The DC27 - to replace the DC07 & DC14. Say good-bye to the [on some carpet types] temperamental clutch.
Original Message   Mar 12, 2009 4:11 pm
It's true, no more clutch.  It uses a brushroll motor.

Hiya MOLE,

 it's why I can't simply walk down the block and find the same priced as reasonably.

Venson/MOLE:

As pointed out by several posters here, DC07 and DC14 prices are going to have to come crashing down [with their discontinuance] on the new/used vacuum market.  When their prices do, so will all the new/used dyson upright prices on the USA market.  Compounded by the bad economic conditions and lackluster sales.

Hi Carmine,

Dont you think its about time they come down to earth and come out of the denial that they been in?

Of course with the prices bottoming out,  the propoganda and fancy advertising will come thankfully to a end.

You got to admit they milked it and the public for all they could.

GOOD BY JIMMY/ AND D.I.B. go tell your story to the japanese..........

Hi MOLE:

Truth be told, and sooner or later it is, dyson's best sales years in dollars and units were 2005/6.  Despite all the hullabaloo here since 2005/6 by dyson cheerleaders about the latest in vacuum features and technology [pause for a short period of guffaws and coughing]..........................................................., its been all down hill for James and dyson since.   Dyson is and always will be a niche player in the USA vacuum market, if it survives.

Not to highjack this thread but  the internet and ebay are killing the dyson dealers and box stores, Can you justify the 2 to 3 hundred dollar price difference between the legit dealers and the bootleggers on line?Dont give me the B.S. story about yours are first run machines and come with the factory warranty intact.

That story is getting real OLD,

I would say DYSON better start looking at $150.00 and under market,after all thats all any of their JUNK is really worth>>>>>>>>

Dusty,

Let me take this one...  This is something I have studied for some time...

They're are two primary groups selling Dyson's on eBay...  1) Authorized dealers and 2) Thieves.  I have posted many police blotters, news - online stories, news - video and surveillance video detailing Dyson thefts.  Saying something over and over does not make it true, bellying up and proving-something-out makes it true.

The spring is shown on the schematic, #8 on the left hand side.  From memory (I'm at home) I believe it was attached fro the body to the floating brush head.  By doing this it eliminates the problem the DC07 had with the sole plate not always making full contact with the floor.

Maneuvering definitely has a place in the vacuum industry.  I will agree that the Dyson pn is by far the most steerable, the Sebo shown isn't bad but pales in comparison to either the Wessell Werk or Riccar powerheads.  I'd give these two a close runner up to the Dyson. The Ball uprights certainly are maneuverable but the also aren't for everyone.  I have seen people with bad wrists or shoulders struggle with the steering aspect.  It would be nice to see Dyson bring the handle weight of these machines down a little bit, it would certainly make ease of use better.

As far as the DC22 nozzle goes, I can see where it would have it's fans and also it's detractors. In our area, where house prices have gone thru the roof the trend is toward condos which also means less square footage, tighter living areas and less storage.  Small machines are a good seller for us but there are still customers who want smaller and smaller with a powerhead would be even better.  We'll see what happens when the machines hit the market here and what price they come in at.

Dusty

Dusty,

Dyson Ball:
There are few products that are all things to all people for sure.  The Dyson Ball is a huge break-thru product that answers a problem other manufacturers *failed to answer.  And it turns better than anything on the planet!  I was told many times... the DC18 Slim sells itself.  The Slim commercial sold the vacuum and it never suctioned up a single thing.  People want better lives and Dyson delivered and is being rewarded monetarily.

FYI, Dyson has a patent application that addresses the inability for Dyson Ball vacuums to lay prone/near prone.  The patent does not claim any prone/near prone abilities but the illustrations do.  The stabilizer wheels collapse forward and out of the way.

DC22 steering:
I was challenged here to look closer at the DDM Motorhead nozzle.  After viewing video of the turning abilities, it is a winner and stands alone.  But, I have yet to see this Wessell Werk or Riccar powerheads, I’d like to see em, I’d appreciate it if could point me to an illustration, etc..

If this nozzle (9” to 11”) were place on other (less expensive) Dyson canisters I’d think they would sell very well based on the Slim and Dyson Ball sales.  I too, see this vacuum being desired by those in smaller homes, condos and apartments.

DC27:
I missed the spring.  Thank you.  I watched the DC14 and/or DC07 demonstrated on HSN long ago and knew then that the front of the nozzle lifted on the pull back stroke (after running the clip back frame-by-frame) not good for suctioning to say the least, although it maybe was due to a fast pulling back, but I’m not sure.  The spring is a cheap N fast fix.  The DC27 carrying handle looks like it’s the lowest in his full size category.  Now Dyson has 3 vacuums in 3 categories that can be carried easily/easier and/or carried upstairs easily/easier than before.

Hi DIB

Interesting to hear Dyson is looking at the issue with the ball vacuums inability to lay prone!  Sounds interesting the stabilizer wheels collapse forward, look forward to seeing that invention!  Can the illustration be viewed?

