I spent a few minutes in the vacuum department at Sears the other day - you can't help it, they put it right by the door - and I was pretty impressed with their offerings in canisters and (bagged) uprights. The only thing I don't like about the Sears canisters is that the hose doesn't swivel in the wand or machine ends. After a long bout of vacuuming, the hose tends to get twisted around itself. Why have they never fixed this? Everyone else seems to have figured it out...

It's the wand-end of the hose that needs to swivel, IMHO. I've used lots of Sears vacs over the years in client's homes and always ended up with a knot in the hose after a few rooms. The machine-end of the hose you linked to looks like it might swivel, which would help a lot. Many of the KM vacs I've used had a swivel at the machine end, but it wasn't a completely free movement - it stopped at 6 o'clock and then had to go back the other direction. Hopefully that's figured out, now for the business end of the hose!
