I would have left it right where it was sitting, but that's just me. I absolutely loathe bagless plasticrap vacs and won't give them a second look when I see them out by the curb. An Electrolux or Kirby would be an entirely different matter. Yeah, I've turned into a bit of a vacuum snob in my old age and I realize other people have differing tastes, to which they are entitled. At least you saved a big hunk of plastic from taking up space in a landfill for the next few million years. That would be great if your partner's niece could use it or just leave it in the rental unit for the incoming tenant.

The Dyson DC07 was one of Dyson's best uprights and still is. It's a well respected vacuum.
The Dyson DC07 was released in 2001 and was the first of Dyson's vacuums to implement the patented Root Cyclone technology into an upright. The purple color signifies that it is the Animal model. The power in a Dyson comes not in the brushroll but from its intense suction power. A DC07 brushroll and hose is about $18-$19 each on eBay. Vacuum collectors on eBay pay $100-$150 for a good condition working DC07 on eBay. The rare Breast Cancer Awareness model that is pink sells for $170-$200. |

Where the suction slider is at the top of the handle, that is where you clip the hose into that goes to the vacuum. You pull the wand completely out of the vacuum and the tools fit the end of the wand. For using the tools in hard to reach areas and to do furniture in handheld mode, you just connect them into the end of the hose without the wand attached.
My DC07 has no tools either, but I measured tools from my DC28 AirMuscle and it looks like the attachment diameter is 1 and 11/16ths of an inch for the male end of the attachment. My Dysons are in a storage room in my basement and are kind of boxed in so I can't measure them at the moment with the hose out.

Yeah 1.25 tools will fit on it.
If memory serves you can typically insert genuine tools into the end of the hose if you didn't want to use the wand. When you brought up it's grooming it made me think that you may have belt tensions issues. The DC-07/14/33 use dual stretch belts around a clutch. The clutch assembly is kinda spendy if i recall but there are some video tutorials on replacing the belts on them. Though maybe you don't and maybe it is just the worn brushroll. It's been....like 8 years since I've had a DC-07 and I cannot remember if they groomed decently. |
