They really should change the following;
The motor suction must enter from the top of the cyclone like on the DC01 to DC33
Lift the filter up and make the cyclone tops lower so that the outside of the filter captures dirt, not the inside hence its easier to wash
This means that for grit to enter the motor, it must get past the sealed filter, which is virtually impossible. How hard is that?
It will also mean the tool storage will be higher aswell, unlike bending over for people with bad backs, bring back DC33/ DC27/ DC25 tool storage for this one, even the tool caddy cant even hold the stair tool properly, with the DC25 it clicks into place
