LL... I'm dying to know your absolutely brilliant idea (I have a big upright one too!)
Didn't realise we had to write an advert too - I better get working on it!!!

(so much to do... so little time )

I just knew she'd get sucked in in the end

DualCycloneCod · 27/02/2008 16:10

note to self

DualCycloneCod · 27/02/2008 16:09

i still rekcon my advert idea for the baby dyson was a good one. the one where the woman goes aroudn the shoe suckign up her husbands life support sytems( paper, tv remote etc) to the ramones "baby i love you".
i think in general Dyson ads need to be funnier. for the " hey i am groovy modern, funny AND i haev a clean floor"

am also launching campaign ( in my head)for the small ball one i have.

i am wasted in education, wasted.

CamillaDyson · 27/02/2008 15:46

Unfortunately not LL, sorry! But Ben and Tom (!) won't either...

Who knows, they might've already thought of it?

You can post whatever you like. Purpose of the chat on the 10th is to let our engineers know what you think they should keep on the machines and what could do with some tweaking.

I was just slightly worried about people going all out when they first get it and by the time the 10th comes they don't have much left to discuss.

Cod: I will email you.

RTKangaDYSONMummy · 27/02/2008 13:53

For everyone:

  1. How did you find the out-of-the box experience and assembling the machine?
  1. Did you use the instruction manual?
  1. How did you find the following:
a. Bin emptying b. Attachments: did you use them? c. Filters: locate them OK? d. Manoeuvrability: get around furniture? e. Cleaning stairs?
  1. How does it compare to your current machine?
  1. Where did you store your machine? If possible: can you send a picture of your Dyson in its new home?
  1. Best thing?
  1. Anything that you would change?
  1. One addition you would make if you were a Dyson engineer?

Camilla, I haven't recieved the details on things to think about before the discussion via email

CamillaDyson · 27/02/2008 13:37

Hi Helliebean

Completely fine to email them over. And if you don't have any negatives...I really don't want to force you to say any!

Camilla

chenin · 27/02/2008 13:21

Camilla.... hope its OK to still email my comments on my Dyson? I cannot get to a PC until the evening on the 10th, as I work all day with no lunch break to speak of...

I plan to send you an email a day or so before the 10th with all my positives and negatives (what negatives???!!)

ScoobyDYSONDoo · 27/02/2008 11:22

Ours is brill - have the big upright one - it sucks like a crack whore - DH reckons anyway - what the hell he knows about crack whores coming from middle England I do not know though!

Hoovered with Henry first and then with the dyson just to check if poor old Henry really was shite - and I am afraid to say he was - had to empty Dyson 3 times!

Will keep Henry for decorating suck ups and for clenaing out the hearths and use Dyson for the carepts and the hard floors - it is fab!

Peachy · 27/02/2008 10:36

Ours is absolutely brilliant (and amde a massive difference to carpet for the house inspection we had on Monday LOL), but I find it really heavy with being heavily pg as well... struggle to haul it around atm, and using it on the stairs was a dangerous sport in itself (we have narrow, twisty olde cottage stairs).

And the velcro-ey fabric is coming off the little head attachment already, that happened first usage.

Dh adores it though and we'd certainly have another, just because its so damned efffective.
