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…

Hi Andrea,
I love your new website, the simplicity of it and a focus on the “real” of life. ๐
I would love to win a new vacuum cleaner for a number of reasons: I love the idea that I can vacuum my car with it, it would be so much easier than my “pull behind” model, which is falling apart and so stinky when we vacuum (with no result from change of filter or bag) and the ease of going from carpet to tile.
Laura Curtis says
I’d love another vacuum for the same reason as you listed, basement! I hate lugging our vacuum up & down, it’s such a pain… plus having the attachments & the long hose would be amazing for the stairs.
Jessica says
I would love a new vacuum. using a hand-me-down, and the belts constantly require changing.
Kristin Troska says
I would love one of these powerful vacuums to clean up cat hair left behind by my three nice little kitties.
Tonya says
Yes, yes we need one of these! I’m a single mom of 2, with my Grandson also living with me. I would vacuum to my heart’s delight ๐ Hehe
Jenny says
I would love a new Hoover!
Anna says
I would LOVE one of these vacuums… As much as I would like it for myself, I actually would be giving it as a gift to my friend who’s facing some financial difficulty and doesn’t have a vacuum. She has been borrowing them from other people to keep her house cleaned but I can understand what a pain that is. Her home isn’t huge and there isn’t a ton of traffic but even still to not be able to vacuum at least once a week when she has company coming over can be frustrating.
Lynn says
I have been looking for a great vacuum and if you’ve already “road-tested” it we know it’s going to be great! Thanks for the giveaway.
Tina McLarty says
I was just thinking that we need a new vacuum!
Angela Peardon says
Three levels of cleaning here and a back and knees getting older by the minute!

Amy Ryan-Karasinski says
I would love a new vaccum! I have four children and a dog. I believe my vac is 20 years old:)
Debra Schramm says
I broke the on/off switch on my vacuum. It still works but is quite annoying to turn on and off. I also have harwoods and carpet and would love to have the one with that fabulous easy turn knob for the different floor types.
Jenny says
I would love a lightweight and powerful vacuum! Two kids, a cat and a husband who wears shoes in the house despite my best efforts! I need help!
Julie says
I would love to win this vacuum…I have 5 children with lots of allergies. Would be a huge blessing to win!
Sarah says
I would love to not have to carry our current vacuum up and down the stairs- it scares me every time!

I moved in with my boyfriend recently and he is a neat freak! I would use this new vaccum to impress/please him with a clean, vacuumed house every now and then.
Jess says
I just discovered your blog a couple of weeks ago and just love it! If you recommend these vacuums, then I’ve got to have one, too!
Angela B. says
I would love one of these new vacuums! I live on a farm and we are always tracking in dirt and my old vacuum is soooo ready to retire! I love your new (and your old) site and subscribed via email too. Thank you so much for all you do. You are an inspiration!
Erica Rawson says
Love the lightweight Hoover!
Rebecca E says
I would love a new vacuum because the one I have doesn’t always work the way I want it to and with a 3 year old and a new baby on the way, I need *clean* carpets!
Jan says
Wow, just in time. I could really use either of these great “tools”. Mine has definitely seen better days.
Thanks for a great opportunity.
Rebecca says
I would love to win one of these, though I am sure I would be horrified to see what a real machine would pull up off my carpets!
Jeanine C says
I subscribed to AndreaDekker emails. Thanks again for the chance to win!!
Nicole D says
I would love one of these Hoover vacuums because my husband and I actually like to vacuum, so it’s always fun to get new toys.
Jeanine C says
We need a better vacuum so bad! We have 2 dogs and a cat, a baby and a 5 year old who was just diagnosed with asthma last week.. We’ve been doing everything we can think of to cut down on allergens in our house, aside from giving our animals away, and a vacuum like this would be so helpful! Thank you for the chance to win.

Hi Andrea,
I happen to meet you virtually on facebook though a friend of mine ๐ and started following you regularly. Must admit that I have really learnt lot reading ur posts and definitely images speaks louder than words. I have recently shifted to Boston,MA with 2.5 year old kid and in process of setting up new place. Now I terrible feel the need of a good cleaner at home more so with a 2 year old around it a necessity.
I would here like to grab the opportunity to mention that I loved n loved ur post on “kitchen tour” and :closet” the most ๐
Thanks, Smriti

leslie rodriguez says
