Hopefully we will see it in the DC17 as well. I'm just wondering why the Dyson page makes no mention of it besides "flexible steering", and not even a flash demo of it.

Looking at the DC18 side on, the rear wheels and floor nozzle remind me of Granny's Hoover Junior 375!

Comparing the suction power between the different models, I was surprised to see that the DC07 has had its motor downgraded from a 1400W (330 airwatts) to a 1200W (260airwatts). Was this because of the strong suction?

I thought the DC15 looked like a old Hoover Junior from the sid when that came out!

So it has! The DC07 is only mainly available in one version the base DC07 (origin as it's called)with no brush control (clutch) just straight belt driven! Looks like they have downgraded it because it's just a base model now in the UK and probably to improve useage! The base model I don't think ever got the grooves in the soleplate they put on the clutch models to ease use when moving it across floors due to powerful sealed suction!

Ta.

If the DC17 is supposed to have this wonderful new filtration system, why has Dyson decided to shoehorn it in amongst the Root Cyclone models? If I was launching a machine with new technology, I'd shift up to a nice round figure - like DC20.

Dyson's model numbering system seems a little out of step:

CR01 & CR02 - "Contrarotator"
AB01 - "Airblade"
DC01-DC06 - "Dualcyclone"

By this token, DC07-DC18 should be known as RC07-RC18 "Rootcyclone".
