At May 23, 2008 3:18 PM Leslie said...: Awesome giveaway Kristin. Who couldn't use this sweeper?! Why I NEED it is when you have a toddler EVERYTHING gets picked up and eaten off the floor. Our sweep is a hand-me-down from my mom who got it from my grandma. It's a bazillion years old. I'd LOVE a new one that actually worked.
At May 23, 2008 3:20 PM fluggy said...: Man oh man I desperately need to remove the dirt from my house! I've got 3 kids a huge hairy dog and a huge hairy husband! :0)

At May 23, 2008 3:28 PM Heather said...: Why could *I* Heather use a Dyson?
I have a home daycare and cleaning is a MUST, cleaning is a daily routine around here and with a vacuum that isn't already sucking the way it should makes the job that much harder. For my children in the home, the floors must be clean so there aren't any hazards for them to possibly choke on or eat. I have 2 dogs & 1 cat which also shed hair, and make messes. I have lots of Mess Makers and not a mess cleaner that is sufficient. I would to win a Dyson! off to blog all about it for you!
Thanks! Heather

At May 23, 2008 3:29 PM MsCrazyLove said...: Hey Kristin!

Why could I use it?

Well. To give the short story, my dad left my mom and theyre getting divorced and my mom can no longer afford my childhood home :( So... my mom needs to sell the house and we're starting to clean it all out, going through boxes in the basement and attic and loft that havent seen the light of day in 15 years! Having a nice vacumn would be SO helpful and wonderful right now - my mom's vacumn is old and smells and works like poo. Cleaning it all out to put it on the market is stessful when you have to have your house in pristine condition to show it (esp when you dont want to sell it but HAVE to). Wow the look on my moms face would be priceless...i'd love to make her happy and make things a little bit easier with this whole moving process!

oh and did i mention 5 people and 1 extremely hairy fat dog w/ a medical shedding problem (honest!) live here-with extended family and friends coming over everyday. Daily mess and dirt galore!

At May 23, 2008 3:32 PM MsCrazyLove said...: lol oh and...with all the old dust and allergins being turned up with the cleaning out (and the dogs dander) all of our allergies are acting crazy! I didnt even know they MADE vacumns that helped with allergies, thats awesome!
At May 23, 2008 3:39 PM Anonymous said...: I would love to win a Dyson! My husband and I both have asthma and really bad allergies. We have 4 cats & 2 Dogs which of course we would never trade for the world, we love them as our own children. So a proper cleaning machine would help aide in the being able to have our fur-children. I have a chronic Bladder disease (IC) which makes cleaning impossible, I have to have self propelled vacuum's which come with a heavy price, which we cannot afford. I would love to win a Dyson. Thank you for this great opportunity!

At May 23, 2008 4:48 PM Gil's Wifey said...: Well since my husband is deployed I've been living with my Grandparents and they have an ancient vacuum cleaner lol seriously they don't even make the bags for it anymore and they have to use the same bag over and over again... right now they're down on their luck and can barely afford gas or food much less a new vacuum cleaner. And Having myself and my one year old living in their house and treading on their carpets has started to take a toil on them! So this would be a small blessing to help to help them out since they've already helped me out so much!

Thank you!! Oh and I'm blogging about it on my blog also!

Need I get into the fact that we have carpet by two main entrances into our house. Yeah, we clearly did not think about that because our carpet is getting thrashed. I would love the new dyson to help clean up after all the above plus some. Especially being a full time student and working full time, I need all the help I can get!

At May 23, 2008 8:13 PM Cuddle Cottage said...: Why do I need a Dyson?

First, we share our mainly carpeted apartment with a cat who sheds a fantastic amount of fur and a toddler who believes food should be flung whenever the opportunity presents itself. Not a day goes by when I'm not scooping up wads of cat hair or removing some ground-up food-like item from the carpet.

Second, my vacuum cleaner is old and falling to bits and every time I use it, I have this depressed feeling that I'm just wasting my time . . .

Finally, the above-mentioned vacuum cleaner was given to me as a birthday gift by hubby and, sweet though it was, I REALLY don't want my next birthday gift to be another so-so vacuum cleaner, I'd much rather win the best one out there!

At May 23, 2008 8:39 PM Sarah said...: Typical vaccuums have been no match for my long, curly head of hair! And...baby girl seems to be a noodle-head too. She also spends much of her time face down in my carpet right now as she's learning to move, so an exceptionally clean carpet would help minimize the mommy guilt.

Not a blogger...yet...so I'll be emailing a couple of other blog-addicted friends!

