Hi there, it's Jack at Dyson.
All DC59 models were supplied with the docking station design shown below, which sounds as if it's the one you've seen in videos online:
From your description, it sounds like the docking station you've inherited may belong to an older Dyson cordless vacuum, such as DC35 or DC44. If you're able to call the Dyson Customer Helpline directly, we should be able to help determine exactly which docking station you have, and whether or not it's compatible with your DC59.
You can reach our experts by calling 1-866-693-9766 (US), 1-877-397-6622 (CA) 1800 239 766 (AU), or 0800 298 0298 (UK).
I'm not a complete moron (j/k). I even took a magnifying glass to see up close and didn't see debris of any kind. Thanks for responding, though.
