Gransnet Insight end of year thread: chances to win! NOW CLOSED

fit bit. mineral make up and a bean to cup coffee maker

I would be interested to product test just about everything that has been mentioned so far on this thread. Also air purifiers, which do not seem to have been mentioned. Whether there are real health benefits to using them and why.

I would love to test a real bean to cup coffee machine ... I have looked at many but really get confused! I also love the look of the multi-cookers - but again so many to choose from!

air fresheners/air wicks that make the house smell nice without lots of chemicals and keep their smell.

I'd love to test an electric razor

i would love to review a vacuum or clothes

anti aging skin creams and other products for us old wrinklies ? Especially neck cream lol.

I've signed up as a new tester, (Maybe tempted by the chance to test wine, LOL!)
I'd be interested to test garden weedkillers that won't harm wildlife.

I too would be interested in weight loss, ready- prepared diets. I need to lose weight as my health is suffering. Has anyone experience of the 'natural ketones' ready prepared diet, please?

Soup maker

I would love to try a supporting memory m allergy free mattress and or a neck pillow. I never sleep due to back and neck spin and skin allergy so I would love to know more about this mind-field of products.

Products to help ease the misery of the menopause. I appreciate some women sail through it but for others, it's just sheer misery. All sorts of products are aimed at this problem but how many actually work, I'd love to know.

I would like a decent cream that gets rid of wrinkles and lines. I have thinning hair, and its very thin or should I say fine hair, its like baby hair something very good without costing the earth.
Finally I would like to test a steam cleaner in the home, that does everything, floors, curtains, and presses to would love it if it all worked.and Finally happy new year to you all.

I would love to trial a face cream or something to make my wrinkles less wrinkly.

Anything for backache and neck pain .
I have tried different expensive pillows and memory mattresses but still can’t not get a good nights sleep or rest

A cordless vacuum cleaner please.

I'm not sure whether vacuum cleaners are getting heavier or I'm not as strong as I think I am!

I would love to try some form of light box for SAD. I find every year my depression sadly picks up and my tablets I take no longer work half as well, I exercise where I can, but have heard light boxes can work wonders.

Eye make up that stays put

I'd love to trial epilators. Following the recent discussion on GN it seems obvious that facial hair removal is a problem for so many of us.

Itchy scalp shampoo for eczema not dandruff. I used to use Polytar but it's now virtually impossible to get and if you do find it then the price is ridiculous.

Bit cheeky but can I test a vacuum cleaner, mines pants.

I would love to product test a iRobot Roomba 980 Robot Vacuum Cleaner this would be such a treat

Any ecological cleaning products, pillows, iPads/tablets.

I don't mind what I get a chance to test, although I would prefer not to test products from companies that test on animals like L'Oréal.

Hair thinning products would be near the top of my list, but I agree with the suggestion about testing products designed to make our lives easier as we get older. That covers a wide range of products from gadgets to food, so there's plenty of scope there.

Do service providers ever need us for research? Another area I thought about are initiatives aimed at helping people to learn new or different skills. Watching the latest series of Hotel Marigold I was impressed with the amount of government provision for retired people to take part in and it was China that stood out. I was astounded how much organised activity is available in China. It offers a 'University for Retired People', but it was nothing like the U3A. It was far less sophisticated, yet very user friendly and well attended - definitely part of the solution to loneliness in the elderly. Perhaps some service providers would like to use us to research new ideas? We could become focus or pilot groups for similar initiatives in the UK. Just a thought.

It would be fun to test drive pretty much anything.
