I have this vacuum and really like it! But how do you get the tiny extendable delicate brush to stay on the edge of the clear plastic extension?

On the inside of the clear plastic part there is a bit of a lip. You just have to push it on until it is secure. If you push it on too far it will slide too far back and if it's not on enough it will come off. On the inside of the brush piece there should be a square section that acts as a latch with a bit of a raised bar on the clear plastic side. Hope this helps.

Annie ... I had no problem getting the end cap to stay in place. I simply place the end-cap on the handle, then turned it over and struck it fairly hard on the floor.

I use the on board hose that came with the vacuum. It does not pull out easily and wants to go back to the storage position if not held firmly.

Same answer here, the default is off. I have mine attached to my shop vac, where it works great by the way.

I have not encountered either of these problems. Is the brush working properly or jammed?? Try using less pressure and allow the unit to glide over the surfaces. I haven't used this on my cat but it does remove cat hair from my furniture!!!

The attachment the brush is in can be removed, but I can't find a way to remove the brush itself.

Just make sure the vacuum part at the bottom is clean. I had the same issue but turned out the brushes at the bottom had stuff rapped around it blocking the water to come out.

You will need two rubber end pieces which must be placed one on each end of the brush roller, and then that entire assembly must be slide into the grove at the bottom of the vacuum cleaner at an angle. Those two rubber end pieces are as shown in the picture of this (http://www.amazon.com/Eureka-Sanitaire-Disturbulator-Assembly-Length/dp/B00EUKM388/ref=pd_sbs_indust_3?ie=UTF8&refRID=10HKPRBY1PPWD7G7FR5E) item.

I did shorten mine. I think it was the vacuum end I pulled out, it's just a friction fit and pulls out.

I have not had a problem with the brush coming off. The fit is tight between the handle and the brush. If yours is a little loose, maybe you could wrap the end of the handle with one or more layers of electrical tape to take up the slack.

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

I use a butter knife and push it out from the top so I never have to touch the end that bites. Sometimes a vacuum is created, then I just run hot water over it for a few seconds.

I just run my hands over the bristles quickly and lightly or use a vacuum hose. Don't wash it. You don't want the ends of the bristles to tangle or knot.

I have the same problem. The old brush stays on, the new one doesn't even click into place and detaches immediately. I try to hold it in place but it is a real hassle. The old one worked fine. Not sure what or why changes were made.

It goes inside the detachable head that you use to vacuum carpets. It stays on by tension and should thread between the cardboard roller with the bristles attached and the part of the head that moves when you tighten and loosen it on the vacuum itself. You'll know you have it on correctly when the bristles move again when the head is reattached to the vacuum.

The brush fits over the extension tube, so the diameter of the circular opening of the brush head needs to be a little larger than the extension tube opening. I have a 4 gal wet vac. and it fits perfectly. If you are unsure, take a measurement of the end of the extension tube. This measurement should go across the tube opening and not around. This is what I did and then made sure the opening in the brush head was just a little bigger. It works well on carpet and tile surfaces.
