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.

Thanks for the link Carmine (I think). The DC27 is on the Dyson UK website. Somewhat buried (what else is new/no link has been provided while viewing this vacuum @ the Online Store DC27 page) is a nice “Find Out More” page of the DC27. There’s a pop-up video showing why Dyson LTD. does not use manual height settings. Worth noting... Dyson is finally fighting back... they use the TTI VAX Mach 7 to illustrate the downside to manual carpet height adjustment/the downside to owning the VAX Mach 7. http://www.dyson.co.uk/technology/dc27Patents/default.asp DIB

Hi DIB

I can see why Dyson may not have put the DC27 on the main part of the home page as it just an improved DC14, there is no brand new technology on it just improvements over the DC14. I've seen the base model in the shops it slightly less taller than the DC14 and the bin handle is lower and smaller in diameter to the DC14. I can say it has a 1400 watt motor not 1300 as some websites say as i checked the serial number plate on the display model! Although the airwatts are lower to the DC14! Air seals are better around the bin. Same brush bar\roll as the DC14 if not slightly bigger with slightly more turfs of brushes! I'm yet to test this machine to see what it is like.

Dyson's DC27, a Sams' Club exclusive, now has 5 reviews [wow]. Been on the market since October 2008, or 10 months. It gets just a tad more than 4 stars, typical for dysons. About 80 percent positive. $479 for the Total Clean.

Hoover Fusion has been on the market at least 3 years and gets 8 reviews. It fell short of the "tad over the 4th star". .

Fusion has 5 perfect stars = 67%. Dyson had 4 perfect stars=80%.

If memory serves me correctly you tauted the Fusion at Sams as being the Dyson killer. Wow 8 reviews for this slayer!!!!!!!!!!

Other Hoovers get 1 star of no review. Your criterion shows that these are either pith poor or not selling. Hard to believe huh?

Right HS: HOOVER Fusion $100 dyson $500. Good comparison! If you insist on irrelevant comparisons try the HOOVER TEMPO for $80 for its stars/reviews. Almost 1000 with 4.5 stars.

Here's an excerpt my good dyson friend. A meaningful review and analysis. I've owned several and still do.

"The Hoover Tempo Widepath U5140-900 gets the most support from more than 1,000 owners who have posted reviews at Amazon.com. It's also included in Consumer Reports magazine's more scientific roundup of vacuum cleaners. We found a few interesting posts on Epinions.com and some video reviews at ExpoTV.com.

Overall, owners of the Hoover Tempo Widepath U5140-900 upright vacuum are very happy with their purchase. They cite the vac's low weight (only 16 pounds) compared to others, which makes it easier to push and to carry up and down stairs. Owners are also pleased with the included allergen filter.

Remember Carmine. When Fusion came on the market you predicted that it would be the end of Dyson. WM and Sam's alone would sell so these and Dyson would sink. 3 years later and Both sell Dyson. Did I mention that in 3 years the Fusion gets 8 reviews. What a seller. Now the Whisper is trying the same thing as Fusion. No listing on Sam's for the Whisper. If you do not want Dyson compared to you cheapos why do you constantly bring them up and then squak about ythe price difference. In fact you predicted that the $119 Fusion would unseat Dyson. Since it didn't you blame cost. LOL. What next?

The Tempo scores no better than Dyson on Amazon. In fact Dyson has a fraction better score. It seems that most Tempo users were wanting a cheap vac and are satisfied for the performance AT THE COST. Most Tempo owners woukl be happy with any vac in their double wides.

It also looks like Tempo and Dyson scores superior to the Orecks on Amazon. And to think those Orecks reach $800 or 5 times the cost of Tempo.

They are coming to take you away haha, haha.

Hi Ace:

3.4 stars is not too shabby for $100 bagless vacuum. This was, no longer made, a TTI sourced vacuum at the time, with the HOOVER brand. A precursor to the fact that TTI woul eventually make a bid for HOOVER when part of the Whirlpool tutelage.

HS:

You and your dyson brethren can't get over the fact that in 2005 the HOOVER Fusion KO'ed dyson in all the Wal*Mart stores and kept dysons out for 2 years, until James came groveling back. A $100 contender whupped a $500 supposed champ! Cream of the crap.

Hello Ace:

You are and have always been a big supporter of all things dyson and one of the first to sell them here in the USA. If you are preempted from selling dyson now because you took a sabbatical from sales for awhile, I can't/don't see that as something good for dyson.

Hi Ace:

3.4 is not as good as the $ Tempo which is 20 to 39% cheaper. Even your beloved CR did not give the Fusion a good rating. Good or bad for the price that does not make it better than the Dyson at 4 + stars regardless of where they are rated. You are beginning to wobble with pith poor excuses for failure to be the best.

HS:

We all know that Dyson was pulled due to pricing disagreements with WM. I have an entirely different view. The only reason that Fusion stayed was because Dyson was not in the store to take their sales. Let's recap. Although Dyson outscores Fusion you use the excuse that the Fusion costs less. Then you come back to say that the $100 vac beat out the $500 vac. Didn't happen except in your feeble mind. Dyson forced Hoover to sell out without help form WM.

Damn, Dyson beat the sheet out of both them.
