Sorry to interrupt you guys on this forum.

Having noted a few of the discussions on here and perhaps its been mentioned before but Ive gone through 3 Dysons and I can't say (even though I'm British) that they are the best on the market for build quality. However the point of Dyson is that he will never launch an upright vacuum that will have manual adjustments for floors. The whole idea of a vacuum in principle with added wheels actually adjusts automatically to floors anyway but the Dyson suction principle thanks to those cyclones means that despite having no adjustment necessary, everything from the floor will be sucked up and put into the bin. With that patent on board there is no need for a manual adjustment and in terms of Dyson, the need to put mechanical adjustment means something else that needs to be sorted out when it breaks. Simplicity is the key and each new upright that Dyson launches tries to be better than before. I've tried the DC24 and I'm very impressed with it even though I'm not that happy with the way its been built in terms of the back wheels. I still struggled to get under low furniture with it and found that the ball gets in the way. Over my Sebo Felix which is smaller than the baby DC24, it may well use a bag but its a lot easier to manage for day to day pick up.



Hi Ryan, have you not seen the DC28 yet? Manual height control...and a system far more complex and - potentially - likely to go wrong than a simple 4-wheels-and-a-slider set-up! Possibly more effective too, although that remains to be seen...

Glad to hear from you.  Thanks for the forthright and honest broker assessments of dysons models.  My son-in-law spent several years in the UK playing pro basketball and became familiar with dysons before they launched in the USA.  His assessments, a consumer user of vacuums only, are similar to many of yours, including the adjustments.

Hi guys thanks for the welcome. I'm also a Guide at a certain review site company too. Anyway I just called Dyson UK. They can confirm that they will have a new Dyson out although it was due in May it has now been pushed forward to June or July. The model will be called the DC27 as opposed to 28 and it has a few features which is different to the Ball series. I can see why Dyson have finally tried to nudge forward with older settings - for a start it doesn't have a Ball, no swivel function and it has a normal fixed wheel sole plate. It mirrors the DC16 on dust capacity and has a slimmer flatter floor head. This will have been done possibly in response to a myriad of uprights that slimmer floor heads such as Sebo's Felix/X series and others. The DC27 will also have a clear inspection roller bar and a beater roll bar to meet the carpet only - whilst this may well be a manual setting in itself I'm not quite sure.
