Dyson I'm no expert on US Dyson's but I did remember seeing this, and found it for you PoconoVacMan after seeing your message on clutchless Dyson's in the US.
Apparently they did a clutchless DC07 in the US, for Walmart.
Here's a link to a thread about them:

Super-sweeper...
I had that same problem with my Dyson DC07, when I had it. That happens, especially if you have cats. Whenever I went to vacuum up kitty litter, the vacuum always shot some of it back out at my feet.
Luckily, I don't have this problem with my Bissell canister, Hoover Windtunnel or my short-lived Eureka AirSpeed (before my dad gave it away). They all suck the kitty litter right up without scattering it. | ||

That's why you have a clutch to turn the brushbar off, and btw, These dont do it because it seals the suction, and your Dyson will need a new internal hose to make the self adjusting head work properly. This post was last edited 10/07/2014 at 05:57 | ||

which actually seals to the hard floor
What. Is. The. Point. of a vacuum that SEALS to hard floor? There's no pile, no fibres to sweep through, everything on a bare floor is surface litter and as there is no pile for any debris to embed into, sealing to a hard floor will only result in grit, crumbs and hair being pushed around and not actually sucked up.

Not only that but if a vacuum cleaner floor head seals to a hard floor, you'll have a jolly old time trying to move the vacuum around.
Anyone who has had a Vax Mach Air upright with the brush roll OFF on a level hard floor may well agree with me. I don't miss that Vax Mach Air for that design element alone. Remember, hard floors are not porous vents like carpets. They react differently when suction is applied to it. | ||

How did you fit a motor from a clutched machine into a non clutch machine? Aren't they completely different? Also the sole plate would of originally had the ribs on it to stop it stealing to hard floors. The sole plate your machine has must either be very worn or an aftermarket replacement | ||

Btw all the motors in any DC07, 14 and 33 are the same, regardless of it being clutched or non clutched as well as the DC27. DC04 motors wil also fit, but the result is asthmatic. | ||

Um, Parwaz786...
In reply to post #12, if I were to turn the brush bar off when vacuuming kitty litter on carpet, the vacuum would not do a very good job of picking up the litter.
I don't think my DC07 needs the internal hose fixed. One quirk with the DC07, DC14 and possibly DC33 is that the cleaner head doesn't seal to the carpet right away. I have to either 1) push and pull it a few times or 2) kick the head down with my foot to make the seal. Before it makes the seal, it won't pick up anything, but afterwards, it gets a little harder to push, the noise changes and it sucks up everything in its path. Certain vacuums sure have their quirks. | ||

Chris, the Dyson seals to the hard floors and carpets well. | ||

Not sure what you mean when you say "suction is not the most important a factor, but it is one of the important factors so that it can pick up the dust, and lift the carpet to bring it closer to the brushbar..."
Its all about the design of the sole plate and how it meets the textured surfaces in the first place, how suction "air" is passed through carpet and thus allows suction of the texture to rise up meeting the sole plate. If the sole plate has unnecessary juts sticking out or if sole plates are damaged, it can prevent the vacuum from properly maintaining contact with the carpet. However, in some cases carpets don't need a brush roll in order for the carpet to rise - again its all about the sole plate design and the way suction air is channelled. | ||

What did the mower do to your rug?Trying to picture this!I have seen giant peices of carpet half chewed by the Alamo road mower!Alamo has two very large belts driven by a hydraulic motor to spin the blade shafts.It is very powerful-Alamo has even cut down and chopped up small trees along the roadside! | ||

xD the mower tore a hole in the rug and stalled the blades, the engine kept going but the belt sure didn't! that's what started my Snapper Riding Mower's endless stream of trouble, it burns trough belts like crazy! turns out I had been using 1 belt when the mower needed 2! gosh my pasture is getting out of control, and it isn't fun push mowing it! I rigged a belt on the mower the other day, and it started cutting grass again, until i went to start it up again and the solenoid caught on fire! | ||
