Transformers: Vacuums in Disguise (Dyson DC25 Giveaway!)

by Christine - From Dates to Diapers on June 20, 2009

Hello there! Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by. If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to my RSS feed for updates. Come back soon!

Last year we had the privilege of reviewing one of the best vacuums ever – The Dyson DC25. I discussed how easy it is to maneuver, and how it cut down on allergies in the air. Zach and Ray even created a fun video displaying how well this Dyson Ball vac moves. This short clip still makes me laugh out loud!

Well, you can imagine how excited my kiddos and I were to discover that the vacuum we have used (and abused) is making it’s Hollywood debut next week. That’s right, the Dyson DC25 makes an appearance as a Decepticon robot in Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. My boys always said that our vacuum reminded them of a robot. Maybe that’s why they loved to vacuum!

We’re not sure what the DC25-cum-robot looks like in the movie, but thanks to my friends at Dyson I was directed to some of the speculations ::

and, my favorite:
dyson-dc25-robot1
