The New Dyson DC27 Upright!
Original Message   Jan 6, 2009 5:45 pm
Having another topic mentioned some new vax machines on a Littlewoods website, I had a look around to see what else might be new and came across the 'new' Dyson DC27 Upright, see link below:

They have 2 Models on their website 'Animal' and 'All Floors', first look suggests an update version of the US DC17 but for the UK\Europe markets.  This will be the replacement for the popular DC14.  I thought a separate motor for the brush bar like the DC17 would have been standard, but looks like it uses the DC04\DC07\DC14 clutch setup!   Not sure as the website doesn't say if it just has a slim root cyclone technology or the core is included!   It does look like it has more small cyclones than the current DC14 and DC15 and DC25 models.  See picture of DC27 All Floors model below!  DC18

Cleaning the stairs w/the rotating brush of the upright or the power nozzle of a canister will bring the best results. Using an upholstery attachment or mini turbo brush will clean, but will not be as effective as the previously mentioned.  The upright has a wider path, so cleaning the stairs can be completed faster than the upholstery attachment.  It is also more aggressive than a mini turbo brush or suction alone.  Even if the suction is strong,  thorough cleaning of thicker carpeting requires more than suction.


Which is why I have always preferred using the electric mini nozzles that come with Kenmore and Electrolux.  I have done my snare of stair cleaning too and the electric mini nozzles served quite well for me even on stair carpeting that had priorly gotten lick and a promise going over.  The turboi nozzles depend too much on airflow to keep the brush running up ot speed and cleanning suction is sacrificed for that reason.

Evewn if straight suction, maller tools also allow for easier access to routing lint and dust in corners and between balusters in one fell swoop.  May not work for you but it certainly works for me -- and the job gets done in no time.

Best,

Venson

PS -- forgot to mention it is usual to give the risers a hit too.  That is not easily achieved with with a full-sized upright.

......

My greater point has always been - CR is withholding information.  Not only over the small stuff (acceptable), but withholding over the big stuff (unacceptable)...

CR is notorious for omitting major advances to the vacuum cleaner.  It must infuriate manufacturers when they spend many millions on these advances only to have CR willfully and unfairly omit these advancements (i.e. inventions).  Is it hard to detach a hose and wand and demonstrate or mention?  The upright is an American favorite, yet CR chooses not to mention these advances, let along do a video demonstration.  Although they do go out of their way to video the upright cleaning stairs in an unsafe manner (some folks can do safely, some cannot).  The paying and trusting reader looses, and the innovative manufacturer[s] looses.

CR should mention the top [mechanical] methods and then recommend.

As Carmine mentioned, the Kirby portable handle does allow the Kirby to be used to deep clean stair treads very effectively. However, it does not get deep in the corners and the join of the riser and the tread.

Have to use the crevice tool, on the hose OR, you can take a cordless dustbuster with crevice tool and just keep moving it to the step underneath the one you are cleaning w/ the Kirby hand portable. It works well, and done in one go

In the mail, I received the Sam's Club Spring Cleaning magazine called "Source."   Advertised for sale as an exclusive for select Sam' s Clubs is dyson's DC27 for $479.62.  I quote:  " Features patented Root Cyclone technology that doesn't lose suction as you vacuum."    With an asterisked footnote:  Dyson proves no loss of suction using IEC C1 29 test standard.
