I bought this attachment to clean our carpeted stairs. It works well for that application but I was surprised to find out it is best suited for vacuuming our tile floors. Whereas our old vacuum would just spit out the dirt as it passed over it, this attachment works great at getting all of the dust and hair that gathers along the edges of our tiled floors. I use the Dyson without tools on our carpet and then I put this attachment on to do under the sofa and tables and all of our tiled surfaces. Works great!

When we purchased our Dyson, I read about this tool in some of the reviews and decided to purchase the Factory-Reconditioned unit and use the money we saved to get this accesory.

This was a great choice, we love the vacuum and this tool does an outstanding job on our wood and tile floors. I think it does a great job on steps also. It has greatly expanded the functionality of the basic Dyson, and is well worth the extra cost.

This tool is awesome for reaching under stuff, something the big Dyson doesn't do well. They should make this standard equipment instead of after market purchase, but still worth every penny...

The low reach tool is very useful and easy to use, fast to attach and good on every surface. With this tool you can reach under the shallowest of furniture. The only reason I don't give it five stars is because I think this tool should be included when you purchase the DC07 because of the DC07's inability to get under almost all furniture unless you put the tiny tool on it which is tedious.

I am a relatively new owner of a Dyson Slim DC18. I ordered this from Amazon without being 100% sure it would fit my DC18.

Yes, it does fit the new Dyson Slim DC18. It comes with two adapters and one of them allows you to fit the DC18. It fits both the "wand" and the "hose" just fine.

The yellow part in the picture allows you to adjust for vacuuming carpeting or bare floors -- in the bare floors mode it has a non-moving brush.

The best feature for me is on carpets using it to vacuum under the sofa, love seat, bed, etc. It really has a very low clearance so it easily swivels to fit under.

Only when you use a Dyson yourself will you really appreciate its ability to clean and pick up everything.

While using Dyson's accessories are not difficult, in my opinion, Dyson falls short of providing really good instructions. I believe it would really help new Dyson owners to receive a DVD that provides very user friendly instructions, demos and more!

The two adapters that come with this item will allow one to attach most 1 1/4 inch attachments and accessories, such as, ceiling fan vacuum, etc., after market accessories.

Amazon had the best price for this since the (slower) shipping was free. Please see the many other reviews that give different viewpoint opinions.

I have only had this attachment very briefly, but so far I am very pleased with the performance. I was concerned about whether this would fit my DC14 since it was advertised for the 07 model. What I found when it arrived, was that it has adapters that will accommodate the DC07, DC14, DC17, DC18, DC11, DC15, and the DC21. This meets my need for an attachment for all of my bare floors and under furniture. One nice feature is that it has a foot adjustment feature that can be adjusted in a second for floors or carpets. Highly recommended!

Much as I love my Dyson DC07 machine, I'm not terribly impressed by this attachment. Quite honestly, I think the other attachments that already come with the vacuum would be just as effective in reaching those areas under which the cleaner itself doesn't fit.
The way this attaches to the hose -- well, it's not easy to keep the hose straight enough to be effective.
Hard to explain, but I wouldn't recommend buying this until you've tried out the vacuum cleaner on its own. I expect this attachment will be gathering a lot of its own dust just sitting in the closet.

We have a lot of tile floors and under the bed cleaning, this is such a wonderful tool to have and it REALLY sucks up the dirt on the tile floors and it gets EVERYTHING. Under the bed cleaning is so much easier and I am glad I made the purchase. Thank you

This is my first upright (Dyson DC18 Slim). I got several accessories for it. This one allows me to use it like a canister, to vacuum under the love seat and other hard to reach places. I was very happy with how it cleaned under my California king sized bed, i could reach everywhere, and it got lots and lots of dust into the bin. The suction is very good. I don't find that it's as strong peripherally as the suction on vacuum cleaner itself, which is to be expected, and sometimes it's hard for me to maneuver, no different from my canister though, trying to get it flat enough to make suction. but it definitely helps me to extend the abilities of the Slim which came with only two attachments, good ones but each with limited functions. This is a useful tool for me that i'm glad to have, thanks to this tool, i don't miss my canister at all.

I first have to say how much I LOVE my Dyson vacuum. I was looking for a vacuum to sweep my hard wood floors better and could reach under furniture. This is awkward to use and it either pushes the dirt around or sucks to the floor so you have to bend down to lift just a little to get the right power. I would not recommend this, the bare floor setting for the vacuum cleaner works just fine. I am still on the hunt for a light weight sweeper that is great.
