Fab Freebie: This Giveaway Sucks

***This giveaway is no longer accepting entries***

Literally- it does. Hear me out for a minute. A couple of weeks ago we posted about our new Bissell vacuum, which virtually swept us off our feet (and actually sucked stuff off our floors). Well, thanks to the magic of the Interweb, that post actually caught the eye of the kind folks over at Bissell and after a few emails back and forth… tah dah! We managed to sweet talk them into a YHL giveaway. So now one lucky reader gets the chance to win their very own Bissell Cleanview Helix Bagless Vacuum Cleaner to help them spruce up every nook and cranny of their casa. Nice, right?

Bissell Cleanview

We’re psyched that Bissell’s helping us share this HEPA-filterin’, 12-amp powerin’, multi-surface settin’, pet hair suckin’ and lightweight cleanin’ love with one of you. And if your house is home to a canine or a feline with a bit more fur than our bald-bellied Burger, this little bonus prize might come in handy too: they’re throwing in a Bissell’s Pet Hair Broom for our big winner as well.

Bissell Pet Broom2

Even if you don’t find yourself sweeping up much pet hair, the broom’s rubber bristles (which attract fur like a magnet) are retractable for your normal sweep jobs. So here’s how you can get your paws on this prize set which- thanks to the broom- technically doesn’t completely suck.

  • PRIZE: A Bissell 82H1 Cleanview Helix Bagless Upright Vacuum Cleaner and Pet Hair Broom
  • TO ENTER: Comment on this post with the words “CLEAN ME” and…
  • BONUS QUESTION: … tell us about any of your spring cleaning rituals that are already underway in your house (or any that you might be diving into soon). Getting the garden ready? Washing all the windows? Taking us up on our closet cleaning party? Spill it.
  • GIVEAWAY CLOSES: Wednesday, March 10th at 8pm EST
  • NUMBER OF WINNERS: One
  • PRIZE SHIPS: Home to the world’s best and second-best hockey teams (that’s Canada and the US, fyi)
  • USUAL STUFF: One entry per e-mail address is permitted. The winner will be selected using random.org and announced on Thursday. Good luck!

    We clean out our closets and find old winter clothes to donate. We also do a deep vacumning (ceiling corners, every nook and cranny) so this prize would be perfect!

    Clean me!

    The first thing I will do is clean the windows! Need to get the sunshine in here! (if only it would stop raining!) So that once the weather warms up a little (40 is still a bit chilly for me) I can open the windows. Then I will need to pack the winter coats, hats, scarfs, and mittens away. My favorite day of the year is when I am able to put the “winter gear” away for a few months!

    Thanks to the show Hoarders we started our spring cleaning early. Nothing motivates you to clean like the site of dust wolves, clothes lasagna and sailcats! Would love to win this vacuum. We have a dirt devil and it doesn’t get the cat hair our of our carpet at all. We have a navy rug slowly transforming into a dusty blue color.

    We’re decluttering as our first spring cleaning tast — getting rid of all that accumulated junk that doesn’t fit into our lives any more. And that stirs up a lot of dust bunnies – a fancy vacuum would certainly help! :)
