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 could really use a new vacuum. With three boys, a messy husband, and a dog we always have messes to clean. Our current vacuum is extremely heavy and requires changing the whole front of the vacuum to go from carpet to hard floor.

Allison says
I’m on the market for a new vacuum, and one of the new Hoover models would be perfect for my little dog (who sheds) and me. 🙂
Michelle McLeod says
Me, me, me!!!
Our vacuum is broken (and I’m not just saying that). We are a family of 5 (me, my husband, 10 year old stepdaughter, 9 year old stepdaughter & 2 year old wild child son) and we need a new vacuum soooo bad.
Brandi says
We have 5 little loves ages 9 months to 9 years. We have a lot of running in and out of the house now that the weather is nicer. A high quality vacuum would be helpful to pick up the dirt that ends up in the house.
Sidney Smith says
I have recently moved. Our previous home had a built in vacuum. This home doesn’t and unfortunately, I don’t have a vacuum of any sort. Definitely in need of one.
Cheryl says
I would love a new vacuum for my stairs. The vacuum I have now is heavy!!
Melody M says
I follow you on FB!
Liz says
The new site looks great. I would love to win a new vacuum to give to my mother.
Melody M says
We could just use a new vac and this one looks pretty neat!
shelly says

Between our 4 kids ages 6, 4, 3, and 7 months 3 kitties we are in need of a new one! We run our current vacuum 2 a day and we just had to break out the duct tape on the hose. I love the new site as well! Thanks.
Jackie Dorsey says
I would love a new Hoover Vacuum. My fiance and I recently closed on our first home. Our old place was laminate and the dog hair was a little simpler to dry cloth up. Now, we need something with a lot of power and suction to help us keep up with a shedding puppy.
Shari says
I already subscribe. Congratulations on the move…it looks great!
Nanete says
I would love a new vacuum to help with the dog hair and many other messes
Shari says
With a new crawler, the floors I once thought clean, aren’t so clean anymore. How can he find every single crumb?! A new vacuum would be great!
Jeleen says
I would love a new vacuum to help with all the crumbs my 16 mon old leaves around!
Jenna says
Our house only has hard wood and tile floors so I have always used a regular broom. A sweeper but be awesome to have!
Amy says
My German shepherd!

Shawna says
with 5 kids and the summer coming (LOTS of sand and dirt) this would come in very handy!!
Christine says
I would love a new Hoover so I could give my parents back a vacuum that they loaned me when my vacuum went. It was generous of them to loan me a vacuum and I have tried to give it back but they refuse (again, very generous). If I won a vacuum, I could give them their vacation home vac. back w/out the guilt (or I would really like to give the new vacuum to say thank you for their kindness…. if they would take it).
Angela R. says
This vacumn would be awesome at my house! I have 4 kids and 2 dogs and we homeschool so there is always someone home messing up the house. Would be nice to see how it cleans the furniture,too. =]

With 4 kids and a dog a good vacuum would be a huge help 🙂
DeeDee Moore says
We live in the woods and so much dirt gets tracked in, this awesome vac would get put to get use in our home!
Renee M. says
I vacuum daily because of pets! My vacuums filter plugs up no matter how much I change and clean. A new Hoover would be a blessing.
Jenna says
I’ve had our vaccuum since before we were married (6+ years!!) We have a toddler, a dog, a cat, and tile floors with multiple area rugs so a new vaccuum that can maneuver easily between the two would be a real help 🙂
I subscribe via RSS feed. Love the new site!
Lara says
I would love a hoover vacuum because I don’t have a vacuum!!
Cindy Morgan says
I would love a new Hoover vacuum cleaner because we have brand-new laminate flooring in our dining/living room area and I think that it would be ideal for cleaning our new floors!

I have 3 kids under the age of 5.. Enough said? 😉
Debby says
I would love this vacuum for our finished basement. That is where my teenagers hang out with friends and SNACKS!!! They are lovely children but they are messy. This would save me lugging our current vacuum up and down the steps everytime I need it
ChrisS says
I’m a fellow toddler mom and a new vacuum would be super helpful for keeping our home clean. 🙂

A new vacuum would be wonderful!! Looks impressive.
Maria says
I would love a new vacuum because ours is only good on floors, but not so much on carpeting.
Also, love your new blog and thanks for the giveaway!
Audrey says
I would LOVE a new vacuum because of four main culprits: (1) our 18-month-old; (2) my husband, who likes to snack in the living room; (3) me, because I’m a messy eater, and (4) baby #2, due in July! Vacuuming is a never-ending job and I may as well have the most effective tools! 🙂
Rebecca D says
Our current vacuum has duct tape to keep our hose connected to the vacuum…we need a new one!!
