         2 . The attachment according to  claim 1 , wherein the plate comprises a non-linear edge proximate to the air outlet end. 
     
     
         3 . The attachment according to  claim 2 , wherein the non-linear edge comprises a wave-shaped profile. 
     
     
         4 . The attachment according to  claim 3 , wherein the wave shaped profile is curved. 
     
     
         5 . The attachment according to  claim 2 , wherein the plate is substantially planar, and the non-linear edge of the plate extends substantially orthogonal to the central longitudinal axis of the attachment. 
     
     
         6 . The attachment according to  claim 2 , wherein the non-linear edge when viewed in a plane orthogonal to the plate, has a curved profile. 
     
     
         7 . The attachment according to  claim 1 , wherein the plate is configured to divide the airflow path into two equal sections. 
     
     
         8 . The attachment according to  claim 1 , wherein the wall is disposed about the longitudinal axis of the attachment. 
     
     
         9 . The attachment according to  claim 1 , wherein the wall comprises an annular wall extending around the longitudinal axis of the attachment, preferably located such that the centre of the annular wall lies on the longitudinal axis of the attachment. 
     
     
         10 . The attachment according to  claim 1 , wherein at least a portion of the wall is tapered. 
     
     
         11 . The attachment according to  claim 1 , wherein the wall tapers inwardly towards the air outlet end. 
     
     
         12 . The attachment according to  claim 10 , wherein the angle of taper of the wall varies between the inlet end and the outlet end. 
     
     
         13 . The attachment according to  claim 1 , wherein, the attachment comprises an external wall surrounding said wall of the attachment. 
     
     
         14 . The attachment according to  claim 1 , wherein the wall and the external wall each comprises a plurality of retention members configured to retain the wall within the external wall. 
     
     
         15 . The attachment according to  claim 1 , wherein the attachment comprises a seat configured to accommodate an RFID tag. 
     
     
         16 . The attachment according to  claim 1 , wherein the inlet end is adapted to receive part of the appliance. 
     
     
         17 . The attachment according to  claim 1 , comprising a magnet attached to the wall for securing the attachment to the appliance. 
     
     
         18 . The attachment according to  claim 1 , wherein the plate comprises perforations. 
     
     
         19 . The attachment according to  claim 1 , wherein the plate comprises through holes.
