner carpet than what I’m starting with now!!! Thank you Hoover for upping the possibilities on house cleaning!!

I would love to win either of these vacuums. We’re closing on our new house on Friday and a new vacuum to go with it would be amazing!
Donna Horton says
I would need and would love to have a new Hoover. In recent years I purchased a more expensive brand in hopes that it could handle the dog hair (I have a great pyrnese that lives indoors), even though it is marketed as a pet vacuum it has never done a great job. Prior to that purchase I was always a Hoover customer and think I need to change back.
Thanks for doing the giveaway.

I’d love a new Hoover. My Dyson is about to give out after cleaning up after a kid, 3 cats, and a dog.
