When my original hose broke I was willing to pay $39.99 plus $10 shipping from the actual Dyson website. Then I remembered I had ordered Dyson attachments (original) from Revain and went for a quick comparison shopping hoping to at least ship Revain Prime and save $10. When I found this generic replacement with decent reviews I decided I couldn't lose. My Dyson is 8 years old and the first problem I had was a broken hose. A lot of other reviewers seemed to have had issues with their Dysons for a long time too, so I didn't want to spend $50 on an 8 year old vacuum. The replacement tube arrived two days later (although I taped my broken tube up after reading another review) and the color is wrong but the Dyson website said the colors would be different so I doubt I will get an exact match for $50. I didn't notice any loss of suction and noticed how dirty the inside of my old hose was (wicked). I would recommend this to everyone.
