I just spent a fortune on E-bay the other day and I got Rainbow Scents, Rug Shampoo, and two new hoses one for my power nozzle and one for my other cleaning. It got me to thinking... What kind of hoses does everyone like? Do you like ones that control the entire vacuum or do you like ones with hand grips, do you like hoses that have both or do you just like ones that are just basic and standard?
I myself just like the basic and standard ones and thats pretty much what I bought. They are very similiar just a different darker color. For the power head the cord will just strap to the outside of the hose and plug directly into the unit and then I just change when I'm using the rest of the attachments. Then I have a third hose I use strictly for wet pickup and rug scrubbing. |

I like the basic older style, such as the Hoover Tuflex or the like. I also like having the control switch right at hand, incase I accidently pick something up Isometimes I can quickly shut off the vac before it gets stuck lol. I love my old Kenmore hose it has the best of both, The older style curved hand grip and the on/off/PN on/off control. |

With my Rainbow I just like the regular hoses that it came with. I have always found that hand grips like the newer models are more uncomfortable and switches seem to just get in the way sometimes. The late 80's early 90's the Kenmore hoses were good with the way they had the switches on the hose set up.

Plain old type grips, I hate all the gas pump/pistol grip stuff, especially the newer Lux with the plastic wands, ok for floor cleaning, but not worth beans for dusting, etc. |
