The DC27 - to replace the DC07 & DC14. Say good-bye to the [on some carpet types] temperamental clutch.

It's true, no more clutch.  It uses a brushroll motor.

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.

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.

Excellent idea!   If I were not putting a new water softener unit in my daughter and son-in-law's house in the next hour, I probably would do just that.  In the meantime, I'm following the tragic reports coming from Binghamton NY.

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.

Just to confirm (Canada anyway), there is no clutch on the DC27. Separate brush motor controlled by a switch behind the ON/OFF.  New roller, much longer bristles.  Nice machine all in all.

Dusty,

Besides the brushroll and motor, what are some of the key features Dyson reps are telling you of this machine?

How do you plan to sell it vice a DC17/14/07?

Thank you.
DIB
