Using old Dyson attachments on new models

I’ve got an old Dyson DC39 that I bought around 2012 that has finally died on me.
I’m looking at buying the new Big Ball Barrel, but only if I can use all of my old attachments, including the power turbine heads etc
I was told there is an attachment that you can get that will allow all of these older attachments (I have basically everything that was available back then to buy) on the new Big Ball model.
But I can’t find it on the site (www.dyson.com.au)
By doing a google search I found a guy who bought an attachment to allow his old attachments on his new vacuum, but it doesn’t even work.
 


I want to know if I am able to get an adapter specifically so I can use DC39 attachments on the Big Ball.
If I can’t, I’m buying a different brand of vacuum.
Thanks in advance for any help regarding this 👍

Hi ​@pnut,

Welcome to the Dyson Community, 

Thank you for reaching out about your Dyson DC39 and the new Big Ball Barrel. We understand your concern regarding the compatibility of your old attachments, including the turbine heads, with the new model.

Please be informed that smaller accessories, such as the Mini Turbine Head, Flexi Crevice Tool, and Soft Dusting Brush etc, will work with your new machine if you use this adapter: https://www.dyson.com.au/quick-release-adaptor-967370-01.

However, larger turbine heads or other floor tools may not be compatible.

Hope it helps!
