"Where to get an extension hose"
This is a great hand vacuum. It's a little heavy and unwieldy for a hand vac, but the suction is very good as is the construction and design. As others have mentioned, the hose is a little short. So I went looking for an extension hose and found the perfect fit in the Electrolux Automotive Vacuum Kit KIT01N. This kit comes with a 5 foot extension hose, plus one crevice tool, one wide nozzle, and an adapter. But you don't even need the adapter. The hose fits perfectly on the Eureka as is. Now with the hose attached, I can set the vacuum on the floor while cleaning areas of my home that are eye level or even higher.

The Electrolux kit really adds to the functionality of this little Eureka. The on-board crevice tool does fit the extension hose too, but you can also use one of the two attachment tools that come with the auto kit. In fact, since the Eureka's on-board hose as well as the Electrolux extension hose use standard size vacuum fittings, you can use any standard size vacuum attachment with them. That's a thoughtful design decision by Eureka that just adds immensely to the versatility of this little vac. Right now the Electrolux kit is being sold at uBid for just $15 with free shipping. It's a great deal that might not last long. So snap one up if you want to get even more out of your Eureka hand vac. (Note: the pictures accompanying the Electrolux KIT01N on many websites show a small turbo brush, but this kit does not include that ... just the crevice and wide nozzle tools.)

"I really like this one, but..."
I really do like this vacuum. I bought it when we lived in a 3-story townhouse with our 8 cats. It made vacuuming the multitude of stairs so much easier. I like it so much I bought one for my sister. But I really wish it had a brush attachment. When you're sitting on the stairs vacuuming you're so close to the moulding you can't ignore the hair/dust resting upon it. The crevice tool gets some of it, but not all. A brush would make this vac perfect. BTW, don't use it to vacuum sheet rock dust as my husband did BEFORE I knew what he was doing. Hopefully a new filter will help the suction. ;o)

"Handy"
Product is quite handy in sucking up cat fur that seems to be everywhere this summer.

"Absolutely awesome!"
Absolutely awesome vacuum. Small, convenient, gets into all the nooks and crannies, and it even looks cool.

"This vacuum sucks! In a good way..."
Dang this little puppy sucks up more dirt than our regular vacuum! I have never seen such performance out of a hand-held vacuum before. The stairs are easy to clean now and I am looking forward to using it on my car.

While using the hose, my husband kept having his shirt sucked into it!

Very heavy duty construction on this, and the front of of has a little sliding door to change the angle of suction from beneath the vacuum to the side, so that when you're cleaning stairs or upholstery you can hold it at a natural angle instead of having to tilt it. A crevice tool to attach to the hose is stashed on the back of the unit. There is a place for the cord to be wrapped around for storage.

I am very pleased with this purchase and I couldn't recommend it enough.
