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

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

Really sorry about the collecting thing. It's because they want to be able to demonstrate the machine so that they can ensure they're getting accurate feedback.
Shall I see if we can get a Dyson comp or two planned on the back of this? Never sure if folks really want to win a new hoover, but looks like someone might.

Sleepdeprivationandme - we've reiterated it a couple of times and included the question so we can be sure we don't offer someone a dyson to test who then turns out not to be able to collect it. Hope that makes sense.

The London address is 3-5 Ives Street, London, SW3 and RTKangaMummy - as long as the email addy is one that you respond to that's fine.

s... into furniture and finally cleans under sofa.. (in a Murray Walker voice)

Sorry, momentarily frivolous moment as I visualise all that vacuuming

Just wanted to bump for the afternoon, can't- face-making-the-tea-for-the-kids-so-will-check-active-convos-crowd, (we know who you are )

I think if you have to ask it's probably too far away to go to collect a vacuum cleaner, but, as I had to go and look up exactly where it was myself here's their tourist site and here's their wiki entry. HTH!

We've had such a massive response to this appeal that we're going to move on in the next half hour to the names out of the hat bit. Those who've been chosen will be contacted in the next day or so (apologies in advance to all those who will be disappointed. Please don't be cross with us if you don't get picked, we promise it's nothing personal )

BIg thanks to all for your speedy response.

Emails will be wending their way today, there was - in usual Mumsnet fashion - a slight delay in the hat ceremony, but the names were pulled by end of Tues. Apologies to all those disappointed but there will be a bumper Dyson comp coming and if you win that you won't even have to pick it up and have the demo.

Thanks again to all for volunteering so swiftly

Hi Mistymoo
Just wanted to say we do try and offer things that are nationally based as often as possible but in cases like this, it was too good to turn down!
