Only difference between these 2 models in the UK is one has the clutch setup to turn the brush bar off the another is a standard motor driven brush bar direct from the motor using a standard rubber belt! The cyclone and filter setup is the same! Both don't have HEPA filters, as it mentions there is HEPA models available (Allergy and Animal). DC18 That is the clue: a constantly rotating brush, especially on hard floors, can flick particles and allergens out of the airstream.
Who has used an upright with a constantly turning brush, and noticed grit, sand, or peanuts flicked out by the agitator?

UK Catalogue High Street chain Argos has the DC27 models on their website with some technical information on this new model: 1300 watt motor 255 air watts measured through the hose Hose length 3.73m (catalogue says 16ft hose) 2.3 Litre dust bin Available from February 2009 Interesting to see the motor wattage is lower than the out going DC14 and the air watts to!

WRT noise, Which? may be a more conservative grader than CR:
Which? describe their sound-test thus: 'Noise levels are tested by placing vacuum cleaners in specially-configured sound chambers, surrounding them with carefully placed microphones to measure decibels reached.'
My guess would be that perhaps the average European cleaner is quieter than the average American cleaner. So a Dyson might seem quiet when compared to others in the US, but louder than others in the UK. In my own experience, I wouldn't say I find any Dyson - with the possible exception of the DC03 - quiet, but nor do I find them loud, and certainly not uncomfortably so.

Hi gang,
"Walls and corners" refers to edge cleaning doesn't it? Which, by the way, is a term I haven't heard in a month of Sundays. Has its importance in sales pitches dimished?

Hi Venson:
Interestingly, the HSN Julie HOOVER demo today keyed in on the walls and corners aka edge cleaning. She used both sides of the nozzle head to show equidistant suction power all around. One of the tenets of WT technology. Carmine D.
