What extension hose are you using for this Vacuum? Hoover doesn't offer an official one

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

I am using the hose and attachments that came with the vacuum and they meet my needs perfectly. My house is not huge (2500 square feet) and I have not needed anything other than what came with the vacuum.

I use a hose from an old hoover to extend the reach on stairs. You can go to home depot and buy a shop vac hose it works just fine

The hose that is built in to this Hoover vaccum will stretch pretty far. It also comes with what I call a tube extension that will connect to this hose. I kept two similar extension tubes from my old Hoover and they can all be connected together and attached to the hose. I also discovered that the extension tubes that came with my Shop Vac will also work. The wind tunnel t series also comes with a long crevice tool that is handy. I also kept the dusting brush attachment from my old Hoover that will work with this one. Hope this helps.

they give one hard plastic extention hose to add to the spring hose. The spring hose on this vacuum sits extremely low and does not stretch to easily. Therefore when connecting the 1 extention piece to it, you still wind up bending over to use it. This is also the case if you add even the crevice tool to them. I am not even 5 ft and still have to bend. I have taken the 2 extention peices that came with my old hoover and they fit perfectly so that I do not have to bend over to use the hose.

I saved the attachments and hoses from my last vacuum. It doesn't fit perfectly but it's okay when vacuuming hard to reach areas.

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:)

I use the on board hose that came with the vacuum. It does not pull out easily and wants to go back to the storage position if not held firmly.

I don't know. I sent this hose back because it did not fit the Hoover I bought at the same time.

Be careful; there are different models of this vac extension. Mine came with a universal adapter, but some come with an adapter that only works with a few other tubes.Also, I must use a helper to use mine.

I am having the same problem, the attachments, once on the hose do a great job, but is such a pain! The hose is too short to be effective, and the "wand" is cumbersome. My only complaint about this vacuum.

I've had the same issue with a short in the hose in our vacuum. Hoover has a voluntary recall for the less costly model, S3755, because there is a short circuit in the hose that can cause electric shock or fire. I'm writing the Consumer Product Safety Commission to look into model S3765 for the same issue. I cannot believe the vacuum hoses are sourced from different vendors. I encourage you to contact Hoover about the recall and file an incident with the CPSC at saferproducts.gov.

Well, I didn't need to use an extension cord, but would imagine it should be alright to use one. I would use a good extension cord. I am very pleased with the Hoover L2310 performance.

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?

Sorry, I don't know the answer to that one. I've only used the Hoover brand.

I agree about an adapter WOULD have to be used. You might go to the Hoover web site and see if any information can be gotten from the site, or from them with an e-mail.

i just purchased this machine late sept. read my posting on amazon dated oct 1st. (Wolffe ) yes u r right about the attachments being not proper. anyways. i found that it i very easy to get a i inch union from a old vacuum from a local vacuum store and attach the old extension hose. i have 16ft of hose now . hope this helps. specially when vacuuming the car. sorry ia had no reason to read your post until now.

I use an adapter (ok, a cut down soda bottle and silicone tape) to use it with my Shark and Hoover and a 20' small diameter shop vac hose. Works great on my Sammy.

Hi,I do have the hose that you need, but it is not this one listed on this email. The hose that you need is Eureka part number 60289-1. I sure hope this helps you out. Vacuum Cleaner Market

I'm having the same problem . Don't know why . Just bought last year. Not happy with product, seems like the hose isn't long enough. Tried with regular vacuum hose and it worked a lot better but not great . Found it easier to just do it the old fashion way.

I doubt it, but don't know for sure. If you look up the Model UH70241 on the Hoover site and then check the tab for "Parts & Accessories" there is no mention of this specific model of hose (43434031). It does mention another upper hose assembly model on that Hoover "Parts & Accessories" site. So that suggests to me that the 43434031 model hose is not recommended for the UH70241 vacuum cleaner. But I have never tried it myself so I just can't be positive.

I used both the shop vac and house hold vac. The hose they send you does not fit well and is very hard to put together. I would not waste your money on it. I could have done the same thing this did using the hand tools from my regular vacuum cleaner.

Any kind will work with. I have the very old Hoover. My advice for you would be, if you don't have vac.yet, Buy an old one on craigslist just for this purpose.

sorry, i don't know but if i needed to find out, i would call Dyson, they can tell you. I have noticed that their attachments often don't fit different models.
