Who'd like to try out a new Dyson vacuum cleaner?

183 replies

We've been asked by Dyson to find 20 volunteers to test out a couple of brand new vacuum cleaners. To be eligible for the trial you need to do most of your own hoovering (so maybe it's time to give the cleaner a holiday ) and be able to collect your machine from Dyson's London or Wiltshire offices and stay for a brief demo.

If you like the machine you will be free to keep it. All we ask is that you agree to give feedback on an open section of Talk (that we'll set up in a couple of weeks time) and join in an online focus group (basically an online chat) with the Dyson engineers to tell them what you really think.

We're hoping to get all our volunteers in place by the end of the week, so if you're interested please sign up here

Would you like me to call on your behalf and see what she can do?

Shiny I can't call her - I don't have her number - all the details are in the emails that are at home - currently on DB's computer.

oh effing, bloody men. So sodding typical. DH had initally agreed to take Monday the 25th off (couldn't collect this week as I'm away) so that I could go down to London on the train to pick it up.

I'd arranged with Camilla when I was going before I came away - now DH has just sent me a text telling me he's got a meeting next Monday (which HE will have arranged).....which means he won't be taking the day off and I can't go and pick up the vacuum.

Now I'm stuck without my email, unable to contact them to let them know I can't do it any more - am completely gutted and

that's what we need - a "sulk" emoticon....perhaps grumpy face and a body with arms folded across it.......perfect for all those "flouncing" moments
