Tools and Hardware Reviews of Dyson Mini Turbine Tool
Customer Review: I returned it because it wasn't worth the money
Summary: 1 Stars
First and foremost I love my DYSON vacuum and have convinced several of my friends that the price was definitely worth the money of the base unit. I originally purchased the yellow model because the purple (animal model) was never in stock and I was having a hard time justifying the price without having seen it in action. Because of that I thought it was a GREAT idea when they started selling the Mini Turbine Tool so I could finally get some of the pet hair from my 3 cats and dog off the sofa and chairs. As soon as I saw it I purchased it and couldnt wait to get home and try it out. I have never been so disappointed in a product. When you used it on the furniture you had to be so far off the fabric otherwise it would stop spinning - I couldn't get it close enough to the fabric to actually be effective on picking up any of the cat/dog hair without actually using it just for the suction. I tried it on several different types of fabric as well as the various living room and bedroom furniture. Same results each time. After several attempts - I packed it back up and returned it for a refund. Don't waste your time with this. Hopefully it will be redesigned in the future but this version is a dyson dud...
Customer Review: the _Not So_ Mini Turbine Tool. Belongs in the trash!
Summary: 1 Stars
This came with my DC17 Animal vacuum which I LOVE! I have a couple of dachshunds and microfiber sofas so I needed the Animal model, or so I thought. I spent a couple of days tweaking with the fittings thinking I was just doing something wrong with the Turbine Tool. I finally called Dyson customer service and they explained to me how to attach the turbine head to the hose. Come to find out, I had been doing it right the whole time. I explained this to the woman and told her that the brush barely spins and stops as soon as you put it on the fabric of the sofa. She had nothing to say to that, no response at all. It was dead air on the phone! The only thing I could think to say after that awkward silence was, "Ok, I'll tweak with it more and call you guys back if I'm still having problems." and the conversation was over.
Please don't waste your money on this tool or buy the Animal model just for this. I have to keep my broke down Eureka which I intended on returning just to keep their version of the same tool, (which works excellently on the Dyson BTW)
Customer Review: Cheaper to just buy a hand vac!
Summary: 1 Stars
This thing is worthless! The brush was hardly spinning on our medium-pile carpet - and the suction is dramatically reduced. On the plus side, our ferrets had some fascination with it and kept running away with it and hiding it under the couch.
You're much better off spending LESS money and buying one of the below units, all of which have great reviews and spinning brushes - and you won't have to deal with the awkward hose either:
Shark SV736 15.6-Volt Cordless Handheld Vacuum Cleaner with Motorized Brush, Colors Vary (Gray or Green)
Black & Decker HV9010P Retriever Pet-Series Cyclonic-Action Corded Dustbuster and Blower
Eureka 71B Hand-Held Vacuum
Customer Review: Beware of misleading product "feature" description
Summary: 1 Stars
I purchased the Dyson Mini Turbine Tool for my Dyson DC18, relying on the Amazon.com "Product Feature" which read at the time of my purchase (and still reads), "Conveniently attaches to any Dyson vacuum cleaner." Not so for the DC18 and the DC16. They are the exceptions stated in the fine print on the Dyson product label. Unfortunately, I did not unpack my Mini Turbine Tool in its manufacturer's packaging and make this discovery until after the expiration of my Amazon.com no-cost return period. I intend to return this product because it is useless to me, but I'll be eating the return shipping cost and a portion of my original purchase expense. I don't fault Amazon.com for the return policy. I do fault Amazon.com for the inaccurate characterization of the product on this site, which induced me to purchase it in the first place. My rating of one star is not for the product but instead for the disappointing Amazon.com shopping experience in this instance.Customer Review: Fancy - but doesn't work. READ ON FOR BETTER PRODUCT:

You can read countless reviews about the Dyson vacuum and I would add nothing to it other than this:
If you're looking for an attachment to remove pet hair via the hose, DO NOT buy the Dyson tool (for $50+). It simply doesn't work. BUT....
We have 2 white, long hair pets and emerald green carpet. I finally found a tool that works! The Hoover Windtunnel Turbo Brush (Part # 40200013) fits the nozzle on my Dyson perfectly. That little sucker CRANKS! The brush spins hard even when it's touching the carpet. It's super easy to unclog the long pet hair from the brush. You squeeze two side buttons, it opens to 2 half pieces, you extract the hair that is wrapped around the brush and it starts whirring again. PLUS, I think I paid less than $10 to get it on eBAY.
