This item was NOT an original Dyson hose as described. This is an aftermarket part and will NOT fit properly. It was too big and breathable and when I put it back on I still had an air leak and couldn't pull the hose off. He's stuck! I had to go to a Dyson workshop and they confirmed it was not a Dyson hose. I then bought a new Dyson hose that fits just right. I sent this hose back the same day and do NOT recommend buying this hose from the aftermarket.
