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!

Ah. I think you already know who's won. You're just tidying up the floors at t'towers with those glamourous Globes before handing them over Aren't you?

[AlbumsOfMyYouth]

I wonder how testers are chosen? Is it about how prolific a poster they are? How good their statement was on the application? How clear/amusing their written english is? How many pets/children/types of flooring they have in their house? What kind of hoover they have had before?
I suspect that claiming to have a filthy house won't clinch it though . Darn it!

[DharmaBumpkin]

Waits impatiently...

[TheCunningStunt]

It's nothing to do with posting history. These things don't work that way....I think it's a mix of all things on the application and from products I have applied for before, it's usually down to the company and not MNHQ .......if only it was down to prolific posting....

[HippoPottyMouth]

Will you say when the people have been notified? (so I can stop checking my inbox :))

[poorbuthappy]

Maybe, as we are so upset, we could get a discount after the product tests in case we want to buy one ourselves...

[PurpleCrazyHorse]

OMG, our Dyson flex has split so I was dicing with death vacuuming yesterday. How very exciting, I think I might need to take it on holiday with me too. Hoping it arrives soon as the Dyson has gone to the tip!

Thank you MNTowers I've not won anything for years and years.
