Wanted: 20 MNers to put Dyson’s newest technology - The Dyson Cinetic™ vacuum cleaner, through its paces. We want manic homes. Messy children. And messier dogs. NOW CLOSED

Dyson are looking for 20 Mumsnetters to test out their newest vacuum - The Dyson Cinetic DC54 (Currently sold for £459.99 on the Dyson website).

Here's what Dyson have to say, "Dyson's latest vacuum cleaner uses Dyson Cinetic cyclone technology. 54 cyclones are equipped with oscillating rubber tips making them so efficient at separating dust there is no need for filter maintenance. As a result, it will not lose suction over the lifetime of the machine. It is Dyson's biggest step forward in vacuum technology since removing the bag in 1993."

Putting it to the test

"Dyson engineers spent 9,000 hours testing the new Dyson Cinetic; which is the equivalent of 500 years of vacuuming in the home. So now we want hectic households to put it to the test. Over 2 tonnes of dust was used to test the Dyson Cinetic vacuum, roughly the same weight as a bull elephant. Can you do better?"

No loss of suction. Ever.

"Bagged vacuums lose suction almost instantly. Fine dust clogs the pores of the bag restricting airflow while other cyclonic vacuum cleaners often rely on filters to capture dust which have the same problem. The Dyson Cinetic's oscillating rubber tips are made from a top secret material that's been tested with over 10 years' worth of test dust. The Dyson Cinetic vacuum cleaner will not lose suction."

To see how the oscillating tips work

This product test is open to all UK Mumsnetters.

Dyson are on the hunt for 20 MNers who are:

  • Available to receive a machine, and willing to test it over a two week period between 17th February and 3rd March, so please only apply if you're available during this time. You will get to keep the Dyson Cinetic once you have finished testing.
  • Able to leave feedback on the feedback thread, a review in the reviews section of Mumsnet, and a short survey outlining your feedback to be used on Dyson's website.
  • Comfortable submitting photos of the test.


Dyson will set three challenges testing the speed, effectiveness and durability of the Dyson Cinetic which you'll need to complete. We'll post these on the feedback thread. Don't worry they should be fun!

If you want to sign up to test out the Dyson Cinetic, click here.

For those of you who aren't successful, keep an eye out for the feedback thread where you could still be in with the chance to win a Dyson Cinetic vacuum of your own.

If you add feedback as required you will be able to keep the product.

Thanks,
MNHQ

Please note: Testers will be required to send photos into Mumsnet (and optional video footage). These could potentially be used on Dyson websites and social media pages (Facebook, YouTube, Twitter etc).

Applied! I am stupidly very excited. 2 mahoosive dogs here (chosen as apparently don't shed Hmm ) and 2 dcs. I am sick of vacuuming 2-3x a day! I don't even put the bloody thing away now. Makes a great ornamental feature Grin

The only person in this house who doesn't have long hair is DP. The lodger's hair's even longer than mine, and mine's bum-touching length. And although I love Henry dearly, he's really not great with hair Sad.

Does it help that the dogs' favourite habit is to go through the bin and search out nappies to rip up all over the bloody floor!

A cluttered, dusty house, a two year old and an 16 week old puppy means that a Dyson would be perfect to keep on top of the cleaning.

I'm signed up too. Great timing, my old Dyson is starting to make a most peculiar noise when I vacuum!

Me please.
One large dog, one messy DH who works with wood so generally shedding sawdust,
one log burner and a large basket of logs and blazers,
two toddlers who spent yesterday playing with diggers and cornflakes. ( we tried rice but little one kept eating the grains ) .
And I just wonder how the existing Dyson can be improved as I think its already wonderful .

I have a Dyson ball thingy and its like trying to hoover with a wonky supermarket trolley. I have never felt hatred for an object until DH bought this monstrosity. It doesn't go where I want it to, its heavy, it pulls my back trying to twist and turn the stupid thing. It hates me. It's like an animal that can smell fear.

On the plus side. DH does 99% of the hoovering now as it stops me from ranting and raving.

I don't have pets so i assume there is no point in applying as I didn't get picked for a couple of things that i was a textbook candidate for! I have a little Argos hoover though so maybe they'll feel sorry for me... :o
