Is the long wand on this metal or plastic? I am looking to replace my old DC14 and don't want to buy one of the new all plastic models.

I don't think it's plastic, I've never noticed. Maybe that's because I haven't used this vacuum very much in the last 3 years since I bought it b/c its performance has been terrible. Just keeps cutting out like the it was over-heating or the rotating brush-bar was prevented from rotating b/c of some obstruction. I'm telling you what the owners manual suggested. Nonsense on both parts. After calling the company several times, I was given the opportunity to send it back, which I did. Upon its return, the problem still existed. I've purchased two other vacuums since, NOT Dyson. Hell no, never again.

I'm not 100%, but I've got an old wand from an aftermarket/replacement Karcher that works with the new machine. I bought the replacement wand for a Mcculoch actually, but the Karcher fit that too. I think you will be fine, you could even take your wand into a Lowes/HomeDepot etc and see if it fits the floor model.

I am not familiar with the other model. This one has a metal core part with a metal screw and part of the handle is metal, but it is basically covered in hard plastic.

Its plastic. And very weak. The metal only goes into the plastic handle for about 1/2". Mine snapped in half, I just posted a couple of photos.

Mine has a plastic twist nut that screws onto the wand. If your plastic twist connection has the threads then it may be the same as mine and works. The wand brass end is threaded and attaches to a similarly threaded nut (mine is a plastic nut)

If I understand your question then it is plastic. The piece and the end of the metal rod, right? I have to admit, since I bought it I bought a second for work, it is the best quality press I have owned. Let me know if you have any other qs

All the wands are plastic and do the job. You can also use old wands from other vacuums

Arun, The first one I purchased over 5 years ago is metal,my new one purchased a few months ago appears to be plastic (I haven't used it yet). I hope it works well,but now that you have called this to my attention I am dubious.

The main part of the handle and extension part is metal. The part that is connected to the head is plastic....it's very sturdy and the handle can be adjusted to just about any length, long or short, that you'd want.

Hi Victoria, I don't really know the different model numbers, but I originally got probably the lowest end that came in the introductory offer. I went through two of those wands so then upgraded to the $100.00 wand and that broke within three days. I was very disappointed with the quality of the unit, but did like the product. Honestly, I gave up on it and went back to Bare Minerals. I love their product and it is so pure, it would be wonderful for your daughter's skin. My daughter also suffered with acne and she loved the Bare Minerals product also, very soothing. Good luck to you and your daughter!

The blade and the motor are, of course, metal. The rest is plastic. It is very sturdy. We have been using it for about 6 months now for frozen smoothies (very thick ones) and it hasn't let us down. Works like a charm every time.

The wand is not detachable. The handle is made of plastic. But the good sturdy kind of plastic. I've only had the Kuissential frother for about a month and it's still going strong. I actually brought it with me on a vacation with friends. My friends thought I was funny that I brought It, but then couldn't believe how perfect the cappuccinos and latte's came out. They all went out and ordered one. Also, I think this is a great stocking stuffer idea. It really is one of my favorite purchases this year!

Unless they've changed the product, I suspect it means that the handle can be replaced with a plastic replacement. Probably in case of damage. The one I purchased is a metal handle, head, and handle cap (screws onto the opposite end of the handle from the head). The only complaint I have is that the handle cap keeps vibrating loose when I tap out the hair, but that could easily be resolved with application of super glue.

The one I have is plastic. I am very pleased with the item. It doesn't feel "cheaply made". I would recommend. It works great for me.

A standard wand will work woth this unit but you may hace tt swap out the connector for male or female depending on your wand. Also you will need tp get an insulated disconnect because this thing gets hot and you could burn yourself

Plastic parts but sturdy, holds the shower wand very well and attaches easily. I love it and am very pleased with it's materials, i'ts looks and it's handiness.

I have a DC14 Animal and the adapter that comes with this brush connects to both the wand and the hose. With the want it is the female connector and with the hose it is the male connector.
