The hose is extremly uncomfortable to operate. It is so tight and short. Can I add a handle or extra wand to it?

Mine has an extra wand that use. It is attached between the hose and the tunnel on the left aide (if viewing it from the back). Hope this helps.

Yes, I have added an extra wand from another vacuum & it worked. However, after about one year other parts of the vacuum stopped working well & parts at the base by the wheels & beater brush cracked.

The hose is terrible, and the attachments are insufficient. I saved my old wand and tools from my old Hoover (they are universal and fit on the new wand-hose), but the hose is so stiff that it makes using any attatchments difficult. But don't blame it on Hoover...all new uprights have these useless hoses so that they look good in store displays and on the box. I ended up buying an inexpensive cannister Eureka Mighty Mite for when I need to do bare floors and other hose work.

I've ordered this product and now need a short hose to connect to my manual vaccum. I think it needs to be "male." I can't seem to find one. Any suggestions?

The hose can easily be shortened simply by removing the curved wand from one end and you can cut the hose to your desired length with a utility knife. Reattach the curved wand to the end you would like to use. The bags are also available for purchase on Amazon.com part number HPB2HPK.

I said yes but it's NO!!!!! BUT! The problem is not the length it is the depth. The canister is 9 inches at its deepest end. I got out the measuring tape ...you will have to take apart the long solid attachment to the hose each time you store it and reassemble everything for each use. The canister measures about 18 inches max. The "wand" is "telescopic" so instead of breaking into 2 parts, it retracts into itself and can be detached from the hose and the "floor tool" if you do this, the wand is 24 inches long.

If you have the correct wand you may need to use a radiator clamp depending on the thickness of the hose wall, I have found that it's almost as cheaper to buy wand with with the valve. Hope this helps. den Oh I just saw the list of items you bought. it will work fine. daddys is a good site!!!

Both ends are fixed unless they sell an extension that fits into the wand end. I haven't seen any hose extension accessories that would work like that but you could try the Dyson website.

I used the kreepy krawler cleaner and that hose fit get. You have to twist it to remove the top. It is had to do at first, but gets easier.

This is only the hand held head. No hose comes with it. Your existing hose should fit.

I don't know if it will fit or not but I don't recommend it, the wand has a big pressure drop so if you use it, the water coming out of the end is very weak, also the water sprays out the top not the side so it made it difficult to wash in high places which is why I bought the extension in the first place.

I bought the wrong attachment hose. It didn't fit on my machine, so I sent it back. I haven't ordered another one, although it would be very handy. Make sure you get the right one.

I think a reasonable length could be added...best solution is probably to have the source hose directly feed a couple of lengths in a "T" arrangement as there will be a larger pressure drop along a long, smaller diameter mister line. Also suggest you get several replacement mister heads as some don't function well or can clog up with time. I am still enjoying mine!

Sure. What I did with mine was to remove the hose, and hooked up a quick connect receptacle. That way I can connect anything at all to it, from an air chuck, to an air gun, whatever.

You are very welcome !If you find out how to extend the hose, I would love to know .... And you are right, the hose is VERY short and hard to reach where we need to.

I agree Angela, I find the hose is supposed to stretch but not as long and easily that I would like. I confess to using a small portable Oreck for long reaches and an extension pole with a dust rag attached for high ceilings. I really do like the way the Hoover picks up hair in the carpet, too bad I can't get the dog who sheds to do the vacuuming:)

You would need to measure the diameter of your hose then check the measurements for the wand.

All you have to do is detach one end of the hose from the body and attach which tool you would like to use. The downside is that the hose is limited by it's range. It is too short to do drapes or anything over 3 ft. Also note it is very heavy to move around.
