Sadly DIB, dyson in the UK/with one corporate office in Chicago, Illinois has no more success keeping present and former dyson owners from frequenting independent vacuum store owners/operators than it does policing all the USA retailers for its MAP policies. It's an impossible task. Carmine D.
Hence the ORECK business model is superior.

Sorry MH- but thanks. A picture may be worth 1000 words but seeing in person is believing. Of course, once dyson updates its UK/USA Web Sites with the DC27, I'll be a believer. No offense, sir. But James carries more weight than you. A stray picture[s] with no dyson annotations doesn't impress me as truthful and final. Carmine D. Why don't you drive over to your local Sam's Club and see for yourself? Take a camera and post your findings. Or you can look at the image url. DIB

Here's the parts diagram for the US DC27 models. Naysayers note the complete lack of clutch, the separate brushbar motor is clearly visible. Hopefully this will clear things up once and for all (ahem, Carmine), though somehow I doubt it. Either way, any arguing from here on out about the "clutch troubles" is pointless since it will no longer be an issue for US models. 
Same sort of setup as the DC17 (US) Model!

Must say, I'm still puzzled. Scrub the DC07 in the USA due to the faulty and useless clutch. Ok, fine. Then, scrub the DC14 in the USA for the faulty and useless clutch. Fine again. I'm with James on both moves. But, then a supposed brand new dyson DC27 that is the same as the old DC17? Just a new model number? Why? To be an exclusive model for Sam's Club? A new model number? Unless the DC17 is nearing the chopping block too. I'll have to wait until dyson updates the USA Web Site and compare features for the two models.

I have said it before and I will repeat. Dyson is following in Hoover's foor steps. Too many models. Do not improve, simply change the model number.
However, the huge difference is HOOVER vacuums are much less expensive [big box retail venue where model changes are more frequent], much better performers [per March 2009 Consumer Reports HOOVER has 7 of the 20 top uprights including the number 1 and 2 of the 10 top canns]. HOOVER vacuums have a longer production life for sales [read: parts and repairs]. Example: Empower, Fold-away, Elite, TEMPO, WT's are years even decades into production. Not true with your fave brand, if it still is dyson. DC07, gone. DC11, gone. DC14, gone. DC18, gone. DC17?
BTW, dyson eeked out the 13 th and 19th spot in uprights and 17th spot in canns according to the latest CR. And the 19th rater is getting axed by dyson. Why? The useless $135 clutch. Carmine D.
