Who'd like to try out a new Dyson vacuum cleaner?

183 replies

We've been asked by Dyson to find 20 volunteers to test out a couple of brand new vacuum cleaners. To be eligible for the trial you need to do most of your own hoovering (so maybe it's time to give the cleaner a holiday ) and be able to collect your machine from Dyson's London or Wiltshire offices and stay for a brief demo.

If you like the machine you will be free to keep it. All we ask is that you agree to give feedback on an open section of Talk (that we'll set up in a couple of weeks time) and join in an online focus group (basically an online chat) with the Dyson engineers to tell them what you really think.

We're hoping to get all our volunteers in place by the end of the week, so if you're interested please sign up here

Thank you for the acknowlegdment. I know that not everyhting can be available for everyone. I hope everyone who has an opportunity to take part get on OK.

I wish this thread had been pulled once the names were chosen..and seeing as they said names would be pulled by the end of the week doing it on tuesday seems unfair...

no they said they hope to get all the volunteers "in place" by the end of the week.....not choosing them at the end of the week.

Given that the dates for collecting the hoover vacuums has changed there may well have been some people who were picked who've had to pull out, and therefore MNHQ would have had to invite others to fill their place. If they only did the draw at the end of the week it would probably have been the start of next week before all volunteers were "in place"

FAQ - my fault for forgetting the [sulk emoticon]

FAQ · 08/02/2008 11:42

that's what we need - a "sulk" emoticon....perhaps grumpy face and a body with arms folded across it.......perfect for all those "flouncing" moments
