Quick! Somebody contact David Oreck! He'll be glad to know he can now advertise the new permanent belt feature :-)
Dusty
He knows already, I'm sure. Permanent until it breaks off, and/or is replaced. Certainly, it should not be used without a belt. Hence, the belt is permanent. Just like a permanent cloth bag. Thank you, Dusty.

I guess I'm still confused what the change was then. If they "changed" it to make it "permanent" but it always has been removable does that mean it used to be disposable?
I can tell you are confused. Let me try to assist you in your confusion. Yes, in fact it was disposable. Why? During the dyson launch in 2002, many of the DC-07 display models lacked the joint. completely. Either it was sitting along side the vacuum, or on top of the vacuum, and/or still in the box in the warehouse without a purpose in life. As I said, the bright yellow colored thumb tab on the u bend air way joint was an open invitation for lookers to press/step on. When they did, off it came and it stayed off. Without the store staff knowing how to re-attach/for what purpose it was needed and used. Pray tell: Is it still that way JackD when you saw it??

Thank you, Dusty. Carmine D. Kind of like a filter that doesn't clog...until it clogs. I get your thinking now. I wonder if NAD would agree with you. Dusty

Jack already gave you an answer That "upbend" thing slid off with a push of a thumb. Kind of seems like it would come in handy to get stuff out that you probably shouldn't have run over in the first place. Pretty impressive. Jack managed to not only remove but put back the permanent UBend on his first attempt. It's amazing nobody else could figure that out back in the day. Dusty

With not having the DC25 in Canada I can't give you an answer on that one. The DC24 roller, though sparse with the brushes seems to do a decent enough job on the carpet. We use Dysons when we demo Capture or Sebo cleaning powder and the 24 does an admirable job at picking the powder up.
Dusty Hi Dusty Thanks for your reply. I have never understood why Dyson brushes on their brush bars are spaced too wide apart! Plus the brushes are very short! The DC25 has slightly smaller turfs but not so spaced out like the DC24 and I have to say when I tested the DC25 and DC24 the DC25 brush bar is a much welcomed improvement over the DC24, DC18 and DC15! You could see the pile being lifted and groomed! The original DC01 had triple row of brushes which where spaced out in line with each row, which worked very well! DC18

From my perspective, obviously the minority, your statement proves my point that the u-bend airway joint is permanent. No part of it should be unused/replaced/thrown away. Thank you, Motor. Carmine D. Does this definition describe the u bend ? I think not. permanent" not capable of being reversed or returned to the original condition You originally said the u joint could not be removed. That would be stationary which I (and likely all) suspect is whatg you intended to say. sta·tion·ar·y (st  sh -n r  ) adj. 1. a. Not moving. b. Not capable of being moved; fixed.

Hello menschkins: Looks like it's time to gang up on the old vacuum guy. Let me ask you learned gents who posted: Did you look up the definition of "permanent" in the dictionary? Would you care to and post it here? You're good at that Dusty. I suspected you would have by now. Unless it shoots down your argument? If you do, then we can intelligently debate it's application to the u bend joint and the majority/minority views? How's that menschkins? For all the dyson fans who believe the u bend air way joint is a good vacuum design and application, [I think Dusty you posted that if not Jack D, or JimB, I can't keep track of you dyson guys when you post in packs] did dyson continue to use on models after the DC14? For example..... Why?Why not? Carmine D.
