Received it today and was amazed at how new and sturdy it looked. Then I tried to attach. The handle side snapped into place, but the tubing side was very difficult to get to stay connected. The parts of the clip that need to snap look really identical to the original, so I don't know why it doesn't actually snap. I'm almost afraid to suck with it for fear it might come loose if I try to use the wand. But let's see. Because of the dirty children, we vacuum almost every day.
