OK, Here's the rundown...........................
Airblade Xlerator
Electric Consumption 1400W 1500W
Dry Time 12 seconds 19 seconds
(according to NSF P335)
HEPA filter yes no
Anti-microbial yes no
NSF certified yes no
Motor DDM - brushless (81,000 RPM) Brushed motor - 20,000 RPM

I do know that the Airblade is quieter as well, but not sure what Xcelrator's db rating is with hands inserted. Let me know if there are any other differences you'd like to know. Always here to help!!!

Re: dyson belt question

Sorry to keep asking so many Dyson questions. This topics of this forum seem to be mostly about big box brands anyway. I don't have to ask questions about my Kirbys and Hoover Convertibles... I can understand them! Anyway, I used my Dyson DC14 (should have gotten a 17 or at least an 07 instead, this must be the worst model of all) at a friends house. He has a Bissell Clearview vacuum... a cheap Wal-mart special. When I went to his place, my Dyson barely got anything up. His Bissell got up a lot more dirt afterwards that my Dyson was not able to pull up. Probably due to the weird brush roll. The suction and air flow on my machine are fine, so I'm starting to think it's the belt that is the problem. When I push the machine forward fast while its running, I hear a weird rattling sound. My question is, even though the belt is SUPPOSED to last a life time and the user is not SUPPOSED to be able to change their own belt w/o taking it to a Dyson authorized service center, how can I do it myself? Do I have to buy the whole clutch assembly, or can I just get the belts? I'm not worried about voiding the warranty, since I bought the machine used. Any advice? TIA :o) Best bet is to replace the whole clutch assembly. It is possible to just replace a belt, but it is a much more difficult task. Also, there are two belts in the DC14 and replacing the clutch would take care of both

HS is correct. There is a DC07 Red and it is a Target exclusive. It is primarily the same as a DC07 All Floors, just in Target's colors.

Not sure on the technical name.......but yes, there is a valve that automatically diverts the airflow

I agree MATT, is this where dysons typically get blocked?, From my experience with serviceing them the blocks are further up at the inlet hose and brushroll area. All vacuums clog,no manufacturer other than dyson makes the claim that theirs dont. Yes the early model 07 had the tabs for the duct removeal,many were off by accident and brought in for service, My advice to dyson would be to take all the different angles that the air has to move through to get to the end of the system,this would also bring the high temperatures down to where the casings would not distort so much. MOLE The u-bend is a clogging point for only the wand.........there is no airflow through it when the brushroll is engaged.
