We've been asked by Dyson to find 15 MNers who are willing and able to try out the new Dyson Digital Slim - DC44.
Dyson say "The Dyson Digital Slim(tm) is one of Dyson's newest inventions and is a lightweight cordless vacuum cleaner, engineered for nimble, high performance spot cleaning. From cobwebs in corners to quick skirting boards and stairs, it is balanced for floor to ceiling cordless cleaning.
Dyson's DC44 is also perfect for quick clean ups - so you'll be ready for any surprise visitors this festive period"
More info here
We're looking for MNers to try this who:
~ are around between now and Christmas eve to receive the product (and ideally have a house-full of guests)
~ are at home over Christmas break to try it out (it's ideal for whizzing round under the tree)
~ willing to add feedback - at least twice - to a thread on Mumsnet over the festive season - we'll be looking for you to add your responses to some questions and also to add further thoughts
~ willing to add a review here
~ are in the UK
Dyson would also like to set MNers some challenges with their DC44 - these will be sent to the selected testers and you'll be asked to add your feedback on how you got on with the challenges.
We're also looking for the testers to send in some video footage of the DC44 being used around the home - and completing the challenges. If you're happy to make a film for Dyson please tick the box on the application form. If you're selected you'll be asked to film yourself, your children and any pets in your home using the DC44. This shouldn't be too onerous. You'll then need to send in your footage to MN. Please note the videos will then be edited into a montage and will feature on dyson.co.uk as well as on the Dyson YouTube channel and possibly elsewhere (eg Facebook, MN) - your name will not be used. You will be sent notes on filming.
If you'd like to take part please add your details here
Please note : if selected products will be sent out this week for delivery before Christmas - please only apply if you are around then for delivery and can also feedback. And for those not successful on becoming a tester, you will be emailed by MN details of a special Christmas treat from Dyson.
If you add feedback as required you will be able to keep the product.
Thanks MNHQ
PS if you don't get selected or aren't able to apply for this test, please keep an eye out for the feedback thread where you could win a Dyson product of your choice.
Here's where users test and review products and give their feedback. If you'd like to run a product test please email [email protected].

Need this vacuum, please pick me,I have a hairy dog, 12 people plus extra dog for christmas, love the dyson I have but it's getting old like me. 
not sure if my application has gone through, but with 4 kids, 2 dogs, 3 cats and 3 gerbils, this would be a very worthwhile addition to the house 
fingers crossed here too 
hope i get this one it will cheer me up no end, hubs is leaving new years day for a 10 month deployment so any help training the kids to use this with cleaning up over xmas will be a bonus

Done!!
Fingers, legs, toes, ears and eyes firmly crossed and will remain so until further notice.
I don't just want this, I NEED it!!!!
It would mean me being able to spend some of the festive period with my DH and DCs instead of being stuck behind a Hoover that couldn't suck the skin off a rice pudding in its current state :-s
