NOW CLOSED Try out the new Globe Hoover and get to keep it after testing

[TheOtherHelenMumsnet]

Hoover are looking for 5 Mumsnetters to put the new Globe Hoover to the test.

This is what Hoover says about the product: "Globe is Hoover's new manoeuvrable range of vacuum cleaners containing patented twist and steer technology allowing you to easily glide around furniture. The compact and lightweight design combines with a self aligning locking mechanism and directional control meaning that Globe is not only easy to manoeuvre but it also effortlessly negotiates obstacles and corners."

In order to really test what the Globe can do, Hoover will be setting challenges for testers to undertake during the trial and then asking them to add their feedback to a thread on MN and, if possible, send in pictures and/or video footage. The challenges include vacuuming around obstacles in the home, hard to reach places and stairs, cleaning up after pets etc. Please note that if you supply any video or photo footage, it may appear on MN, YouTube and/or Facebook.

This product test is open to all UK Mumsnetters with at least one child. If you wish to take part in this trial please sign up here.

Everyone who takes part in the product test and leaves their feedback gets to keep the Globe Hoover after testing (RRP £229). There will also be an additional £30 Amazon voucher up for grabs for the tester who sends in the best video or photo of them doing the challenges.

Thanks and good luck!

Me, me, me, me, me. I neeeeeeeeeeed a HEPA hoover to get rid of the asthmas Weasleys.

Done. Please save me from my god-awful Dyson

I don't ever Hoover because one can only hoover with a Hoover and I don't have a Hoover.Ii vacuum with a Sebo and a Meile, i should win so I can Hoover too!

I should definitely have this please - I have a toddler and 2 permanently moulting Jack Russells! I think I could probably make another one from what they leave behind!

I've signed up, really really need to find a decent replacement for my useless Dyson! It is driving me mad. I haven't hoovered for days now because everytime I use it I want to throw it out of the window.

This is staying open far to long......

This is now closed! We'll be choosing MNers this week and will be in touch with them asap.

Goodluck everyone..... everything crossed I am picked

I haven't done a trial for ages!

It'll really suck not to be chosen. Which is ironic.

jumps around noticeably

which is ironic as I can't do that in real life

Would it be relevant to mention that I haven't hoovered since I signed up for this test - so I really need to be picked before I disappear into a fug of dustbunnies and assorted child-related detritis . No pressure, obviously...

Keeping my fingers crossed. So much extra mess on my carpets with dc all at home.

Keeping everything crossable crossed here!! I love a good vacuuming session

AND I really will make DH dress as Freddie Mercury and video him doing it!!!

Any news anyone? I just realised there are only 5. My chances are very very slim!

Did I win? My carpets need a good vacuum.
(begging emoticon)

My mites need sorting!! Put us out of our misery

I really need a new vacuum cleaner. {hands over chocolate cake and wine}

I keep waiting too!

I keep looking at those pesky dog hairs on the carpet and dream of them being gone.......maybe I should just get the hoover on them

My stairs are so dusty and I can't get the pull out brush on the dyson to work. There's something stuck inside it and I can't get the fecking thing out. I'm also assuming the smoke coming out of the motor isn't a good sign.

Sorry ladies - still no news - hopefully won't be too much longer!

It's alright, it means I don't have to do any cleaning.

I just ran over my Hoover wire with the hoover it's fixed up with electrical tape. Will need a new one whether we get this or not. What an idiot

I have relatives visiting at weekend and the carpets need doing, I could also contribute enough hair off the carpet to make someone a wig or several Wiggins-style sideburnss
