How to Replace an Internal Hose in a Dyson Animal DC07

The DC07 Animal is one of the numerous upright vacuum cleaners from Dyson. As with all Dyson vacuums, the DC07 is designed to pick up dirt and debris using suction. If you happen to experience a noticeable drop in suction, you may have a torn or damaged internal hose. This hose is found underneath the machine and will need to be replaced for optimal performance. Fortunately, Dyson vacuums are maintenance-friendly and many parts, including the internal hose, can be serviced at home.
