Nomade Express Slee...
i'm in the middle of moving into a lovely new home. this would be perfect!
OH-MY-GOD ! ! !
If you're already signed up for the daily e-mails, are you automatically in the drawing? I've got a chihuahua/doxie mix that sheds her body weight in hair everyday!
Please! Green parrot feathers, auburn boxer fuzz and 50 % gray dust bunnies are apparently not good design !
Drat. just bought a new vacum after 20 YEARS ( i kid you not) with the same vacuum!
Pleaseee, pleaseee. i need it!
We are just about to move and have a lot of vaccuuming ahead of us . . . we could give this a good home and good exercise!
small, powerful, and mine...if I'm lucky!
fingers crossed...
wow wow wubzy. wanna win.
please please. i need!
I still need a better vac, with two cats and all...COUNT ME IN!
OMG please i want this!!!
pretty please....i really really really want this....
Jobless with two dogs & one small apartment with a cheep-o bag based vac that I just keep ripping the dirt out of by hand.... Please oh please relive me of this carpet nightmare.
i really need a new vacuum!
i want it....please.
Achoo, ahem, achoo..bleh, bleh...oh 2 cats and an roomie that prefers spreading crumbs rather than use our dining table. Joys of NY living. Oh, yes, how a Dyson can change my...ah-choo...life. Purdy please.
oh my word, we need a new vacuum (actually - a vacuum period). WAY out of our price range for something like this, but it would be a highly appreciated luxury!
Oh my gosh! My asmathic kitty would love the cleaner floors....our current vac is not so great.
We've been vacuuming our rugs with a 100 pound wet-dry shop vac for over a year, please god let this be mine!
I have been DREAMING of Dyson - please let my magical dreams full of unicorns and fairies and Dysons come true!
I need this! My handheld Shark vac is no match for my West Elm that NEVER stops shedding.
Have always wanted a Dyson
So you heard about cat #3 that my Mom sneaked into my house, huh?
How spoiled would I be with a Dyson??! I drool over this machine, and yet it seems so far out of my budget to actually own one. Here's throwing my hat in the ring...
Fingers are crossed.
OMG!
My two sisters and I currently share ONE vacuum between our THREE houses (and one sister has a ton of pets, I have to really clean it after she uses it, ugh)
Please! The old vacuum I found on the street isn't really cutting it anymore.
omg, i would cry if i had one of these, imagine the possibilities!
I dreamed I won! seriously!
Wishing, and hoping, and dreaming that this baby's mine
My 20+ year old hand-me-down vacuum finally gave up the ghost. This would be a lifesaver! Not to mention I wouldn't have to keep borrowing my boyfriend's vacuum to clean up after my monster felines.
please, pretty please!!
This would be one of my dream product, I cannot believe AT is giving it away; crazy! SWEET ! ! !
my fingers, toes, and eyes are crossed.
Wow, this I could definitely use! It looks like it would be very easy to put away. Me likey.
I was just telling the cat that he would have to be shaved and learn to use the toilet or we need to invest in a vaccuum....cat hair and litter on black floors! The bane of my existence.
My lovely dog says to give it to me. We need it!
I have a new baby and no vacuum cleaner. And a lot of dust. ... I'm just sayin'...
must. have. this.
best vacuum in the world!
I've got a cheep vacuum because I covet the Dyson. We would have a very good relationship, I'm sure of that!
3 cats + Dyson = heaven
*hopes hopes hopes hopes*
I think if I won this I would pass out. My house would finally, finally be cat-hair-free. Or close to free, because I would vacuum every frickin' day. (How does one spell "frickin'"
dyson is the platinum of vacuums!
Dyson makes a dynamite vacuum. Alas, I do not yet have one. My pets and house will have to settle for inefficient and ineffective sweeping. Unless...I win this!
i'm a slob and have just moved in with my extremely neat boyfriend. who loves vacuuming. I think this would make an excellent "thanks for putting up with me!" present.
Maybe there should also be a "I already get the daily email" button - I am never sure to put yes or no with this question. By the way, it's really full of good stuff! Thanks.
this is not only a great appliance but it's SOOOOOO cute -- why, you'd be fighting people off, just to vaccuum
also, my current vaccuum is on it's last legs. . .errr, wheels
my old electrolux is on its last gasp. . .
first time and new homeowner (closed aug. 20) with off-white carpet and 2 german shepherds and a cat!!!! 3 weeks later i am contemplating new carpet. help...so house poor. m
pretty please?
just moved to a city apartment. This would be so awewsome.
4 cats - Dyson yes.
My vacuum cleaner blows...
I need one that sucks.
please
:)
No more cat hair! Except for on the actual cat.
Leo, my dog says we have to get this.
my vacuum just died and I live in a tiny little apartment... this would be perfect!
I totally need a new vacuum and this would be awesome.
Can you add an option for already receiving the AT email like the kitchn has in their form, please?
My current vaccum is about to die :(...could definitely use this one..I've had my eye on it
ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh!
yes please.
Since my roommate just tried to vacuum up an entire dead bird with my vacuum (thanks, kitty!)? Yes, please!
We need one of these pretty badly. We have a 70lb ball of fur and spit that we need to clean up after and this would really really help!
Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease.
I will be nice.
