I give my DC26 to my nephew but wanted to use my anti-tangle turbine nozzle and fridge/baseplate slot which cost me about $50 each and were NOT an additional tool for my new vacuum. (Note: The Animal and Animal+ wireless models are basically the same, except that the +/price combo is only available at Costco. Dyson offered the adapter for $37.37! He took a chance as there was a free return option The price was CHEAP compared to the price of the Dyson No sacrificing quality and no burden on the vacuum DC 26 adapter with universal adapter increases the versatility of my new vacuum I highly recommend this product.
