I read the reviews and decided to take a chance as some people said it worked with DC28 and some people didn't. The first one I got didn't fit and I thought it was because the plastic 'flange' on the part where it was supposed to snap onto the vacuum was bent and therefore the hose couldn't be inserted. I received a replacement tube but this does not fit although it looks very similar to the original tube. I really wanted this to work, but it didn't work. My rating is really for it not working as advertised and I spent time, effort and fuel ordering and returning it. I think I'll have to get the original part to make sure it fits.
