I think it was camouflaged into the handle somehow with no markings. Once I got it turned on, it worked pretty well. I suppose if it was my vacuum, I'd fumble for the switch the first time, and then know where it was from then on and it wouldn't be a problem.

Could have been something they fixed in later models, mine's at least 3rd or 4th generation. The last one they made right before they switched to that dumb-looking ball thing. But yeah, I'll admit there's a learning curve to use it. Dang effective piece of machinery though. My dad used to dismiss it as hype, until one day I happened to have it in my car (was helping a friend clean before selling her house,) and I made him vacuum his floor with his old vacuum cleaner, then I went over the same area again with my Dyson. He was horrified by the amount of dirt it picked up--but not so horrified that he would purchase one himself. No, now he just borrows mine on occasion.
