Hoover are looking for 5 Gransnetters to put the new Globe Hoover to the test.

This is what Hoover says about the product: "Globe is Hoover's new manoeuvrable range of vacuum cleaners containing patented twist and steer technology allowing you to easily glide around furniture. The compact and lightweight design combines with a self aligning locking mechanism and directional control meaning that Globe is not only easy to manoeuvre but it also effortlessly negotiates obstacles and corners."

In order to really test what the Globe can do, Hoover will be setting challenges for testers to undertake during the trial and then asking them to add their feedback to a thread on Gransnet and, if possible, send in pictures and/or video footage. The challenges include vacuuming around obstacles in the home, hard to reach places and stairs, cleaning up after pets etc. Please note that if you supply any video or photo footage, it may appear on Gransnet, YouTube and/or Facebook.

This product test is open to all UK Gransnetters with at least one grandchild. If you wish to take part in this trial please sign up here.

Everyone who takes part in the product test and leaves their feedback gets to keep the Globe Hoover after testing (RRP £229). There will also be an additional £30 Amazon voucher up for grabs for the Gransnetter who sends in the best video or photo of them doing the challenges.

Thanks and good luck
GNHQ

Probably too late but with 6 dogs and 2 young grandsons I reckon I could be a good tester!

I would love to test it please! I have limited use in one arm and pushing and pulling a floor cleaner is painful. Patented twist and steer technology sounds as if it could be the answer to (some) of my prayers. So if I can use it without having to tie myself in knots, the whole world will know about it dearMr Hoover not just Gransnet I promise !!!

Thank you for the wee reminder about being about being able to use a smart phone to record!

I would love to trial one. I have a mixture of hard floors and carpets. One of my biggest challenges is pet hairs which seem to get everywhere - floors, sofa and even the curtains. I am using a elderly cylinder as a stop gap just now. I have had three successive Dyson uprights which were great when working, but the longest life span has been three years. My house is quite bijou and I am looking for something that can get into the small and awkward crannies.

I have just signed up for the hoover trials. Just hope if I do get picked that the hoover can cope with my heavy usage and all of the different floors that I have in my home.

I would love to be considered for the trial. I have several carpet problems that would be good tests for the hoover.I hoover nearly everyday and am willing to take photos etc.

I too have signed up for the trial. Mind you living beside the sea I do hope it can cope with the ever present sand happily shaken from shoes and turned up trousers.
