How long is the hose? I read a review that indicated the hose wasn't long enough to use with a home vacuum w/o difficulty. Is there a longer one ?

I got a small vacuum (about $20) and sit it on the counter, and it works fine.

The clear vinyl hose between the tip handle and the adapter to the vacuum cleaner is about 3ft in length. This is the kit with the vacuum. If this is to short, take the hose to a home improvement store. Just match the size, most stores cut to order. Probably less than dollar per foot. I have been using mine for months now. I have had great results. I have had no problems with hose length. It is the best purchases I have made in a long time. Well worth the purchase price.

I think the cord seemed long enough, but I have mine on a hand held vacuum. I couldn't tell you precise length.

My wife uses it, she's 5'6" and said she doesn't even extend the handle to its' maximum length ... and she loves the vacuum and raves about vacuum power, very highly recommended, after using for 2 weeks.

My wife and I have had the vacuum for about four months and we use it nearly every day. The extended cord is about 8 feet in length and we have not had any problems. Be careful rewinding the cord since the spring in the vacuum is "vigorous" and will snap the plug-end of the cord is you are not careful.

I found this review online and copied it for you: As others have mentioned, the hose is a little short. So I went looking for an extension hose and found the perfect fit in the Electrolux Automotive Vacuum Kit KIT01N. This kit comes with a 5 foot extension hose, plus one crevice tool, one wide nozzle, and an adapter. But you don't even need the adapter. The hose fits perfectly on the Eureka as is. Now with the hose attached, I can set the vacuum on the floor while cleaning areas of my home that are eye level or even higher. The Electrolux kit really adds to the functionality of this little Eureka. The on-board crevice tool does fit the extension hose too, but you can also use one of the two attachment tools that come with the auto kit. In fact, since the Eureka's on-board hose as well as the Electrolux extension hose use standard size vacuum fittings, you can use any standard size vacuum attachment with them. That's a thoughtful design decision by Eureka that just adds immensely to the versatility of this little vac. Right now the Electrolux kit is being sold at uBid for just $15 with free shipping. It's a great deal that might not last long. So snap one up if you want to get even more out of your Eureka hand vac. (Note: the pictures accompanying the Electrolux KIT01N on many websites show a small turbo brush, but this kit does not include that ... just the crevice and wide nozzle tools.)

Sorry, I don't know those other vacuums. I like this one but unlike an earlier model, the hose connects in the center of the top and it makes it harder to drag it behind you. It over turns over .... darn.

I believe it's 20 feet when extended. And I agree with the previous poster that it stays attached to the vacuum much better than the original hose.

Not sure about the brush, as I use an old one that came with a previous vacuum. As for the extension hose, the Eureka 15' universal fit flexible extender hose fits perfectly. Eureka 15' Universal Fit Flexible Extension Hose I use mine to clean the car and dust around the house. The first few times I had to hold the vacuum while I dusted, a bit of pain considering how short the hose is. With the extender hose I can put it on the floor and go about my dusting. Much easier to get the ceiling fans with the longer hose.

I just checked the manual. There is no area to hook up a vacuum hose. Sorry.

The hose with connector is about 5ft. long. This is a negative -The connector is also metric , so it is not easy to find an extension hose from HD or other home centers. I tried several Home Centers , with no luck. I was referred to a local propane and gas company - they can convert the connection. I called Napoleon - they do not offer a longer hose.

Not quite sure of the exact length (maybe 7 feet?), but the wand is quite long and has a downward curve toward the floor (I.e., it's not a straight wand as on consumer vacuums). The length is not adjustable. Tall people will have absolutely no issues with the wand length. For shorter people, it may feel a little awkward, but the performance of the vacuum, which is amazing, makes up for it. ON EDIT: The wand is actually about 5 or so feet in vertical height and probably around 6 feet or so in total length, including the curve.

In my experience, Hozons are tricky. I don't know about the length of the hose, but they clog up all the time. The current one worked twice. Also it never worked with my adjustable handle. I had to use a short one. I have a friend who has combined 2 and has a hose longer than 50 feet. Good luck. That's what you need with one of those.

It's a proprietary air hose so you should contact John at IQ to see if he can do something longer. The hose might be a foot or so?

You can use it with a regular vacuum if your hose is 1.25 to 1.50 inches in diameter. The advantage is convenience. No need to drag your vacuum to the bathroom, just store it there. Good results I recommend it!

I agree with canon chick, hose too short, vacuum too heavy. It's a great vacuum, but not for stairs in my book.

The hose is 30 feet long. Plenty of reach. You don't move the vac. because it mounts on the wall.

I'm sorry,but I haven't used the hose. I bought my Kirby refurbished and when I had a question, I called the business that refurbished the vac. They were great. Answered quickly, made suggestions and solved my problem. Try calling whoever sold yours.
