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 need a Hoover because I’ve been using a cheap terrible vac for over a year and would really like to have something that actually sucks, haha! These look amazing and with a little baby it’s very important to me to keep all the dust and dirt out of my house.
Andrea says
Hello to a fellow Andrea 🙂
Thanks for this opportunity, I would love to win a vacuum for the home we are in the process of purchasing. We will have a ton of renovations to do, so a new vacuum would come in handy!

I would love to receive this vacuum. I have 9 month that is on the go and I keep up with keeping floors clean. We have 2 cats and I clean floors every other day. I sweep, then sweep with microfiber broom then vacuum then mop. And after all that floors still are dirty. Hard to keep up with working full time and getting my couple hours Of quality time with the little guy. Still have yet to find that wonderful vacuum to help free up some cleaning time.
Katie Jones says
I would love a new Hoover vacuum because I have a dog who sheds badly and my current vacuum just can’t keep up anymore. I also have a 7 month old and I want him to play on the floor without me having to put a blanket down all the time because I just know my vacuum doesn’t pick up all the dirt and grime like it should!

Would love a new vacuum to use at our house.

I would love a new vacuum as mine is pretty heavy and is getting less efficient with time, I think it’s almost 10 years old! Thanks for the great giveaway! Love the new website!
Rebecca says
I’m ridiculously overwhelmed with dog hair! I have two Newfoundlands. Mine does a decent job but not in the basement where the dogs like to spend most of the summer, hiding from the heat.
Mike A says
We have 18 month-old twins and two cats running around our house and this past week our vacuum handle broke off! A new vacuum would be great in keeping the floors less dirty and covered in cat hair. Love the new site and updates!
Dawn H says
I would love a new Hoover vacuum because our current vacuum is showing it’s age and is no longer working so well. Plus, it fell down our staircase when I was trying to vacuum the stairs, and has some broken parts now. So, yep. Need a new one! 🙂
JOANN LUCIDO says
I am indire need of a new vacuum. My current one is held together in various places by duct tape. It still works but I have been researching a decent one before making that purchase.
Dorcas Iwashige says
I am subscsribed
Lisa says
I would love a new vacuum that’s light weight! My old one is very heavy.
Dorcas Iwashige says
Don’t feel like our vacuum is doing the trick, and I love to know there isn’t lots of dust and dirt in the carpets!
Cindy McKernan says
A hoover vacuum would be just what the cleaning fairies ordered for me! I work full time, with animals, a husband, a son, 2 stories and several different types of floors. Oh, yes!
Michelle H. says
I would love a new vacuum! I have a canister that is almost 11 years old, and after 3 kids it is quite worn out. I’ve been eyeing the Hoover as an option for my next vacuum but wasn’t sure how it performed. Thanks for the info. Love your new website!
Becky B says
We have been searching for a new vacuum since our 8 month is crawling and getting more and more mobile by the day. We want to keep our house as clean as possible with him on the move!
Charlene Uchtman says
I would love to have one of these on each floor of my home!

Our current vacuum just started losing suctioning power, and we are going to have to be on the look out for a new one! This would be perfect timing! We usually have to replace our vacuum once every year with 3 kids and 2 large breed dogs! 😉

This new vacuum would be awesome because ours just bit the dust! And I don’t want to buy another ‘cheapie’ this time around – with a baby we need a work horse vacuum!!
Renee says
I would love a new Hoover vacuum because for some reason all of our other vacuums keep breaking! I can’t keep a good vacuum in this house for anything-lol! Thanks for a great giveaway! 🙂

I would love to win this vacuum. Mine needs replaced – it no longer picks up dirt.
Rebecca says
Love your site! I come here daily! I would love a new vacuum, I had to buy a sub-standard one last year for financial reasons, and it has bugged me since. So here’s hoping!

We have an old, hand-me-down vacuum that we were happy to be given as gift when we got married a few years ago. However, it’s heavy, has bags, is hard to clean and really difficult to maneuver. But, since it technically works we hate to spend money replacing it. A new vacuum would be a treat!

I would love a new vac!
Ashley says
I need a new vacuum because mine is stuck in the “on” position. Once you plug that thing in, you’re ready to go! Really funny when the electrician doing work at your house who asks to borrow your vacuum…
Tammy S says
My vacuum is growing old and tired so this would be much needed. Love the idea of being able to use if for all floor types.
Paula says
My current Hoover is 17+ years old. It is heavy so nice lightweight vacuum would be great for taking it upstairs and down.
