Hi guys thanks for the welcome. I'm also a Guide at a certain review site company too. Anyway I just called Dyson UK. They can confirm that they will have a new Dyson out although it was due in May it has now been pushed forward to June or July. The model will be called the DC27 as opposed to 28 and it has a few features which is different to the Ball series. I can see why Dyson have finally tried to nudge forward with older settings - for a start it doesn't have a Ball, no swivel function and it has a normal fixed wheel sole plate. It mirrors the DC16 on dust capacity and has a slimmer flatter floor head. This will have been done possibly in response to a myriad of uprights that slimmer floor heads such as Sebo's Felix/X series and others. The DC27 will also have a clear inspection roller bar and a beater roll bar to meet the carpet only - whilst this may well be a manual setting in itself I'm not quite sure.
