Electrolux 060180 Central Vacuum Stretch Hose Kit



works as expected
Upon receipt, the 2 long extension plastic pipes picture near the bottom were not present. Called Amazon right away and they sent another one, this time a complete set and I sent back the original.
Works well with good suction. The cleaning attachment it comes with is not as wide as my original one it replaces so I have to make a few more passes but that's tolerable. Good pick up. Although it can stretch to long lengths, you have to exert a fair bit of pulling force. I feel more comfortable holding onto the flexible tube part just below the handle in one hand and the handle in the other and pulling, rather than pulling just the handle itself as it seems to be putting a lot of strain on the hose where it attaches to the handle - may or may not be able to handle it but don't want to take the chance. The room I'm using it for is small so not a big problem. I think it would be cumbersome to stretch it to several rooms though altho I do like how small it is when put away. For...

Scuff marks
Nice Idea, works well where there are no obstructions. However, if you need to go around a corner it will scuff up the wall/ edge of cabinet/ door frame or whatever. I need to buy a full length one for the times I need to get into the areas around the corner from my outlets.

Fits the bill
This vacuum accessory works great. The flexible hose is heavier than I expected, but works great. I wanted an extra central vacuum setup for the basement. This unit was much more reasonably priced than the original and works just as well as far as I am concerned. Very happy with this purchase.
