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, ours right now just isn’t doing the job picking up dog hair and with a baby on the way a new one would be really great. I also subscribed via email 🙂
kate says
I love vacuuming. I actually enjoy watching infomercials for vacuums. It’s the one chore i don’t mind because it’s something that instantly makes a room look cleaner. having a good vacuum is important because it gets rid of all that dog hair and dust and many cheaper-made vacuums just don’t’ seem to cut it.
Sarah says
Thanks for the giveaway!
I would LOVE a new vacuum for one of the reasons you stated. We have 3 levels and I hate lugging our Kirby up and downstairs all the time. It is heavy.
Thanks!

Linda (Phila burbs) says
i have 2 babies (fur babies). they are the center of my life and i love them to death but they shed terribly. would love a new vacuum to help with that!
Monique M. says
I would love to win one of these, we have two levels in our house and six animals, so we do a lot of vacuuming and a lot of vacuum lugging! Having an extra would be so very helpful!!
Tricia Andersen says
I would love a new Hoover since mine is currently on its last leg and I have a hubby, three kids, a dog, and a cat.
Kelly says
We’ve had our vacuum for a long time, and it would be great to have a new powerful vacuum to keep up with the dirt and mess of my four wonderful kiddos!

I am starting a brand new life and had to leave my vacuum behind 🙁 Would love a clean fresh start with a new vac. Thanks for such a great giveaway to start off your new blog name.
Laura says
I subscribed via e-mail and could really use something like this – between a toddler and pets and having 10+ year-old carpet, I feel like I can never get it clean enough! Thanks for an awesome giveaway.

I would love to win one of the new vacuum cleaners, but I am a little scared how much dirt I might pick up after seeing your picture! lol
Lucy Lopez says
Living in Southern California you’d never think that I live out in the middle of the woods. Our dust level here could be described as alien. It sneaks in through every crevice. Our house is the home to 3 kids and 2 dogs. I am constantly cleaning. Vacuuming is a must 4-5 times a week. A strong Hoover would be lovely and oh so helpful. Anything that cuts my cleaning time is a true blessing.
Tamra says
I would love to have a new vacuum, because my current one sucks;)
Emilee B says
I got married about a year and a half ago and received a cheap vacuum that I registered for as a gift, but it is already on its last leg! I would love to have a nice, new, good quality vacuum cleaner to replace it!

Patricia says
Our vacuum has a nasty smell, i’ve cleaned it but it wont go away and its just time to update to a new one but we don’t have the money right now, so this would be awesome to win!!!!
Monica says
I would love a new vacuum because mine does not work right and leaves a horrible smell when you use it.
Jan says
I would love to try out one of these! And my son is getting married this summer..always looking for a good shower gift!
DJ says
Always been a fan of Hoover products..would love to give this vacuum a “test drive” and boy have I got the floors to do that with…!
Lesley says
I subscribed to the emails. I would love to win one of these since I am still using my grandmother’s Electrolux from the 50’s! It is duct-taped together and still works, but I need the new technology of Hoover to really get my place clean!

We need a new vacuum because my husband is constant pulling the vacuum out to clean up after our two little ones. We go through vacuums very quickly. They always seem to loose their suction!

Wow! These vacuums look awesome. Would definitely use them on our rugs, bedrooms, and basement carpet. Our basement family room is the entire length of our house (one half is the family room and the other half is storage/mechanical/laundry room) so it is big and lots of carpet to keep clean. Would definitely use it there! Thanks for showing us.
Jenni says
my vacuum is probably AT LEAST 20 years old….it definitely could use replacing!
Heather says
I would love a stronger vacuum! We have 2 dogs in the house. One of which is a retired K-9 from our Sheriff’s Office and she sheds terribly!
Audra says
Oh a new vacuum would be so great and one that would do carpet and wood floor would be wonderful.
