Hi
I assume by the hose you mean the plastic handle? I have seen these parts listed on ebay for around £6 for this model along with the extension tubes. I reckon £25 and you will be good to go until the actual cleaner dies, far cheaper than the Henry your considering with aerobrush which will come to about £125.

Having further inspected the telescopic tubes, I dont think they are the right ones. However a little research on your part and asking ebay sellers a few questions might prove to be useful in finding a new one.
Failing that maybe buying a cheap knackered Miele of a similar model to pinch the tubes might also be an option. | ||

You can also still get the Miele S5261 Cat and Dog if you wanted to spend £50 more: CLICK HERE TO GO TO madabouthoovers's LINK | ||

The Miele S4 handle and hose replacement will fit the S5 as well as the hose - they are the same.
The added nodes on the collar cuff of the hose shown (from espares) is intended for the clip on tool storer for the S4 model but doesn't interfere with the S5. The major difference with the commercial model is the added permanent bumper on the base of the Henry and the extra 12.5 metre cable. However Argos sell the domestic Henry model (without the base apron) for £109-00 with a 10 metre cable. It doesn't really matter on the cable length difference - if the Henry concerned has the long hose that's what you'll be pulling much of around the home - the Miele has a standard 1.8 metre hose. The two vacuums as you know aren't the same - whereas Henry offers big bagged performance, there's no where on the machine to store the cleaning tools and I think Miele's cleaning tools offer far better quality and versatility. End of the day Henry is really good but you have to compromise on the size, poor storage ability and the fact that he can't really be used on stairs unless you leave him at the bottom and use the long hose and tubes. Unlike Miele the tubes can be difficult to remove in a jiffy, too. Depending on the size of your home, it comes down to whether you want a longer cord and longer travel and willing to compromise on an older design. What you win as a bonus is the simplicity of Henry plus the bigger dust bag. I like both vacuums, both have their merits and both have their downsides. Henry is more practical and more durable, but also slightly more dated. You might not even require the main size turbo brush dependent on your carpet pile.
