Eureka 15' Universal Fit Flexible Extension Hose

Not impressed--far less than I expected
This Eureka 15' Universal Fit Flexible Extension Hose is not anywhere near 15 usable feet. Laid out on the floor it measures 7 ft. Maybe it stretches to 15 with two people pulling strongly, but it pulls over my canister vacuum at about the 6th step on a staircase. "Universal Fit" is simply silly. There are no adapters supplied, so any clips, bumps, nubbies etc. simply get in the way. It fits only a standard friction fit. The tiny photo is misleading since you cannot see where the vacuum cleaner hose ends and joins to this extension. Do I need three of them to do my staircase? The hose is too short. The hose does not fit all my accessories.

Every vacuum should come with one of these!
I didn't even know these hose extensions existed until I tore the hose that came with my Eureka Boss vacuum. I continued using it (by pinching the hole closed manually) until it ripped in a second place rendering the hose ineffective. I use the hose on my vacuum quite often and I put a lot of stress on it and I was ALWAYS frustrated by the paltry length when doing high up jobs and stairs. When looking for a longer replacement hose (doesn't exist) I stumbled across this item. I didn't buy it via Amazon and I have had it for a long time now. It is perfect for what I need it for. As mentioned by another reviewer, the hose is shorter than advertised - a bit over 10 feet total when I measured it. It is "elastic" in a sense but you would have to pull it tight to get any extra length out of it but that would require 2 people and a lot of effort so plan on about 10+ feet only. I personally don't care. This hose has improved my vacuuming experience immensely. I am able to attach the...

Not As Shown
I returned this item to Amazon for a refund. The hose is NOT 15 feet as stated in the description. Another reviewer has also confirmed this. The hose is only about 7 feet. If you really want to stretch the hose you may get 8 feet. The hose came in a plain cardboard box with packing material, NOT the Eureka box as pictured.

This hose may have gotten more stars if the description was not deceptive and I had actually used it. For the above reasons it gets one star.

I ended up ordering the "real" 15 foot hose directly from Eureka. This is my second one from Eureka. The hose is overpriced, but I knew what I was getting.
