Overview

The Dyson Flexi Crevice Tool # 917633-01 is an accessory designed to enhance the versatility of your Dyson vacuum cleaner, allowing you to clean hard-to-reach areas with greater ease. It’s particularly useful for cleaning tight corners, narrow spaces, and spots that are difficult to access with standard attachments.

Key Features:

1. Flexible Design:

   • The standout feature of the Dyson Flexi Crevice Tool is its flexible hose. Unlike traditional rigid crevice tools, this attachment can bend and flex to reach awkward angles and deep spaces, such as around furniture, behind appliances, and under car seats.
   • The flexibility makes it easier to clean areas that would otherwise be inaccessible with a traditional straight tool.

2. Length & Reach:

   • The tool extends to approximately 15-30 inches (38-76 cm), providing ample reach for deep or elevated spaces.
   • It allows you to clean high or low spaces without needing to constantly move the vacuum.

3. Compatibility:

   • The Flexi Crevice Tool is designed to be compatible with Dyson cordless and barrel vacuums, including the V6, V7, V8, V10, V11, V12, and V15 models, as well as Dyson cylinder and upright vacuums. However, always verify compatibility before purchasing, as some older models may not be compatible.

4. Precision Cleaning:

   • The narrow nozzle at the end of the tool helps concentrate suction in specific areas, which makes it ideal for removing debris from tight gaps, such as around furniture, in car interiors, or between keyboard keys.
   • It is particularly effective for cleaning edges, cracks, and crevices, where dust and dirt can accumulate unnoticed.

5. Ease of Use:

   • The tool is lightweight, easy to attach and detach from the vacuum, and very user-friendly. Its ergonomic design makes it comfortable for extended use, even for those with limited mobility.

6. Durable Construction:

   • Like most Dyson products, the Flexi Crevice Tool is well-built, constructed with high-quality materials that ensure durability and long-lasting performance.

Performance & Cleaning Efficiency

• Suction Power: The tool works effectively when paired with Dyson vacuums, delivering strong suction and precision cleaning. The flexibility allows it to navigate areas where other tools may struggle.
• Versatility: It is highly versatile for cleaning a wide variety of surfaces, including furniture, baseboards, car interiors, and even pet areas. The bendable hose makes it easy to maneuver around obstacles like radiators, shelves, or behind heavy furniture.
• Durability: Customers have reported that the tool maintains its performance even after extended use, thanks to Dyson's robust build quality.

Pros:

• High build quality: As expected from Dyson, it’s built to last and withstand frequent use.

Cons:

• Cost: Some users may find Dyson accessories, including this one, to be on the pricier side compared to generic or non-Dyson options.
• Size: While the tool is generally compact, its length may feel cumbersome when cleaning small areas or for users with limited storage space.
• Compatibility: Although it’s compatible with most newer Dyson vacuums, older models may not work with this tool, requiring a different attachment or adapter.

Product Description:

The Dyson Flexi crevice tool extends and flexes to clean awkward gaps with your Dyson vacuum cleaner, such as between cabinets and beneath car seats.

Stiff nylon bristles at the end of the Flexi crevice tool help dislodge stubborn and ground-in dirt, including food waste and other debris. Airflow is faster at the tip - to remove dirt and debris from hard to reach corners and gaps.

The extendable rubber section balances toughness and flexibility - thick enough to channel high-velocity airflow without deforming, flexible enough to bend around corners. It detaches, so the tough polypropylene main shaft can be used as a regular crevice tool to clean away larger debris.

Suitable for: All Dyson Upright, Canister and Hand Held Vacuums.
