Is the hose attached for easy switching from floor to tools or do you have to connect and disconnect the hose every time you switch?

Hose is always attached at one end. Hose reach is short, sometimes you have to maneuver vacuum to allow a bit more reach. Vacuum highly rated by consumer reports and they did mention hose length being short but I never thought it would be a problem.

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.

Hose has the normal screw on attachment. No different from other hoses, except it really doesn't kink!!!

Yes, we had to purchase a quick disconnect hose that hooks directly into our travel trailer and then to the grill. The hose is not something you can find at Home Depot or other such stores. We purchased it from a propane only place. The end of the hose that hooks to the grill is standard and the part that hooks to our trailer is a quick disconnect end made by the propane place. We have had the grill for at least four years and we end up doing all the cooking for everyone that goes with us because no one wants to use the small propane bottles. It works wonderfully.

In order to use the hose for attachments, you must push a button to "unlock" it from the base of the vacuum. I found this to be a pain. Personally, I like a hose that I can just lift out and use without any extra steps.

With the hard floor attachment excellent. You can also use the power head turned off, but the hard floor attachment is better.

you have to detach the hose each time. a bit annoying and could be better designed but attaching and detaching is not that hard.

The detachable hose has a collar which is the dusting brush. It slides downward and locks in place when you want to use it. Slide it up and out of the way, and the hose end is exposed. There were no separate attachments that came along with the unit, otherwise. As an aside, please allow me to inform you that this is the most powerful hand-held vacuum cleaner I have ever owned. It does the most important thing a vacuum cleaner can do...provide powerful suction! Great little vacuum! Highly recommended!

It connects to the hose. It takes some getting used to as it "articulates" (moves) both up/down as well as sideways, sometimes both at the same time. It took me a few times of using it to get used to it, although it still drives me crazy sometimes - I wish Dyson would just offer a plain hardwood floor brush like the older models used to come with (my old Dyson hard wood floor brush will not work with the newer Dysons, of course! And, it does work on the uprights - I have the DC41 Animal upright.

This item connects directly to your garden hose. If you want to add a quick disconnect, you'll need both male & female disconnects.

I have this electric pressure washer as well as a gas washer. I just went to my garage to take a look at the connects to answer your question. There are a couple of quick connects on this unit. The water supply hose screws into a plastic, yellow quick disconnect that stays attached to the pressure washer when not in use. The other quick disconnect is on the pressure hose/wands. The hose side is a brass tip that attaches to the front of the unit (a mixed plastic and brass connection). The handle side of the wand uses one of two provided nozzles, both of which are spring loaded to attach to the handle, both plastic. The implication of your question implies a concern for the quality of the unit. I have used this machine as well as a prior, smaller unit with no failure due to the quality of the connections. I hope this answers your factual question as well as your implied concerns. This is a well made, useful product. It does what you want it to. It is not a gas model pressure washer but it is a good electric pressure washer.

It is very easy to use. After you cut the end of your hose off, just slide the nut over the outside of the hose, insert the other part into the cut-hose end, and then tighten the nut. All set and ready to use. I did it over a year ago, and still no issues or leaks from the connector. And, I love the quick disconnect for yard stuff and switching between sprinklers or spray ends. Nice plus.

You take off the floor attachment and put on the long tubelike tool. It is great for getting dirt out of sliding door tracks or in cracks or crevices. The vacuum is a little clumsy to hold with the tool on, but the whole think is so light that it is not a problem.

Yes this one has quick connects under, it and comes with red and blue 1/4" and 3/8" black hose. The other end of hose do not have quick disconnects and those disconnects are required. The faucet is not top mount using screwdrivers and top cannot be removed nor it has twist lock. One has to tighten the brass nut provided from underside.

Mine did not come with it but may be other sellers may include additional items as part of the deal. Inside the box, there are 4 attachments: the full sized motorized floor tool (shown in picture); combination tool; crevice tool and mini motorized tool. So if you want extension hose, you will need to buy that separately.Hope this helps.Kamie

Not sure, but found out that the Home Depot close to me does not sell air hoses with the same quick disconnects. Have to say though - great machine - used it for off roading in the desert to air my tires after airing them down.

It comes with as set of connectors but if you have multiple hoses to which you plan to connect it get a few connectors to make it more convenient.