So out of my price range. *So* coveted!
I hope I win this ... I haven't vacuumed my floors for WEEKS now, just waiting for it!
: )
Wow. Nothing beats free.
Have been using my very design PC K. Rashid Cone Dustbuster, but it just doesn't get under the couch. The power to vacumn surfaces with more than a bunnies breath would be welcome, to pull off the dusty veneer, long accustomed to its home would be a delight and thus to shed light on a new, brighter age.
Worth a try. thanks
love it. need it. want it.
very sad that canadians can't have clean floors, too.
I'd love it!
i want to give it to my mother. she needs a new one badly.
That vacuum is a thing of beauty. I assume it cleans well, too!
I'm sure it's a great vacuum...would help to keep all the cat hair at bay!
Dysons are the best vacuums...
What a generous giveaway!
We have an upright Kenmore - the cord on it split some time ago so my husband scraped the old rubber off and cut the wires and put an extension cord in its place (scared me initially, but it works...) It is super heavy to carry up and down the stairs and we have these really great and pretty old wide pine floor boards with 1/4" gaps between them so with three kids, we vacuum a lot (sweeping only pushed the crumbs into the gaps - whole bunch of silly stories about our floorboard gaps...) Anyway, I would be SO grateful to be the recipient in this giveaway since Dyson vacuums are, for us, expensive!
Anyway, how cool is this? AT is my favorite thing to look up other than my email online so with a giveaway it's like a good glass of wine presented with cheesecake.
Yes, please.
A whole HEPA joy in such a small package ... I'll take it, thank you!
Form and function! could anyone ask for more? God, do I need a decent vacuum, the kitty fur has taken over my apartment.
Maybe Dyson would be interested in creating an "Apartment Therapy model" and give us all a discount on the "official Apartment Therapy vacuum" price.
I vacuum almost everyday. This vacuum would make it so I might only need it every other day! What a great product.
I am speechless! I was sucking up the layers of cat hair from my stairwell last night!!! AT 1:30 am. I have to win this item.
I'm moving to a place with lots o' grey wool carpet, big money!
Please Please pretty please!
2 cats! need vacuum....please
Mousetrap and Shoebox (the world's cutest kitties) need this vacuum!
Oh lordy. PLEASE PLEASE may I please have this vacuum? It's pretty much what I want most in the world. If I get it, my life will be complete.
2 beagles, manhattan, enough beagle hair to create a litter without DNA extraction.
Please please please we need this!! (we've already laid 2 dustbusters to rest....dyson...you are our only hope)
black hardwood floors are a never ending cleaning process, this would certainly help.
900 sq. ft. Cursed with wall-to-wall carpet. 2 large dogs. 1 toddler. I need this vacuum!
I didn't see any form in the daily email as stated in contest rules. Is this how to enter--by making a comment?
must have.
I would love it! Seeing as I could never afford it myself!!!
oh man my vacuum is a beast. i would love to put it on craigslist and have this little gem instead!

dear giveaway gods, select me!
fingers crossed!

I love cleaning!
only way i could own one is if i win one. would be nice.
Wow!
Bring on the Dyson Stowaway!
Please bless my family & I with this vacuum! We live in over a 100 yr old home and this would work wonders in it I believe!! Help us!
My third vacuum of the year just died last week. I am desperate for something that can handle cat hair!
What a great vacuum cleaner!
pick me... please
I've had the same vacuum cleaner since college (20 years). I think I'm allowed to get a new one now, right?
i know that if i say i want it bad, i wont ever get it. so i will just say that i dont want it.
great vacuum, i want one
I cross my fingers...
oh wow! this is so perfect...
in love!
:D
I also don't see the form in the emails so I'm just going to re-sign up at the top, that okay? Thanks
Ooo Ooo Oooo Me Puhleeze.
Thank you kindly.
To enter this Thursday Giveaway, please submit the form in our daily email during the next week.
another 'I also don't see the form in the emails' person here. can we consider this my entry? and can someone explain why the form isn't in the emails?
oooo! i want one!!
The perfect vacuum for my family of 5!
MY family would love this! Our $70 Sears vacuum just doesn't cut it!
Dyson rocks
I need something to replace my el-cheapo Dirt Devil. Please.
yes please!
My basement flooded when my sump pump failed this weekend with all the rain. Two vacuum cleaners were ruined. Once repairs are done, my insurance won't stretch far enough to cover buying a new vacuum. This one would brighten up my day.
pick me! pick me!
I just moved into my dream apartment that gets flooded with lots of sun throughout the day. One drawback is that every spec of dust shows on nearly all the surfaces. This bad boy sure would help in reducing the dust.
My room mate would love me for this!
Unclear how to enter. Is this entering? Would love it!
i couldnt find the form.... :(
i needs!!!1
Take that, dog fur!
My fingers are crossed (I've got a shag rug and a kid who loves couscous).
Nedd a vacuum- badly.
it's compact and i have lots of shag!
My 100 year old Persian rug would LOOOVE this (please!) Thank you!
Please. White fluffly kitty, dark hardwood floors. Need help.
this would be purrfekt for my carpet-covered stairs!!!
would love a new vacuum, need one for the all wool rug, too many little dust bunnies around
thanks!
Would love one
