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…

Laura says
Our old vacuum is so old and starting to fall apart. This looks like a fabulous vacuum! 🙂
Beth says
I would love either of these vacuums because the one we have is on its lay legs, we have three kids, two pets and are constantly vacuuming.
Deidre says
We have 4 Adults and a 17 yr old boy living in this house. Dirt, dust, food particle end up everywhere and with carpet and rugs all over the place I feel like I’m vacuuming every other day.
marcy says
I also have a multi-level house and having a vacuum on each level would be great!
Becky Schrage says
I have never owned a vacuum other than HOOVER, would be grateful to have a new one. Promise to give the current vacuum a new home!

I need a Hoover because my toddler has very good eyesight and everything he finds goes into his mouth.
Sue Aylmer says
I would love a new Hoover because with 4 kids, it’s tough enough keeping up with them and their activities – let alone all the dirt they leave behind!
Joye says
My vacuum is about to die! What good timing this would be!
Jennifer says

I would love a new vacuum because my little one is mobile now and is always picking up pieces off the ground.
April says
I would love to win either one of these Hoover vacuums. Both of them sound absolutely wonderful. Thanks for sharing your personal opinion about the vacuums. My kids are learning household chores and our current vacuum is so heavy. I have to carry it downstairs for them. Our vacuum is also very hard for them to push. So in order for me to help them become self efficient I need the appropriate tools. Love, love your website!
joy says
i would love to replace the vacuum we bought with our wedding money…. Its seen 13 years of camp life, dog and kid traffic. It sucks, and not in a good way 🙂 thanks for the chance!
Diane Green says
I would love a new Hoover vacuum since I have two kids and a dog that are constantly tracking in who knows what from outside! We have carpet throughout our two-story house and that is a lot to vacuum.

I would love to have this vaccum and I LOVE your website!
Mindy says
Having a light-weight yet powerful vacuum will be wonderful since I have wrist tendonitis and it’s difficult for me to lug anything heavy around. I always wait for my husband to do the vacuuming, but he travels a lot for his job, so it’s very difficult to keep the carpets clean. Not being able to keep the carpets clean frequently affects my allergies.
Megan Roan says
I would love to win a new vacuum. My current vacuum is not working the best anymore and starting to make strange sounds. In addition, I live in an apartment and love the idea of a powerful vacuum to make sure the carpets are as clean as possible. I do suffer from headaches and migraines and I believe that the cleaner environment would be wonderful for my health.
I’m currently subscribed.

Winning a new Hoover vacuum would be so helpful – with three young kids and a dog our old one is just a bit worn out!
Kyrie says
I’m getting married later this year and a new vacuum of this quality would be fantastic for keeping our apartment clean!
Angie says
I would love to win a new vacuum because I have a pug, and they are one of the heaviest shedding breeds!
Barb says
Winning a new vacuum would be fantastic for my upstairs cleaning! I’m always lugging the one from downstairs to the upstairs to clean and when you get alittle “older”, it’s gets somewhat of a load!
Kelly says
We have a little boy, a dog and a cat – so keeping up is hard to do! I would love a new vacuum to help with the mess!
Avital says
My 6-month-old is doing her first ‘steps’ towards crawling (+grabbing and trying to eat everything she finds on her way) so I can no longer cheat on vacuuming…, I need a real player now 🙂 Thanks for the chance!
Angela Miles says
I would love to win a new vacuum! With 4 kids and a 4 day old baby life is hectic and dragging my heavy vacuum up and down 3 flights of steps doesn’t happen as often as it should. Having an extra vacuum on another floor would be a huge help. Love your new site and new name! Congrats on your success, you inspire so many women!
