I was so happy to know that I could get a replacement for my DYSON, but the replacement hose I bought in April broke after just a few months of use. Now I have to get another one. Not cool. The vacuum cleaner is annoying anyway, but I'm sticking with it. I wish the men who designed vacuum cleaners understood that women have more fun using hose attachments than just vacuuming a room. The hose attachment design is not perfect. The hose should start at waist height. Every time I use this vacuum, I sweat from the effort of fighting the short hose and long wand. Why is there a long pole. Not user friendly at all!
