I buy this to replace another Eureka Boss Vacume cleaner , that finally wear out . it be very similar but the vacume hose be much shorter on this new one . I be estimate it at 5 foot but I believe Eureka state it be longer . I replace the vacume hose on my old Eureka twice so I know this one will break\/tear also at the noozle . I have already order the extended 15 foot vacume hose to replace the short hose one on the new one . would recommend anyone buying this vacume cleaner to also buy the 15 foot extend hose at the same time . with that say , the vacume cleaner perform well , especially on carpet . it be noisy but most vacume cleaner be . I like this new one . have always have Eureka cleaner and be happy with they . give it three star because the hose be just too short on it . buy the 15 foot extension and you have a great cleaner .
