I have been using it on max, but going forward I will probably use it on normal as it is easier to push and the normal setting works best on my hard floors. The only thing it will not clean is my wool rug in the living room. With the brush on, the cut out operates and stops the brush bar and with it off it is extremely hard to push due to the sealed suction of the head.
 
I find it impossible to move on hard floors when set on max, I tend to use the normal setting all the time, I only use the max settting for cleaning my berber front door mat.
 
The unboxing video of my DC40 will be on my Youtube channel tomorrow, followed by the full review two weeks later.

I have just registered the guarantee with Dyson, so this one's a keeper. In fact, it is just the first of quite a few Dysons I want to try, starting with one of the cordless models which will be arriving tomorrow.

It was only after I made the video and let the DC40 loose on my bag of filth, that I saw how really good this cleaner picks up. I was a bit scathing and cynical in the unboxing video, but turned into a gushing, suck up by the end of the demo. I still don't care for the man, but the vacuum cleaners that bear his name are certainly better than they were and I am looking forward to trying out more Dysons in the future.
 
I will look forward to it Roger. I agree with you it does pick up well and is so easy to manoeuvre. It's a pleasure to use. :-)

I wish people would actually try these latest cleaners before they bash them, they may be pleasantly surprised!
 
Soon after writing my latest post, this arrived!

It wasn't due until tomorrow so it was a bit of a surprise. I know it's the base model, but it gives me an excuse to upgrade later on. Now where's my camcorder, I feel an unboxing video coming on.

It is more of a figure of speech Roger, I am sure you know that ;) I should say I have grown attached to it, which isn't far off as I have used it ever day since I have had it. They are very good to have around.
 
Roger, I think you will really like that dc35. It's not their most powerful cordless anymore but they are great to use. We have a dc44 at the vac shop I work for, and although it started as a floor model, it quickly became the main machine used to clean the store. About two years later and its still going strong.
