Wasn't there an allergy trial, with promises of an animal one in the not too distant future.

Did I miss it?

Ooh, I would happily trial one, large or small...or even both if it helps you

I have previously had short haired dogs, this one is coming as a bit of a shock to the system (and my cat just does not bear discussion)

ilovemydogandmrobama · 05/07/2009 11:06

Me too!

I have children with long hair, dogs with long hair

Carpet, tiles, floorboards, lots of mud from allotment.

i would love to join in the trial too please for either hoover. child, dogs( long haired!)and cat. varying floor and surface types ( never knew before my DS that mud could become engraned into a leather sofa!!!)
i beg of you!!!!!

MrsGokWan · 01/07/2009 18:26

Iwould love to join in the trial too, pretty please

I have carpets, tiles, vinyl and concrete (the housing association still haven't laid the floors in the downstairs loo and bathrooms upstairs and we have been here a year ). They are still building around here so I have brick dust and alsorts coming in plus the crap that my brood brings in, drops on the floor and generally seems to magic out of thin air.

So we will have all sorts of challanges for it.

congratulations.

I need serious help. I'm drowning in orange/black/white/tabby/grey hair. Am also using an awful lot of sellotape.

ilovemydogandmrobama · 01/07/2009 17:19

Congratulations on getting married! .

CamillaDyson · 01/07/2009 15:22

Cod, I love the namechange!

Haven't decided how/what/if I am going to do anything with it yet. Probably will, and if so, will keep you in mind.

GingerIgnoramus · 01/07/2009 14:15

ah how romantic!
oh camille its me cod, let me have a handheld one pleassssssssssse

CamillaDyson · 01/07/2009 14:14

hi all

Sorry for going all quiet on you all. I selfishly went off to get married and have had other work stuff on. And thus neglected to check MN.

Looks to me like lots of you want to try some of our pet machines, so I need to get my thinking cap on. We like to try and incorporate some sort of consumer insights/feedback when doing this type of thing, so we both get something out of it.

We launched some very sucky new handhelds last week, but I get the impression that you're all after a bigger beast to clean up after your beasts.

SO can I ask that you leave me to speak to our engineers. Find out what they'd like to know from some pet owners, then come back to you/Helen et al @ MN?

Thanks,
Camilla

See Phantom, they should also send you one, it's a better representation of the UK's demographics.

lisad123 · 30/06/2009 14:30

I'll drive anywhere!

GhostOfPsychomum5 · 30/06/2009 14:29

or maybe an elephant one.......

ThePhantomPlopper · 30/06/2009 14:28

Does that mean I'm out? I live on the Isle of Wight!

FluffyBunnyGoneBad · 30/06/2009 14:26

I'd really love to test one if they send me one. It's a bit biased to all those who live in near the factory/can drive otherwise. It would make a fairer representation if they distributed them a little further afield. Like Derbyshire. Ohhh, I live there!

lisad123 · 30/06/2009 14:26

would love to trail one, my cats are long haired and shed everywhere. With DD2 beathing and DH being ill, i use my old dyson too much and its seen better days

GhostOfPsychomum5 · 30/06/2009 14:21

can I trial one.

I would quite like a lion-shaped one.....

TheFool · 30/06/2009 14:13

cat moulting

12StoneNeedsToBe10 · 30/06/2009 13:59

I've got an animal Dyson (actually bought it a few months before even deciding to get a dog, mainly for the filtering properties). The little moo is moulting like crazy (white short hairs) twud be a nightmare without the Dyson.

poorbuthappy · 30/06/2009 13:56

I have an older dyson and a dog, and a 4 year old who can not keep food on her plate!!!

So i'd like to trial the animal one, the small child one and also if you could invent something which picks up baby vomit i would grateful!!

MaybeAfterBreakfast · 30/06/2009 13:52

If there is an animal Dyson trial I'd love to do it. One hair-shedding spaniel, 3 messy males, and a variety of flooring types here.

ThePhantomPlopper · 30/06/2009 13:46

I have hard floors downstairs, carpets upstairs, tiles in the kitchen and lino in the bathrooms, many different types of floor for testing purposes you see.

Current vacuum was handed down from my mother, it was stored in their bomb shelter and fires damp smelling hot air out of the back of it. 2 toddlers, damn cat that sheds in summer and still uses a litter tray so I have paper trails coming off of it and (TMI) a husband that likes to shave his body hair in front of my mirror in the bedroom, which he then leaves, I then tread on and get sharp hair ends lodged in my big toe!

I rest my case .
