My Dyson is about 10 years old. The original hose lasted 9 years with weekly use. Can not complain! I figured this hose would last as long as Dyson makes it. I was wrong! This replacement hose only lasted 1 year and almost 1 month a day. The hole in this "new" hose is larger than the one I replaced. For €50 I would have expected a lot more from a Dyson. If I had to do it all over again I would most likely buy an aftermarket product for 1/4 the price. Maybe I wouldn't feel betrayed if he only lasted a year.
