Cut off the ends and attach a modern vinyl hose blank for daily use, but if a hose looks good, I definitely keep it for display purposes. |

What companies do is for their own personal profit of their business and that sole purpose only. Just because they throw them out doesn't mean you have to. If you want to keep them for display and demonstration, that's your choice. Just remember, for every one that's thrown away, that's one less out there. Eventually there will be 0 and there will only be pictures in old advertisements.
Aftermarket hoses will never come close to the originals, both in terms of performance and appearance. Put any aftermarket hose with a period Electrolux and it will look like crap. My Electrolux Olympia has an aftermarket hose on it and it looks terrible compared to the original woven hose that would have been on it. |
