The internet ratings clearly indicate a discontent with the length of the tools hose. Is there a extensioin hose available anywhere? Details please.

Sears sells an "upright vacuum hose attachment" that extends the vacuum reach by 20 feet. The part number is #8174865.

The short hose is a problem. I get spider webs that cannot be reached. Also is nearly impossible for stairs. Have to wrestle it as you go. They need to offer an extension hose to add to the flexible hose.

The flexible hose is just a few feet long and the extension which comes with the cleaner is 30 or 36 inches long. So, you can use this vacuum to clean sofas and in and around furniture and tables. But, not to vacuum anything which is more than 4 or 5 feet from the floor.

Not sure how long people need hose to be but I have no problem getting behind couch, under beds, etc. I don't have stairs and that may be an issue - the hose is a little over 4 feet extended then add another approx 2 feet with the attachments. Can't imagine why you'd need more hose?

My suggestion to you is not to buy these expandable hoses that consist of the plastic fittings. I've experienced first hand that this hose is nothing but garbage and everyone that I know that purchased one had the same problem (leaks). Continue with the heavier but reliable hose until some company can produce a reliable flexible hose that will last for multiple years.

Not long enough. It only extends about 3' above the top of the handle. I did not buy the extension, because I am not sure if it is an attachment that you can leave on all the time. I like the vac, but was disappointed with the reach of the extension hose. It is ok for lower work, but not for high work.

Patrick! I found it!!! Thanks you for asking about the hose length. It forced me to search. The hose is 35" long. Whew.

I'm not certain if there is a diameter that is required or recommended, but I use a 3/8" diameter hose (50 ft.) and it works beautifully. My memory is a bit fuzzy, but I believe I also had to separately purchase the parts to connect the hose to the compressor and nail guns (male and female ends). I ended up with a kit (found at Home Depot)that was more than needed, but figured it couldn't hurt to have a few extra parts and accessories just in case. The hose was around $30 and I believe the kit was $6-$8.

I have the 10' extension hose. It's 40" long total, including both of the end connectors, when compressed.

the size of the allen wrench isnt imorrtant. It comes with one.. Honestly are you really concerned with the allen wrench? you dont have them in your house to install it your self? dont burden me with this nonsense. I have a life, a big one. just saying. that aint all i have that is big. bub all in all I like it but I got it wetter than pam anderson and its been a little flakey ever since. but I blame myself. just like I blame my self for my unplanned son.

I have had to return 3 -25' green expandable hoses. The Chinese quality control is missing. Get a dap hose

I purchased the extended length shower hose and love it. The fittings should be a standard size for all shower heads. Hope this helps.

That would be a big Negative, why don't you just get a longer expandable hose

The hose is 10ft and we don't believe you could add a longer one. We were so impressed with this item we bought two one for our winters in Florida and one for home. We also recommended it to 4 other couples who bought 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!

The hose adapters are not the same, the complete set of the right hoses was cheap enough. I bought a separate 45 degree adapter due to space restrictions.

The hose isnt very long..... However, it is very easy to add additional hose to the item as i did. Your local hardware store will have the hose you need, and its very simple to do.

I mostly use the power hose as I find the stretch hose to be a struggle...wish I could find a power hose less than the standard 30 foot hose...a happy medium would be nice

The hose that I use I just bought at the hardware store so it is just a "normal" hose. I don't know whether it is 3/4 inch or not, what is the diameter of a "normal" hose? This probably won't help much but it the best I can do. "Z"

You can also get a 100 foot pocket hose that is 3x stronger. I just ordered one from amazon. It cost a bit more.
