You know Carmine what really burns the legit dealers and service techs, is when the customer comes in and drills you for information then runs out and buys a dyson because of the CHIC advertising. 

Make sure Jimmy GETS TO USE THE SWIVEL GLIDE DIRT DEVIL you know the bagged one that costs 39.95 and outcleans his 500.00 piece of artwork,

Big V ,

WESSEL-WERKS AND CEN-TEC  are the 2 biggies in [ATTACHMENT WORLD],

Sort of like the REDSOX and YANKEES RIVALRY.

V.F. turn the machine upside down, so that the brush is looking at you, turn the cleaner on, see if you can stall the brush with your hand use the palm of your hand, if the brush stops rather easily with out too much down force from your hand, then the belts are glazed on the inside, the one going to the motor shaft usually goes away first.

Yes Carmine, i have replaced just the belts[taken the clutch apart] very tedious and can be screwed up very easily, the belts are nothing special cost less than 6 bucks a set.
Another note of interest is that the rpm's created at the brush are not the industry standard, more than likely done on purpose to try and save the rotating mass............

Hi Carmine,the usual dc07/14 problems are belt and brush related,nothing really new that we did not already know about. The 7 and 14 just cant adjust to higher pile carpeting, you know the dreaded clutch chatter,if the customer says the machine is chattering,we are honest with them and tell them a clutch and belt change [MIGHT] rectify the problem for 3 or 4 months.Then its up to them if they authorize the repair,[close to a C note], with no warranty on the work.

The second biggest problem are the lack of filter maintaince, or refusing to empty the bin,causes real problems with parts getting distorted,.

I personally dont see what this dyson big deal is really about>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
