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).

Oh my goodness - I'm 'in' ! Am pathetically excited! Shock Grin

The irony is I had literally just finished hoovering, after having to pick loads of hair out of the hoover, and I had just washed my filters through...

GinSoakedMisery · 12/02/2014 16:01

Well done those who were chosen.

VegetariansTasteLikeChicken · 12/02/2014 16:06

MNHQ, you haven't sent me my email... Hmm

LetItBeMe · 12/02/2014 16:14

OMG I'm in! I totally can't believe it! I am a hoover fanatic though so it'll get a good test here!

idleweiss · 12/02/2014 16:31

Oh no..:( looks like I'm going to have to buy a new Hoover that's not as good as this one now. Sniff!

gleegeek · 12/02/2014 16:32

Did anyone else get the strange pop up message when they opened the email????? I'm not going to celebrate until I know it's definitely from MN and I'm not giving away my info to a phishing company....

Can't believe I'm in too. Thank you so much! I was hoovering today with my current rubbish hoover, cursing the dog hair, when the email came through!
gleegeek I have that same message so am now wondering if it's a problem too? Yahoo mail?

gleegeek · 12/02/2014 16:48

Oh good, not just me then Smile This is on Outlook Express... have you filled it in? I'm waiting for MN Towers to put me out of my misery and tell me what to do! But until I fill it in, I can't access my emails...

HazeltheMcWitch · 12/02/2014 16:53

I also get an error message on emails from MN. I'm on Yahoo and my message reads: To view this page, you must log in to this area on mailinglist.mumsnet.com:80: and asks for a name and password, but I just cancel it.
