except the least expensive hose should suffice. They have less rigidity and the suction power is used compressing the hose, rather than getting to the attachments. I learned this from experience. I returned the cheap hose the next day. |

Have you thought about the idea of getting an electric power nozzle hose capable of running an electric power nozzle?? It would still work with the Volt while also giving you flexibility in case it can work with other power nozzles in your vacuum collection of one's you get over time!
Just a thought!! You might like the flexibility on this floor to be able to try other power nozzles, including a full size Riccar power nozzle. You don't have that capability with the Hide-A-Hose system on your other floors. |

I'd definitely say to avoid the wire-reinforced. There's a great video on Youtube showing the huge airflow difference between wire and crushproof with a Baird meter to compare them.
I have a 45-foot low voltage crushproof Nutone hose. It's gray in color and I've had no issues with it. Before that, I had a standard non-voltage Plastiflex hose that wasn't bad. They both retain airflow from my Honeywell central vac very well, and they both power my Turbocat nozzle extremely well. CLICK HERE TO GO TO myles_v's LINK |
