It worked with my DCO7 animal
For the price I figured I would give it a shot despite the mixed reviews. I found that other then the color being a bit off (darker purple then my vacuum) the hose was almost identical to the original and even with the darker color it still looks far better then the duct tape which I need to apply to the old hose so my vacuum would still work. this replacement hose fit well, the tube slid down the hose perfectly, and I thought its build quality was the same as the original Dyson part. Will it hold up over time? Well I got a new hose because the Dyson one crapped out very early in the vacuums life so Dyson didn't exactly set the bar to high. Possible it will last only as long as the Dyson one did, but at 40% the price of the Dyson part I guess that will be an improvement. If it goes longer, all the better.
Update: It has made it a year now with no issues. If is breaks it will have lasted about as long as the original Dyson one and I would order this model again vs. the...
Can't live without my vacuum
I have 3 dogs - 2 of them are Aussies- and 2 kids who don't care what they track into the house. I vacuum just about every day. I love my Dyson and was really upset when the webbing on the hose pulled away from the rings and tore open. I considered buying a new Dyson (my husband was not please about that). Instead I went online and easily found the part I needed on Amazon. This part was delievered within days and it was so easy to install. This hose actually seems nicer than the original.
Hose did not last
I was hoping that this hose would last longer than the Dyson original manufacturer part. I get at least 7-8 months out of the Dyson hose before it starts to tear at the top end. This hose did not make it two months before tearing at the top.
This hose material is thinner than the original part. It is also not made as well with cheaper attachment parts. If you do not use the floor attachment much and just use the vacuum by itself than this piece could work. I use the floor piece every time, so this is not an option for myself.
You can buy the original hose from Dyson directly for $39.99. It ends up being cheaper because it lasts longer.
