Do you use this in place of the beater bar or is it only used attached to the hose?

You attach it to the hose and use it to vacuum under furniture where the beater bar won't fit. It works best on hard surfaces, but you can use it on carpet too.

I don't think that it can be used without the hose because the tire pressure fitting is swaged onto the hose. If you unscrew the hose, the ball/check valve is going to fall out. The unit that I bought fell apart the first time I used it. I don't recommend this product at all.

You may have cleaned the brush bar also called the beater bar recently and placed the bar in wrong. The grey plastic part that fixes the brush in place on the end of the bar has one side that is longer than the other side. The longer side should be toward the vacuum motor while the rounded part should be placed the other way. There doesn't seem to be much information on this on the web. I had to take my machine in to a Dyson repair person to show me why it wasn't adjusted correctly. I hope this helps.David

Hose is separate-take care to buy the one that is MOST flexible-it's a few dollars more but absolutely worth it

the belt may have come off. Read the manual and check the belt, it may have been cut if you ran over something starp like a paper clip or the belt may have just slipped off... more than likely that is why the beater bar is not spinning. be sure to check all the hoses that nothing is stuck inside.

Correct, it has a spigot to connect the hose to. The purpose of this item is to reel the hose in with the turn of the handle.

Yes, to run the carpet attachment, not needed for just suction. this is a great replacement, better than my original. I'm looking forward to the metal nozzle not breaking in two or less years. Four boys- kinda hard on the equipment.

You put it on the end of the hose. Make sure you secure it tightly with the enclosed zip ties. Good luck.

Yes. Just unscrew the five screws on bottom of the vaccuum , take off belt and pull out old beater bar and replace with new one. Thats it. Hope that answers your question.

That is quite weird. I have the same model. When I turn mine on, I do so with the handle in the upright position. The beater bar doesn't engage or turn on. When I push down on the handle and begin vacuuming, the beater bar engages.When I want the beater bar to remain off while I use it, I depress the beater bar off switch while the handle is still in the upright position, then push the handle down to begin vacuuming. The beater bar never engages, or moves an inch. If you are using it as I described, does the beater bar still engage on your unit?

If your wiring is correct for each outlet and you have a wired hose, you plug in the hose and have an on/off switch on the handle of the hose. When you use a beater bar for carpets, the switch will also turn it off and on.

It can be attached directly to a spigot, but typically it is used on the end of a hose.

It attached to the current hose on my Self-Propelled Windtunnel. However, the "functional" length wasn't as advertised. It is also heavy. Fact is, it is sitting unused in a closet.

There is no beater bar on this make/model. Suction is not very good and the air flow channel is limited.

It shouldnt (we dont have laminate floors ); you can shut of the beater bar when on floors other than carpet

You notice it has a hand crank on the side w/ bar inside to hold the hose. Suppose it could be used but you might have an old pail or tub of some kind which would work
