Have one-you have to wrestle with it to use the hose-easier to bring the machine to the job and use the regular hose. | ||

Personally, I don't like stretch hoses or telescoping wands... Part of the reason I don't use my new Hoover Connie is the stretch hose and tele wands. (that and it blows cat hair every where). Most of the new uprights with onboard tools are horrible...why they can't just give you a regular hose, forget the stretchy things and let you vacuum in peace... Morgan | ||

Ah, but... Won't the Kirby have a much lower suction power than the Hoover Constellation? This would mean that the hose would have less chance of contracting implosively. | ||

I used it today in the bedroom and was able to leave the vacuum in the center of the room and dust all around without moving it. That works well for dusting since full suction and airflow isn't needed to pickup dust and dog hair. I haven't used it in the car yet. We'll see how it works there later today!

Bill, Chris & Kirby stretch hoses...
Hello & gm, All three (3) of the hoses have their purposes & draw-backs. European-style standard hose -- 7' European-style extended hose -- 12' Stretch-style extended hose -- 12' I have commercial customers who clean homes/business' & love the stretch hoses. However, they have to be replaced on a periodic basis as the 'durability' in not the same as the "Euro-style", & they know this, as I informed them of this before they purchased them. For above-the-floor cleaning (ie: ceiling fans) they are great, as well as for other areas. Durability is much better with the "Euro-style" hoses however. I prefer the 12' hose for cleaning of vehicles & areas where we have vaulted ceilings; & the 7' hose for most of the regular cleaning. I hope this info is of assistance. Cheers & hagd all, Bill Ps: Welcome Chris (see link below) (B4, were you: samotronic???) CLICK HERE TO GO TO a007kirbyman's LINK | ||
