Good video - however I don't think that the brush roll alone is to blame.
What you seem to forget is that the Dyson DC04 shown and the model you also refer to which doesn't have the clutch fitted is the older Dyson design with fixed wheels at the back. I know from personal experience that the more you stoop with the handle, the more the floor head digs into the carpet. This is the same kind of process I also found with the Panasonic Optiflow bagged upright vacuum last year. If later models provide a far more consistent touch to carpet and thus allow more of the bristles to dig deeper, it may well be down to a combination of brush roll improvement AND the ball design with the smaller wheels. | ||

True, because I am tall, like 5 ft 8, I vacuum and the handle is as upright as I can push it so it creates a seal with the suction to the floor Glad you liked the video:) thanks | ||

Oh. If 5'8 is tall, dunno what I am at 6'7 :3
Surely though it wouldn't make that much of a difference, no matter what pressure you put on it, considering the force will be at the wheels and not the head? I am not too sure, I can imagine that principle on a cylinder straight suction vacuum, but I have never used that model Dyson, so I would know. Good video by the way. | ||

Here we go again with bloody Kirby. Why do we always have the mention of Kirby against Dyson??
Anyway, the fixed wheels on the back of the Dyson DC04 do ensure that the machine sits on a floor, but I found (and im 6ft) that I always had to stoop to ensure the brushes always hit the floor. Its the mechanism of the central hinge and the height level of the owner that has to ensure that the brush roll hit the carpet. I found it deeply annoying - especially when I found that the handle had to be low enough to remain constant with the floor. In short it isn't always possible for consistent brush hitting pile cleaning with the DC04 unless you lower or increase the angle of the handle. | ||

Parwaz, My Dyson DC03 & DC04 suffered with their belts stretching. Dyson claimed the belts didn't require replacing but those belts did slip. I didn't really get an issue with the pick up. The yellow DC04 Brush Control I had was quite a nice machine when it didn't have bits breaking. | ||

I find Dyson to be probably the easiest vacuums to use in a matter of fact. All the buttons are up high, the telescopic tubes and hose are easy to get at and the tools are right where you need them.
However, on a wide scale, many vacuum manufacturers do not like you vacuuming up things like sawdust and fine powers like carpet fresh etc. Miele say this quite blatantly in their instruction manuals, that if you do suck anything like this up, you risk voiding the warranty. | ||

I thought of this video idea after I noticed when after vacuuming my bedroom carpet, I noticed there was debris inside then I uses tshe stair tool in confined spaces, more larger bits were hiding inside! And yes, I vacuum in more than one direction | ||

Comes to the Rescue!
My Diamond KIRBY has sucked up acres and acres of Carpet Fresh and it hasn't coughed once. My oh my what a fantastic machine!
You can just about suck up anything with a mighty KIRBY. Have you ever heard about breaking the mold, I thank they did with the KIRBY, for what other vacuum should one have need of...Nothing else can come to mind.;){kind=link}
