Re: The DC27 - to replace the DC07 & DC14. Say good-bye to the clutch.

I am glad that they are doing away with the clutch. I bought a used DC14 from Craig's List about a year ago, and the clutch clicks a little bit every time I use it. Especially if I recline the handle after I've turned the machine on. Very annoying, though it doesn't seem to affect performance. I think it's an inane and unnecessary system and I'm glad to see it go. Another motor with its own power switch would be so much better! I thoroughly agree. The clutch on dysons is a prime example of dyson overengineering at its extremest. It adds an extra $135 of useless value to the product and passes it along at purchase and for repairs. By scrubbing the clutch on USA dysons, if in fact it is scrubbed [still some conflicting reports], dyson is admitting the same. Carmine D. Not even close. The clutch works as designed. Chatter: varying carpeting is a moving target for the brushroll and difficult to get right and/or clutch wear after a few years. The motorized brushroll is better for sure. Additionally... the motorized brushroll will lessen the likelihood of a Dyson owner wandering into a non-Dyson independent looking for a belt or clutch repair. $135 for clutch repair when it's a 10 minute repair and $20 part? ...Like I said, Dyson has to do all he can to keep his users from setting foot in non-Dyson dealer shops.

If you look on the Dyson Canada Website it has the DC27 on there with a clutch! DC18 I'll be able to confirm the Canadian version either today or early next week (waiting for the order to arrive) but as I understand it the DC27 is a dual motor unit in Canada. Just an observation but instead of assuming it's a clutch that we see, could it not be an on off switch for the brush motor instead? Dusty

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
