I had the original Dyson hose for 13 years before the hose stopped pinching the turbine stair and furniture cleaner. I used the tool weekly and sometimes more often as I had three pets (a mix of dogs and cats, including a long haired cat) during that time. I've also used it to remove pet hair from the underside of curtains. After all this use, the clamps finally failed when I attached the tool. However, I've had this hose for 9 months now and the clips just broke when I was attaching the turbine pet hair removal tool to sofas and chairs. I haven't even used it to work with curtains or carpeted stairs since I moved out during that time. Since I have 3 pets, it's exhausting. I currently have no way of removing pet hair from sofas and will have to wait for a new hose from Dyson. The turbine tool works well thanks to the rotating brush head.
