Dyson Mattress Tool

March 15th, 2008


Dyson Mattress Tool
Customer Review: Dyson Mattress Tool
OK, so a vacuum cleaner tool is nothing to get excited about…but this tool is surprisingly useful! I used it to vacuum under the sofa cushions and was amazed at the amount of dust, hair and fluff it picked up!! Oh…and I found a few pound coins, too ;-)
Customer Review: Does what it says
I saw this on Amazon and thought why not. We have a Dyson (DC14 Animal), and so an extra attachment to add functionality sounded good. Basically it’s similar to an attachment we already had, but is about 3 times wider. So it sucks up more in less time. When changing the sheets I thought I’d try it out on our matress and protective cover. They appeared cleaner after passing over (but it’s hard to tell with grey/beige), and you could see more dust in the Dyson, so it must have done something!

I wouldn’t say it’s a must have, as you could do the same with the standard accessory (taking much longer). It’s good to see you can get these bits at reasonable prices - and since they fit all Dysons you could lend it to friends/family to use as well.

Dyson DC04/05/07/08 Hard Floor Tool

March 15th, 2008


Dyson DC04/05/07/08 Hard Floor Tool
Customer Review: A fantastic investment
This Dyson tool doesn’t look much for [...]but once you start using it you’ll be glad you bought it. Cleaning wooden floors is a doddle, very quick and it doesn’t scratch (very important to me - my Dyson DC04 upright was leaving terrible scuffs and scratch marks on my cherry veneer floors). I agree that the angle of the fitting tends to make you stoop a bit when you’re using it but that’s about the only drawback. I didn’t find that it came loose as some reviewers have complained (you just need to screw it on tightly in the first place). The suction is brilliant, so it’s great on rugs and carpets too. I’d definitely recommend this attachment, especially for hard surfaces.

Customer Review: Could be so much better
I agree with one of the previous reviews in that the angle and fitting of the attachment needs improving. The tool works extremely well when positioned correctly but in order to achieve this the “wand” needs to be held in an extremely awkward position. I also found that the attachment was prone to falling off which was very annoying. If Dyson could manufacture a type of adaptor which would angle the hard floor tool in an optimum position as well as ensuring a more secure fitting this would be be well worth 5 stars.
