I thought the ball idea rubbish. It doesn't work on a wheelbarrow, so why
is it suddenly a good idea on a vacuum cleaner?

In my experience it does make steering easy (although it takes a while
to get used to) but the down side is that its diameter means the
cleaner won't go under some items of furniture. For example our DC03,
when the handle is lowered right down, will go under the shelf of a
coffee table, but the DC24 won't.
