Review on Dyson Genuine DC07 Assembly DY 904125 51 by Candace Ramirez

NOTE. I bought this replacement a year ago for my 12 year old Dyson and it still works great! But this replacement hose only lasted a year and then broke again. I'm currently duct-taping it together until I order another replacement. Still cheaper than buying a new vacuum cleaner! My question is: how come the original hose lasted 12 years and the new ones fall apart within a year? Just curious. Still a decent product!
