I'm up for it, have video on my digital camera, my house is so crowded (40 dollshouses) getting round obstacles would be well tested...
Question: Is there a send in BY X date?

Scillygran Thu 26-Jul-12 11:38:23

I hate housework so anything that can make it more interesting would be very welcome!!!

I would love to try the Globe! I have a D***n which is so heavy to lift that taking it up or down a floor is a marathon challenge. Something more manoeuvrable would be terrific!

Thanks for applying ladies! Just to let you know that if you have a mobile phone, smartphone or tablet device that you can do video or photos on, then that's fine, you don't need to have a video camcorder specifically to take part.

Also, you won't be precluded from taking part if you don't want to/can't do video or photos.

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
