NO its not , I don't even sell them . use your dc23 turbine head on the bed, its the brushes that get the dirt out not the suction. by the way never run that turbine head on the hard floors with the brushes running, it over revs and can damage it.
I love my dysons and they are a top seller for me but some of the attachments are out of this world in pricing!

I have a problem with that pet tool, Have you seen the lenth of a dyson hose , the are pretty short they are also very noisy machines too So I ask you what on Gods green earth were the designers thinking when they designed this attachment.
I have 11 yes ELEVEN cats ( they stay inside most of the time too) we also have 3 dogs and 6 bunny rabbits If you want to get rid of my cats from any area of the house switch on a vacuum Kitty's go by by fast
so how are you supposed to use it without having your skin removed by cat claws ??? |

I never thought about the noise thing. I haven't even tried the tool, only thought it was a great idea. I know my Kirby hoses are quite long, hadn't thought about that. |

Found a used one in the back of the shop i frequent i've tried it on two mattresses and my impression on it is...it's a worthless gimmick you'd be better off with the regular upholstry tool. The mattress tool barely got anything out of either mattress and worked better as a straight suction carpet tool then it did as a mattress tool. I will 2nd using a kirby in "hand vac" mode or using a canister with a beating powerhead like a Eureka Vibragroomer PN i've had great results using a Tristar with a Eureka PN took about 3/4-1 cup of white powder out of a queen sized mattress

most mattress fabric is very delicate . I used my Kirby once on a brand new mattress and it put a hole in the cover and it was a G5 with the soft brushroller not the stiff brush rollers of todays Vacuums . Best bet is to use straight suction of the Kirby or any upholstery tool will do just fine . Also I use my Aerus Side Kick II which has soft bristles which are delicate to most fabric .