Now the original DC01 used a rubber piece (very small) on the pivoting soleplate to make sure it said in contact with the floor!  Like an elastic band effect! I have to say the very first DC01 that didn't have a pivoting soleplate performed better I think in terms of cleaning performance! The pivoting soleplate on the DC01 was not seal so well as they are now so some of the suction was lost I think (from experience of both types).

Hello DC18,

Hey, your a fan of Sir James.  Why don't you install a TIFF Viewer plug-in [into] your browser (viewer is needed to view U.S. patents) and take a look at the many Dyson applications and many non-vacuums inventions too.  And post what you think is interesting.

I must clarify... the illustration shows a vacuum laying more prone than all his current vacuums, yet it looks like it could possibly can lay [fully] prone too.

In fact, many retailers, after threats of legal action and suits by vacuum customers, have taken dysons back long after 30-60-90 days.  The reason in part, retailers are culling their dyson inventories in these bad times.  And so many dyson refurbs for sale.  And probably the reason in part the Dc07 and Dc14 are being scrubbed by dyson.  To many returns due to faulty clutch chatter.  Drives people and pets crazy.  Like scratching your nails over the chalk board.  Or a rake over the concrete.  Just gets under your skin.

All you have to do is read some of the customer reviews for these dyson models.  It's all there.  Just have to look and read.

Yeah, where?  They’re your statements not mine.  So produce...

Can you demonstrate 10 such - "threats of legal action" and "suits by vacuum customers"?  Since Google has claimed 1 trillion pages indexed, surely 5 minutes researching will aid in the “bellying up” with a negligible 10 complaints out of 20 million Dyson’s sold.

Thanks in advance.

DIB:  You made those statements here in writing about the clutch chatter/mediocre CR DC07 and DC14 ranks.  I don't have to produce evidence to change your mind.  Believe what you want to believe in your mind.  Doesn't change the facts.  DC07 and DC14 are finito.  Gone.  Sayonara on the tin guitar.  Dyson clutches on US models are gone with the wind.   You can believe these dyson models are the best on the planet in dyson's reportoire.  Butt even James himself would disagree with you.  Unless of course he pulled them and discontinued clutch usage because they are soooooooooooooo good. 

Carmine D.

Carmine,

Oh! what a tangled web you weave when first you practice to deceive!

At the end of the day...  You’ve got nothin. - No proof, no ability to prove, no willingness to prove.

Q:  Does Dyson have a clutch chatter problem on some carpetings and/or after many years of use?
A:  Yes.  And so what.  Return it if under 30 days, fix it if worn.

A:  Is the chatter problem nearly as big as you claim or attempt to lead others to believe?
A:  No.

Look around, you’re not in your store and you’re not having a private conversation with Little Miss Trusting customer.  Those days are gone!

Me too.  ORECK documents its direct suction air flow and revolving speed of the brush roll [based on scientific measurements] of 102 MPH and 6500 RPM.  Plus, one of the largest paper bag capacities in the industry.  What's your fave brand's speeds?

Carmine D.


Are you saying that the brush roll spinning at 6500 RPM is creating all the suction ? Speed and RPM do not reflect power. Power is more directly related to torque.  The tiny oreck motor would stall under a direct pulling force against the brush. Face it the brush doesn't suck.  Well maybe it does suck like the oreck's inability to deep clean and that ain't good.

You already told us that the oreck floats on the carpet. The brush is simply moving surface dirt since it doesn't go deep to pull the dirt up.

CarmineD wrote:  Like the DC15 ball, which is a bust for sales, so is the DC24 and DC25.  Recall dyson dropped its price in the USA by $100 just a few months into its launch.  Sure retailers put the ball models at the top of their lists.  What exactly does that mean?  Explain it for me.  Do you really expect retailers to publicly say that the dyson ball models are THE WORSE SELLING DYSON MODELS THEY EVER CARRIED SAVE THE DC11?  If they were honest, perhaps.  But you know that retailers can't be honest and expect customers to buy new dysons, especially the ball models.  

Are you creating a conspiracy theory here? I expect when I look at a best seller list from a reputable company that it is indeed what they sell most of.   Does the New York Times bestseller list really consist of poor selling books that nobody wants?  Does the Fortune 500 have people that are ranked at #800 but nobody wants to admit it? Why would a company go to all the trouble to include something on a best seller list that isn't selling?  If you're running a business don't you simply drop the line if it doesn't sell?  How many times have Best Buy and Target and Walmart re-ordered from Dyson?  Surely you're not suggesting they bought so many that they're still on the first batch...but when they're gone they'll never darken store shelves again.

I'm happy for you that the DC25 is good seller for you.  You are in a silent tiny minority of dyson ball fans.

It's not about being a Dyson Ball fan, it's about you saying the DC25 isn't selling based on the fact they promo it with a DC16.  If this is just your opinion, please say so and it's end of discussion but if you have legitimate figures that state the DC25 is a huge flop and sells poorly please post them for all to read.  Personally I'd love to see sales figures from all companies but as much as I try, I can't really find anything.  I can only assume that you are in the know and have numbers based on your statement.  Share the wealth please.
