I'm looking for something that includes a hose and attachment so that I can vacuum up the floor near my computer - with all kinds of wires tangled around on the floor - specifically cat hair and fleas!!! - So I need something with a hose and...

Yes, this unit has a hose and attachment. I was very surprised at the great suction it has and I can you it will be more than adequate for what you described.

For hardwood stairs, I would purchase a dust brush attachment (at any vac store or online)--fits right onto the little hose of this vac, which is perfect for stairs. That's what I use mine for and, in addition, I use my dust brush attachment on my wood furniture.

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.

The long attachment comes off essentially leaving you with a dustbuster that has a round suction hole. I don't think you can buy a hose, but you might be able to rig something up with spare parts.

I would buy the Bissell Sweeper. It works really well, for in between clean up. It's great with the dog hair...am very pleased with it.

I find the suction to be wonderful! I have a dog, and 4 cats and it picks up everything they shed. Don't believe the recent competitor commercial that shows this white substance not being picked up by the machine! I have used it to pick up saw dust from indoor wood projects, glitter, and a host of dust like jobs!! It works very well. But you need to know your home's needs - if you have thick pile carpeting then a stick-vac (any stick-vac) may not suit your needs. :)

Hello, thank you for your question. It does not come with a hose but it has a detachable vacuum canister which you can use for tight corners and under tables (hard to reach areas). I hope this helps!

If you mean attachments, yes. There are three attachments, one a crevice tool, one is an upholstery tool, and one is a dusting tool. There is a carrier for them that can attach to either the handle part of the hose or at the bottom by the actual canister. I don't personally use the carrier, but it would be handy for someone in a large house.

A hand-held vacuum with round head hose would work. I use Eureka EasyClean Corded Hand-Held Vacuum, 71B. (Amazon $37.99)

As mentioned, using the hose and attachments work fine. However, moving a canister vacuum around bare floors is much easier and nothing gets blown around. If you have mostly bare floors you want a canister, if you have most carpet, you need an upright. In a pinch though this upright can be used for bare floors.

No accessories...just the vacuum and the charger and a hanger for hanging the vacuum on. Let me add, that altho. there are drawbacks to this little machine, such as 1. you have to continuouslyhold down the trigger while using....and 2. It does not do well on high pile carpets AT ALL...Berber or thin carpets, fine, plush no way...In spite of that, for your hard surfaces it is fabulous....also for cobwebs overhead that you can't reach...I have 3 dogs and 3 cats, have to use a Hoover on my area rugs, but my wood floors, the pet hair is great...it's got a dust bunny sucked up 3 inches before you get to it. This is what I call my everyday pickerupper...once a week the heavy duty cleaner comes out...but I ALWAYS reach for it for my wood floor areas.

No, I would contact Bissell regarding self propelling vacuums. I think that is a very good option for the future and I know I would be interested in that as well. I once borrowed the robo vacuum and had to empty it every 5 minutes. It needed rescuing all the time.

I am currently not using anything that didn't come with it. I did not mention one in my review "Gets everything out of the carpet. The cord winder is nice. Easy to maintain. Easy to use. Had it for a while now and still going strong!". That being said I'd use Hoover Extra Long WindTunnel Hose

There's an upholstery brush and a tool for narrow areas. They fall off all the time while vacuuming. You also can't pick up large crumbs like cereal without using the wand/hose.

Just a quick note - I have this Electrolux, hard wood floors, and a dog. I also have the Dyson "animal". I am STILL looking for a solution as neither of these do the job in spite of the expense and hype! If anyone out there has found a real solution - please share!
