Dyson Low Reach Vacuum Floor Tool for DC 15 The Ball, July 27, 2006
This review is from: Dyson DC07 DC14 Low-reach Attachment Tool (Kitchen)
After reading the reviews for this attachment for other Dyson models I felt I had to give it a try. I hated lugging the vacuum around in the kitchen because the footprint is just too big & clumsy to navigate around the kitchen furniture. This attachment does a superb job on vinyl & wood with the bristles extended. It reaches in between cabinet doors & the floor and under built-in appliances like the dishwasher. It also gets under the fridge where the main Dyson foot does not fit. It also does a great job on the stairs with the bristles retracted - it really grabs the carpet with a tight seal!
My first complaint: Although the head swivels quite a bit to get into tight spots it doesn't swivel quite enough. I had a hard time getting between the side of my free-standing stove & the wall. I twisted every which way I could but could not maintain a seal at the very back corner.
My second complaint is that many of the attachments for the DC15 require the wand to be reversed leaving a very poorly designed "up-side-down" & uncomfortable handle to vacuum with (unless I'm doing somethig wrong? It comes with NO instructions so we made it fit the only way we could :). I have no idea why Dyson designed the vac this way - it should have been obvious that this is an uncomfortable way of assembling the attachments.
We ordered this item direct from Dyson because we couldn't tell if the Amazon version would fit our vacuum. This attachment fits ONLY the DC15 - don't order the wrong one!
Overall, since I love my Dyson, I have to give the attachment 4 stars. I'm glad I bought this item because now that I have it, I wouldn't want to be without it. Dyson should include this attachment with the vacuum -- it's a pricey addition at $50 plus shipping!

It is just as it seems, June 18, 2010
This review is from: Dyson DC07 DC14 Low-reach Attachment Tool (Kitchen)
I bought this to get under the bed and under other low objects. It took out tons of dust from under my bed. It works great. There is no "grooming" of the carpet, because there is not a rotating brush, but the suction is great and it will get all the junk under low things.
