Handle end. Feels good in the hand - no sharp or rough edges. |

Suction regulator - Nice and tight, not so apt to move on it's own. Seals tight. I do admit missing the wheel (as original) though.... Rick |

I am glad to hear that you like that hose. I am going to get one for my 1205. I can't wait to get it, I have not had an electric hose for the 1205 since I moved. Several things went missing durring the move, including the hose port/bag access plate for my XXX. It will be good to have the 1205 back in regular service.
Thanks for the tip. Justin |

I bought the same hose for my Lux '89 except it had the plastic machine end, the type that is for the later models - 6500, diplomat, etc. I removed the plastic end and added the coupling with the pigtail from an original '89 hose. It works great. At first I had problems getting the sidekick to work but then realized I just was not pushing the hose far enough into the inlet. Works great now and what an increase in suction over the cloth hose.
