dc23 vs dc39/7

Finally had a chance to get some photo's taken of these two.please excuse the boxes in the background , we are renovating( again sigh!!!) so my ofice has become a storage room.
The dc23 in the pic is the animal stowaway model , the new dc39/7 does not come in stowaway form which I personally think is great

Turbine head,
Not only is the new turbine head better in that its brush is bearing mounted at each end its smaller in size so its easier to move in tight spaces and features a form of ball movement to the neck. I normally hate turbine heads but this one is the best of every one I have ever seen and tested. it also features a pneumatic driven actuator that is operated by a air switch in the handle to stop the brush when going into hard flooring, so no more bending down to switch it off.
The bristles in the new turbine head are longer and stiffer it actually lifts the carpet pile.

Have you seen that there is a slight difference in design between the 40/41?

I have been to a local electrical store today and wheeled the machine over to a plug socket for a play! Really impressed with the new turbine head, it has stuff bristles and seems to pull itself along. The manoeuvrability is really nice too.

I tell myself all the time that I have too many. But I am really tempted to buy this now that I have had a go!

How many rows of bristles does the 40 have?

 

[gsheen]

yes the dc41 is the bigger version, bigger bin capacity. Dc40 has two rows of very stiff bristles. they share the same motors so in a sense the dc40 gives you a more concentrated power.

The uk version of the 40 only has one row of stiff bristles, and the uk website states that it has 55 less airwatts than the 41.

Damn the uk always changing stuff!!

I could be wrong on the motor thing, I was going according to the diagrams, we don't get the dc41 although there are a few samples here
