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…

We just put an addition on our old farmhouse and are in the middle of a renovation on the old part. Our new addition includes a lot of new carpet with stairs and I was looking at purchasing a new vacuum that is lightweight to use on the stairs and to carry up and down them. We also have a dog and I am usually vacuuming at least every other day so it gets a LOT of use. This would be a great Mother’s Day gift!

A new vacuum would be AWESOME! With two little guys, keeping the house clean is important to me.

Linda M says
I would love to win a new Hoover vacuum. Mine is 17 years old and doesn’t do as well as I would like. I also have house dogs which makes my need for a good vacuum even more necessary.
Leyha says
I would LOVE a new Hoover vaccum because I broke both of mine in one day! The same thing happened to both of them, so one went to the curb and I’ve been struggling with the other one…I have ALOT of house to vaccum!! So please, I would LOVE it!!!

I’ve been a long time Hoover lover…….and since mine is so old and gets so much use now with 5 cats and 2 kids…a new one would really come in handy!

Pamela Wallace says
Coming out of a bad divorce, and finally getting my life back on track, this vacuum could help me with my new home. I have 3 kids my son is 9 and back and forth in sports and my girls are 2 and 4 always getting into stuff. I would love to get this to add to my OCD cleaning.
Kristy Holland says
Mine is dying and I would love to try a new one.

Would love to have the vacuum cleaner to give to my granddaughter who just started college and is keeping house on her own for the first time. Currently she’s sweeping the carpet,which doesn’t work very well, so this would be great!
Kristin says
I have two kids and a dog and we just moved. I would love a new vacuum to clean up after my family as we get settled!

How one little cat can leave so much hair on every surface is beyond me, but I could definitely use a stronger vacuum!

With three boys playing outside and spring sports the dirt just keeps coming in….my vacuum is just not doing a great job any more….
Kat says
Why would I love to win a new vacuum? Hmm…how about three huge, shedding, indoor, loveable greyhounds? Wouldn’t trade them for the world, but would love a vacuum that successfully picks up the hair!
Crystal says
I would love to win a new vacuum – ours is one it’s last leg (wheel? 🙂
Jacquie says
I just love Hoover vacuums. I have had my old one for several years and it still works as good as the first day I purchased it. It would be wonderful to win a new one, then I could give my old one to my daughter who will be moving out on her own this summer.
muriel says
I would like a new vacuum because ours is getting old & I don’t think it work so well anymore. With a toddler and two dogs we have plenty of messes to vacuum.
Kimberly says
My Hoover is getting up in years.
Rebecca P. says
I would love to have a new Hoover vacuum for our upstairs. Our current vacuum has been used and abused – we live in the country on a gravel road, so we get LOTS of dirt in the house. I would continue using our current vacuum for the hardwood floors downstairs where most of the dirt is and use the new one exclusively upstairs where all the carpet is.

I would LOVE a new vacuum cleaner. My 2 year old has trashed our carpets and my cat’s hair is everywhere. Our vacuum is old and has to be emptied every week!!! Please give me the new vacuum cleaner!!!
Abbey says
I would love a vacuum that moves smoothly between carpets and hardwood!
Deanna Schiesser says
I would LOVE a new Hoover vacuum because ours just does not seem to be picking up dirt any more. It is always getting clogged and when it’s off, it likes to deposit dirt on my floor.

I would love a new vacuum to replace our cheap $50 one that is very loud and doesn’t do a very good job!
