Replacement hose was good value and fitted perfectly once installed. The installation is not easy because for some reason it is designed in such a way that it is very difficult to disconnect the original hose. After watching a few youtube videos I learned how to use a screwdriver to pry it off and it made the job a lot easier. It took a few tries to attach the new hose, but I was able to snap it in place in a minute. The part itself is great. It's just the original Dyson design that makes the replacement so painful.
