It's actually more like what lousy perception you have man. So many plastic grids? Dude, the wheels are THERE to keep any scratching from happening. THey're actually high quality wheels, and sure they may clog w/ dirt, but if you clean take care of your stuff and have half a brain, they won't be a problem, just like the ones on my Miele/WesselWerks SEB 217 aren't, and in reality are an EXCELLENT addition, love 'em on my hardwood floors. The brushroll has to be easier to remove?! That has to be the dumbest, lousiest point bar none; TWO screws dude, TWO, if you have trouble counting that high then I can see why that could be a problem, either that or it's just being pathetically lazy. Given you're picking the most insignificant, moot points to call "lousy" only proves how hard of a time you have trying to actually say anything bad, and proves just how well design this Dyson machine is. Gee, let's see here man, a second opinion is what any respectable person would offer up as a means to back up an argument or prove a point, and the fact this guy has much praise for this machine just goes to prove what an awesome machine Dyson manufactures. Hey xxxxxx, you trying to tell me that removing a brush roll by two screws is easier than pressing a button release? *Portions deleted by Moderator"

Spoke to Dyson UK this morning and they confirm that the DC23 Motorhead on its own weighs 2.2kg. The SEBO ET-1 weighs 1.8kg. For an older machine floor head, this is pretty impressive and isn't less of a strain to pick up off the floor.

Dude, WHAT? Seriously, don't you get that less weight is worse for a powerhead? Maybe the agitation would make up for it, but I'm willing to wager my DC-14 alone on the likely fact the Dyson head cleans better.
Sorry Hertz, weight isn't a factor. The power nozzle can weigh one pound or ten but pull of suction, air flow and brushing/agitation action are all that basically matter. Actually I set the height of my power nozzle up just a notch to allow the cleaner to lift the rug in the hope of enhancing the agitation process. Old school thinking I know, but I like the result. I also think it might make cleaning a little less laborious for the PN's motor.

Only a whiny little bastard would complain about such an issue, and it's easier then my Miele SEB 217. Also, a button release is more complicated than two simple mundane screws, you do the logic you frickin' joke. This is Hertz's last post on this website. He will no longer be able to involve himself in these topics. I tend to give people opportunity to change, but then there is a point when things need to be taken care of. Use this as an example of how to behave, or not behave, on this forum. If you are going to make an issue, you to will not be allowed back. It is okay to disagree, tell someone they are wrong, "push" their favorite, but no member should be name-calling using offensive language, etc. Let's not have anymore discussion about this. Move on.
