Since the storage bin is on top, how do you reach into the hose area in case there is a hose winding issue ?

The storage bin lifts out. It's that easy and the best hose box I've ever bought.

The storage bin on top is simply a lift out tray. Take it out and you have access to the hose area.

The storage bin is removable. You have to remove it in order to attach the hose to the reel.

Like any compressor, the hose will always fly out unless you hold it. Hold hose end in one hand and disengage with the other

Adjust the position of the hose weight per the instructions. That should fix it.

That will not be a problem. It is more likely to tip, or slide. when you pull the hose OUT of the cabinet. There are stakes you can hammer into the ground, thru stakeholes, for outdoors, when sitting on ground. i've have one that is sitting on pebbled concrete, and have no problem with it. Winding up is definitely not a problem, as long as the hose is straight and uncoiled, when you initiate rewind the mechanism. SLow and steady she goes.

Use the "Upper Drain Port" in the middle of the back of the unit. See my review dated 7/22/2014 for list of inexpensive parts to hook up a drain hose.

Hi Jim, I made my hoses going to and from the DD long enough so that I could snap the suction unit with out a problem. Yhat is the only solution I have to you query. Good Luck.

No, not that I can figure out. There is no place to plug in the hose. As far as I can tell, this works only with the special bags.

The hose screw into the bonnet so it does not fall out. You can move to the extent of the length of the hose.

There is a lever where the hose meet the canister, you just have to put your firgers there and pull up. You will see all the pieces over there.

My answer is to find the best permanent place for the outside unit. It's always best to leave the sealed system connected unless there is no option except to move it. And, I agree with other answers. The unit is designed for lubrication of the compressor to be in its upright position.

Place a zip tie around the hose and the connector and tighten it down to stop the leaks. Be sure the hose is all the way on before using the zip tie.

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

Its not designed for it but you could wire the hose up and out the top of the main storage compartment.

Diane, I never had that problem, but the first thing I would do is empty the canister to gain 100% suction and then cup your hand over the hose to attempt to pull the cloth to the bin. If that fails, I guess you would need to call for a repair, as if the cloth is stuck, you have something much larger in the pipe and they will need to snake it out. Good luck!

It has a reel in the middle to wind the hose up. I haven't looked in there for a while but I think that there is a bottom. Maybe someone else can help there.

Pull from the bottom, it takes quite a bit of force so be careful not to tug the front I/O cables.

sometimes something blocks the hose-you need to check alignment once4 in a while
