Cheap and (possibly) cheerful - but NOT "professional"
I had hoped that some of the negative reviews were 'picky' but I now realise that they are pretty accurate. First and foremost, this is not a "professional" quality guillotine - it's relatively flimsy and, in my opinion, is not suitable for regular usage. However, if you just want something to trip the occasional piece (or pieces) of paper then this unit MIGHT be suitable.
Observations / usage experiences.
The guide / ruler at the top (hearted the hinge) is not securely fixed - it was slanted on my unit and hence was not at exactly 90degrees to the blade - hence making a 'square' cogent was not possible until I had realigned the guide, which was relatively simple as it is held in place by three screws, two of which are easily accessible.
Because of the nature of the design, whereby the blade exerts slight pressure against the base (so as to, in theory, give a good cut) any pieces of paper larger than A5 will have a tendency to ride up along the cutting edge and either tear or give a curved cut - a less than ideal situation. The fix is to press on the edge of the paper and hold it down on the base, but this is potentially dangerous as you run the risk of slicing off your fingertips!
I found that making small (A5 and smaller) cuts was pretty accurate (assuming that the above steps were carried out) but A4 tended to tear the paper at the bottom of the blade stroke (i.e. the paper furthest away from the blade hinge), regardless of whether the paper was held down or not.
The 90 degree paper guide (the movable one, shown in black on the item picture) was, as best, flimsy and needs to be held in place during cutting or else it will move - and hence your cuts will not be accurate. This means that you need three hands to achieve accurate cuts - one holding this guide, one holding the paper and one operating the blade.
Conclusion. It's cheap, might be useful if you don't need to make accurate cuts, but is not a "professional" item.

Good product, 95% compatible
Firstly, there is nothing wrong with the product, it works as a hose (which is its intended usage after all). However the two opposed press buttons used to detach the hose from the 'wand' (shown in white on the left connector end in the picture of the hose) are different to the genuine Dyson hose and are a little tricky to use in practice. They work, but require more force than the standard hose. If you have limited strength in your fingers you *might* be better with the genuine hose. Even with this *minor* niggle, I recommend this item as a good product.
