Trilobite I know what you mean, I bet if someone did the same with a DC14 it would feel different! More powerful. I have tried it on my DC15 and what a difference plugging up that hole mades, so much so that i can hardly push it a easily as before. The carpet pile lifts so much better and I could see the carpet being lift where the nozzle was! Yes I have to agree what you say about Hoover edge cleaning. The Hoover Turbopower (1980's) for one had great side\edge suction cleaning performance, with it's flared edge brushes on the brush roll. Even Hoover (UK) have stopped doing this now! The side 'whiskers' on the DC07 where quite good why they dropped it after the DC14 who knows? Sebo Felix has very good edge cleaning too. DC18

You probably don't have the Orecks in the UK. For those who do, look at the Oreck edge cleaners. Compare to the dyson DC07. Makes the DC07 edge cleaners look useless. Oreck's edge cleaners work both on bare floors and rugs. The best I've found so far in design function and performance.

Orecks are sold in the UK, mainly in catalogues targeted at 'seniors', looking for new ways to spend their children's inheritance. Possibly in independent dealers too, but like in the US, they're a dying breed these days.

The seniors and/or the Orecks? Certainly not independent vacuum store owners and operators who have kept a steady and stable presence in the US for over 50 years! Oreck has a network of about 500 stores nationwide in the US. Has never closed a store to my knowledge after it's opened and continues to open new stores almost weekly. For most who have used the Oreck stores, whether for Oreck/other brands, they give the stores very high praise, both staff and atmosphere. Myself included. Despite the common misconception proliferated by some so called x-perts, the 8 pack of bags sell for $16.95 not $25 as the x-perts say. Oreck says 8 should last the average user one year. $2 every 50 days is a small price that most would be willing to pay for the luxury of not having to dump a dirt bin every few days. I may stop by one of the Oreck stores and pick up a pack soon and say hi to Dave. Carmine D.

The fact that it takes so many uses to fill an Oreck bag and only a few days to fill a Dyson dirt bin tells me that the Oreck is leaving a lot of dirt in the home. Thanks for confirming what the experts already knew.
