I can not comment on any other that has used a simular auto height adjuster like the Sebo X4.  I've demo'd a Sebo X4 and it seem light in use, and no heavy to pickup than any standard upright!  From the demo the machine adjusted the head cleaning height to the correct height for that floor type.  You can see a demo on the Sebo UK website of this.  The way the Sebo work it uses an onboard computer which is constantly monitor and adjusting the cleaning head height using a centre wheel underneath.  I believe also in conjuction with the brush bar, it senses when the brush bar is in contact with the carpet and adjusts to the correct height (not too low or too high).  The Felix does not have this feature but an indicator tells you if you have the manual height too high or too low!

The Sebo X4 and Felix feels like they has 'self propelled' built in as the cleaner moves\glides forward with minimum effort to push it!

The one thing I used to find on cleaners I've used with manual height adjustment is that there is always a carpet in the house where none of the settings suit.  Too high or too low!  Where as self adjusting there is no issue, but thats my personal opinion from my own usage!

Yes there is a foot pedal fitted to the DC15\18\24\25, but what does this foot pedal do?  Release the stabliser wheels\carriage up out of the way nothing else.  You mentioned a foot release\pedal that releases the body so far and locked it like most other vacuums. So you can lift the cleaning head over rugs etc.... The foot pedal on these Dyson models don't do this!  Yes it is a foot pedal but not like other vacuums use!

I wouldn't call the clutch dial on the DC03\04\07\14 a foot pedal, just a dial, regardless how you operate that dial!

The MEMA filter has been replaced with other sorts which Dyson now use.  The airways are different on each Dyson model.  Thats down to each model design\setup I would of thought!

My point is that Dyson, having previously been somewhat wary of pedals, controls, switches, etc., is now fitting those very things to his machines.

Dyson's tag helps generate up to a billion-two in annual sales.  What dollar figure do you place on your tag?        DIB

I don't understand where complex controls has any relevance here, because Dyson is still focusing on ease of use and has no plans of changing that.  In James' autobiography he mentioned that he "would never make someone bend down to fiddle with pedals, controls, or dials", and so he hasn't.

Well said DC18!

Hello Mole:

There's a new logo in town:  "dyson your rugs."  That's when you pretend you are vacuuming your rugs by running a high priced, poor performing excuse for a vacuum over the rugs.  Then Tom Gasko dumps the dirt bin with nothing in it and says: Look everyone, just like James says in his autobiography: There's no dirt cloud when you dump a dyson dirt bin.  Dah.  You're right Tom Gasko and James Dyson but only when the dirt bin is empty.
