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.

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

Be interesting to know if the Canadian version of the DC27 is clutchless. I'm told the UK version does have the clutch setup. Shame thought it would have a separate motor and better brushbar on the UK version!

$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.

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.

Hence the ORECK business model is superior.

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.

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.

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.