I have 2 men (one a husband, one a roommate), one pug and one cat living in less than 1000 square feet of apartment!! It's amazing how much hair can accumulate in carpet and on furniture in a matter of days! Plus - my roommate has a habit of transporting dirt ALL OVER THE HOUSE - I even found spaghetti sauce at least 20 feet away from the kitchen - and on the miniblinds...I just don't want to know! :-)

I have looked into the Dyson and love the fact that they are hypoallergenic and great for people with allergies.
If I had one of these I would feel that much better about keeping my home clean and safe for my son.

My kids are ALWAYS finding new ways to make messes and I find myself vacuuming two+ times a day! My kids are always sniffling and itchy and miserable, but because they're small still there is not much I can safely do for them other than cleancleanclean. I really can't afford a super nice vacuum and ours just isn't that fabulous. This would be amazingX18000billion!

At May 24, 2008 6:03 AM Marcia said...: My hubby developed allergies within the last 2 years. I need to keep the floors vaccuumed and everything dusted or he'll spend his time at home sneezing and miserable. I try to keep it clean just in case our daughter is going to take after him with allergies.

At May 24, 2008 6:53 AM r hackett said...: The best reason I can give you that I need this vaccum is that I have a dog. Every pet owner knows that there are few vacuums on the market that pick up dog hair.

When we bring her home she will be 11-12 months old and crawling. It would be nice if she didn't have to crawl around amongst all of the fur:)

I need to remove dirt from my home because it's always in here. I have 3 children and they drag everything outside into my home. My vacuum now is broken and I need to use only the tube attachment for it to work. Uggghhhh!
I hope everyone has a great Memorial weekend!
At May 24, 2008 7:49 AM anne said...: my vacuum is also on the fritz. i've got 4 dogs, one of whom sheds enough to warrant us saying we have 5 dogs. my first baby is due any day--lightweight, versatile, and dependable is exactly what our family needs right now! i've been drooling over this vacuum for awhile now. (you know you're nesting when you drool over vacuums at all...)

At May 24, 2008 7:54 AM Dianna_Ball said...: Who DOESN'T need to keep the house clean? :) My answer is the same as all the rest - one kiddo, one dog, one messy husband. We all love the outdoors and are constantly tracking stuff in. I have always wanted a dyson but could never justify the price tag!

At May 24, 2008 8:10 AM Christina said...: I would love to have a Dyson but being on a limited income it just hasn't happened. I have 3 kids and one of which is mentally handicapped. One of his handicaps is well he eats hair. We have a therapy cat for him that unfortuantely sheds a lot! I buy the cheaper vacuums and they don't do a very good job of picking up the cat hair. Winning this would be the answer to my prayers! Good luck to all who's entering this!

At May 24, 2008 12:31 PM jellosheriff said...: This would be great! I have two teenagee boys, a preschooler, a dog and three cats. I also have a husband with allergies.

I've been able to replace some of our carpet with laminate flooring, but most of our home still has allergen-holding carpet.

I do have a 10-year old Hoover that I just took in for service that does have some suction now, but the motor on my better Eureka vac just burned up a couple of weeks ago.

I had hoped to keep the Hoover downstairs for occasional cleaning in the basement, but since the Eureka died, it's now my upstairs vacuum. I'd love to add a Dyson to the family.
At May 24, 2008 12:31 PM seeryusfam@msn.com said...: I put the button on my side bar, you'll have to check it out!

I need a Dyson to keep dirt out of my home because I have a 9 month old (holy cow, I can't believe she's 9 months already!), and she's crawling...not only does she put EVERYTHING in her mouth, but she's all over the joint. This would be ever so handy dandy! Thanks for the chance to win!

If using a Dyson is as close to as I'm going to get to James Dyson and that sexy accent of his, then so be it.
I'm tired of my friends telling me how much they love their Dysons.
No one has one with the Ball yet though. Wouldn't I be the talk of the town if I got one first!!?! Ü
At May 24, 2008 1:05 PM Julie D said...: One dog, a 3 year old, a 5 year old, a 10 year old, a husband, and grandma and a grandpa and me. Adds up to a lot of dirt.

At May 24, 2008 2:47 PM Jen said...: I saw this contest over at Red Sox Mommy and just HAD TO ENTER! You see, we're on our 6th vacuum since being married (7 years) and it just broke last week. I'm at my wits end with these WANNA BE Dysons! I've wanted a Dyson FOREVER! This vacuum would come at a time where it is MUCH needed. I have a almost 3 year old who is a tornado and a 9 month old who likes to eat from the messes she makes! He eats anything in sight, which is not a good thing when he's down on the floor crawling.. . . Anyways, I'd LOVE this vacuum and would use it EVERYDAY! :)

BTW- my blog is private, but I'd be more than happy to send you an invite (as though you don't have enough to do already) so you can view my post. I also added the contest badge to this post and on my sidebar.
