Dyson DC07 without a clutch?

[sanitairered]

Did Dyson ever make a DC07 without a clutch that was sold in the U.S.? If so, how much did they go for? Thanks!

Sadly, all of the DC07 models that I have seen (and I've seen a lot) have had the dreaded clutch.

I know right? I thought I saw a picture of one without a brushroll shut off next to a DC17 and other American Dyson's but I don't remember where..

Wal-Mart carried the steel/turquoise Dyson DC07 "Carpet" as an exclusive model for a short period of time when Dyson was still new to the US market.

I believe it sold for $379.99.

Umm..

Even though they had that exclusive machine, it still had a clutch...just so you know.

YES YES YES!!!!!!!!!!

I have SEEN one with my own eyes and was able to examine it but sadly not use it. I want one SO bad because this model used a GOOD non helix style brushroll and actually cleaned WELL! I cannot find one on ebay or anywhere else I have checked but I hope to find one soon. If anyone knows where to get one I would apreciate the info.

Unless someone has an actual picture, I'm sticking with that there was NO Dyson Dc07 without the helix brushroll. And without a clutch.

The DC07 Carpet does not have a clutch.

The link at the bottom is the Dyson US online customer parts list for this machine. On that page you will notice the cylindrical roller with staggered bristles in a helix pattern including its unique baseplate. Its user-replaceable belt is also shown.

All other DC07's (which are clutched) use a brush setup that uses staggered bristles in a chevron pattern with the plastic moulded in the same design.

Chase, Scott is right on the DC07 Carpet, I have seen one before at a vac shop, in for repairs, in Ontario. Now, what I have to wonder is, could a clutched Dyson be modified to take this brushroll & belt & eliminate the dreaded clutch assembly altogheter??

Ive seen some dysons in that color. Did they have a standard dc07 in that color?

DC07 Carpet

I own one. It doesn't have a clutch. It has a round brush roll, not a helical one. It is the DC07 Carpet. I bought it new.

That's great! Would you mind posting a pick or two? Thanks!

Blue Dyson

Dyson made a DC07 Original in the same blue as the Carpet. That model may still be available new. I'm not a fan of the clutches, so I don't keep up with developments of clutched models.

Well I stand corrected! That is very neat though. I'd love to find one.
