If this were in fact true, then two of us would have seen it also. |

I've had a DC41 Animal and DC39 Animal and think they all perfom about the same... if nobody spots the difference in a day or two I'll point it out :) |

All I can see is that the bottom of the internal pole looks like it is plastic. Don't spend too long waiting to tell us though, as I am on borrowed time and others liable to lose interest. |

Well the tank also looks smaller and it says "1" (month, I presume) so does it have a DC24 tank? |

That looks the same in design compared to my old DC25 Animal from 2011, but the stair tool doesn't have velour strips? |

The DC24 was always a 1 month filter wash sticker, so maybe you're right and they have run out of stickers? Being an end of line model, it would be silly to make more.
"OMG monthly filter washes!!! YES!!! " Errrr...this excites you? What on earth for? Developing the filterless cyclone has been a long overdue and welcome change. Filter washing is a messy, unhygenic job. Always has been. |

Dyson knows that people don't wash their filters often enough. By asking for a monthly wash, they're anticipating the average person will do it twice a year. I agree that Dyson SHOULD give a spare filter with their machines, my new Hoover Air Cordless came with two. But the directions with the Hoover Air Cordless state to wash filters every four to six uses.

I prefer the 24 over the 41 I used to own as it seems less flimsy. This was another thing that was taken into account when buying it :) Rattling brush roll isn't an issue for me... It can rattle all it likes! |

Actually, the slower brushroll should clean BETTER.
Examples: Hoover used the activator brushroll in the Turbopower 2, however it never groomed as well as the TP1 as the motor was double the power of the TP1 and span twice as fast, which meant the brushes just glided over the top of the carpet rather than sweeping them up. The Panasonic Icon is one of the best grooming machines I've ever used. The direct drive brushroll span 1/3 slower than the 1500w motor which mean high suction and a good grooming action which lifted the pile. |

If what you are saying about the Hoover Air Cordless is true, then washing the filter every 4 to 6 uses would amount to washing the filter once a month to 1 1/2 months, assuming the average household treats the Air Cordless & uses it just like an ordinary corded vacuum. In addition, the Air Cordless would FOR SURE need that amount of maintenance as a minimum, seeing as it's only dual-cyclonic & would pass a lot of dust onto the filter.

One reason the DC03 had good separation was because the bin was comparatively tall, so the whirling dust at the bottom was well out of the way of the shroud. Contrast that to the DC05, for example, which had a rather squat bin. On mine, the odd clump of dust and hair would often glom onto the shroud during use, and some would inevitably make its way through, which probably explains why the pre filter tended to soil more quickly than I would have liked.
