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.

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.
If you do find one, don't let it go. They're impossible to find now. I'm constantly looking for them to give away to other collectors because they're so rare and they are also fantastic cleaners.

To convert to a non-clutch setup, you more or less replace the entire cleaning head/ base assembly. Costly venture.

We have so many of these here ,Its easy to convert one , you can just buy a cleaner head complete , they have there problems though too, thier brush bar gets distorted on thick pile carpets and overheats causeing the area were the belt runs to distort and the whole machine starts to vibrate. the guys who do dry carpet cleaning like the non clutch because of the slightly better pick up but they replace brush rolls every month or so.
I have had a dc04clutch model for 14 years never had a clutch problem ever, infact I find it to be very reliable, when we do a service we do replace the belts on the clutch though if they look a bit stretched.
All of my loan units are clutch models and never had any issues ,
If you have a dyson and want to convert it to non clutch model , drop me an email I will gladly post you the parts. [email protected]

It isn't very expensive , if we use used parts and a new brush roll it would work out to $ 30 if that much probibly less, the SA rand doller exchange is in your favour not mine

Hi Guys
why do you guys seem to hate the clutch dysons so much, I have 3 dc07 USA machines that we have converted to run on 220volt here, all are the all floors models , . the USA models have tiffer brirtles and a much wider Sole plate opening than the UK / SA models.
We have about 15 loan dysons, dc07/14/27 all with the clutch and they never give any hassels
I was just wondering what trouble you guys have had ?
I will admit that I do prefer the twin motor design , like the dc17. that is a powerfull machine despite its hassles
dc07 bellow
USA left UK right

For those who it may interest, seeing as there is little talk of this machine I thought I would share this one that I just got today. Without a second guess I made the hour drive to pick up this machine, and it’s clear that I made the right choice in doing so. Once the refurb begins tomorrow I’ll be sure to attach more pictures below this post, so I hope you enjoy being brought along! I felt a little silly paying $60 for a sticky DC07 that smells of dog, however I believe the machine will clean up rather well and make a very unique addition to the collection.

Congrats!
I really like these a lot. I have the 07 without a clutch and I just sold my clutchless 14 to another collector. Probably the one of the only ones in the USA!

Here are a few more pictures I took today in better detail. The clog in the cleaner head must’ve mixed with water as some point as it was a solid brick. On top of that, the cyclone was full of mold from the moisture. While I definitely have my work cut out for me I will be adding more pictures once the vacuum is fully done.
