This is not just a Dyson problem. I personally hate those stretch
hoses. While ago I bought a 6 meter (20 foot) hose for my Shark Rotator. It didn't help much. In fact it is heavy and same problem. It pulls vacuum back and most of the time whole vacuum tips over. It is extremely frustrating. Nowadays I just use Shark in the upright mode (when I use it). Canister vacuums are so much easier for tool use. In fact only upright I use nowadays is the Kirby Gsix. At least it has a normal hose what I can use without problems. |

I typically use my central vac for the hardwood floors and above the floor cleaning jobs but I do find the Shark Rotator Powered Lift Away a little easier to handle than the Dyson when it comes to tools. |

WARNING!
If you are a Canadian, don't bother trying to contact this company or order the kit online. I contacted them, & they WILL NOT ship to Canada. Also, although they state the hose kit will not fit a Dyson DC33, DC24 or the older models prior to the DC25, when I spoke to the man at the shop he did say they do have a separate kit available for the older Dyson's, so you just have to ask for it. Something tells me though the shop didn't make this kit themselves, though. My guess is they sourced a hose from another brand, like the extension hoses Panasonic & Riccar/Simplicity sell for their uprights, & modified it for the Dyson's. Rob |
