Beware this model takes a different brushroll to the standard DC50, its slightly smaller.

That explains a return we had a few weeks ago.

Don't know why Dyson reduced the width of the cleaner heads. The large DC41 head (same width as a DC14/07/33 head) has been reduced by an inch or two which is the same as a DC40 now, even their cinetic big balls oddly. :s

I wonder if thats just in the UK then, Our dc51erp ( dc50erp ) is a Euro sourced machine and it has the same size cleaner head as the none erp version.
-
Perhaps its not a erp thing but just a design change :grinn:

I saw a photo of the two different brushrolls side by side. It was less than an inch.
Does the DC50 ERP have the slider on the front?

My cousin has a DC50 ERP and it has the red slider

I have delved and this is right. The normal one is 964705-01 and the ERP one is 966471-01. The non genuine ones are the standard one, not the ERP one. So if you need an ERP one, you need 966471-01.

"The non genuine ones are the standard one, not the ERP one."
I spoke to a gentleman at Q shortly after I'd unknowingly fitted their copy into an ERP, the roller seized up. I think I was polite but made it clear I was very angry.
-
I made Q aware of the difference as a result of this topic last night. One of the reps showed me a photo of two side by side a few weeks ago and asked could it be right. My reply then was all 50 brushrolls are the same as far as I knew.
Now we know all know different thanks to Autovac. And so do Q. :icon_nod:

We have one in for service today, we have measured the difference.

Cor look at the wear on the LHS one!
-
Never have I ever seen a used Dyson with the carbon fibre in good condition, they are so soft they wear out really easily
always liked the DC50 brushroll though because it's big and beats carpets
-
Today we found out ERP motors and PCB's differ as well. Nobody has stock, so we have to convert it to standard with a motor housing too. :'(

Hopefully they changed them to more reliable motors
I noticed that the old DC40's has a DC24 brush motor and the ERP ones use the larger DC41 mk2 motors now which I think is worth mentioning speaking of head changes :icon_nod:

40 and 41 ERP models have the same cleaner head. I assumed they had the same DC25 motor in there?

According to Dyson it has 20% more brushbar power than the original DC41 animal so I think it spins at a faster RPM and probably is more reliable , not seen any faulty yet but they have been out a year and a halfish so far

Sounds like marketing fluff. I'll strip the next one we see and see what is inside. :icon_nod:
