Easiest and most economical option I've come across. I found a YouTube video showing how to snap off the old hose and clip on the new one. So easy. The hose is transparent as opposed to the original opaque Dyson hose. The suction power is the same. The brush/wand attachments attach properly and the extension tube fits into the hose for proper storage. I've had the Dyson for over 10 years now and the hose has hardly ever come apart so I'm hoping this hose will last at least that long.
