16FT. VACUUM HOSE EXTENSION

does NOT fit "most" vacuums
The problem is the description of "fits most vacuums." Don't risk it, else you might be out shipping in BOTH direction, which will add up to about $19 (& for a $16 product). Not worth it cuz I think it will likely not fit a typical upright vacuum even with the included 3 adaptors & then you are stuck with a useless product or go thru the trouble AND spend $19 total on shipping ($7 non refundable ship charged to you & $12 to return via USPS with delivery confirmation). So bottom line is either you risk being stuck with a product un-useable to you for a total of $23 (includes $7 ship) or you spend $19 to return it & have nothing.

The product if it fits, looks like it is of decent quality for the price. The problem is you can't tell if it will fit, description doesn't help at all, but in fact leads you to believe it will "probably' fit your vacuum since it says "fits most vacuums" so it's a total risk. If it fits, it is probably worth the price, if not, you will be out...

Doesn't fit our Kirby
I've been searching for a hose extension for years and in spite of reading many negative reviews about hose/adapters not fitting purchaser's vacuum, I decided to take a chance anyway. Well, it's doesn't fit our Kirby and will be going back.

Very Impressive!
Ordered it at night and it arrived the next day in a very small box. I couldn't believe this hose could be so compact when not strectched out because it measures only about 4 feet long when scrunched up. But give it a tug and it stretches out very far, maybe 3 to 4 times its scrunched length. I don't know how long it gets, haven't measured it, but it works and gets plenty long. I bought it to extend my pellet stove vacuum so that I could leave the vacuum outdoors and stretch the hose in through the door and let the mini ashes, that always escape the filter, spread around my yard rather than in the house. So far so good. I simply attached it to the end of the ash vacuum hose with some packaging tape. Air flow seems good even with the extra length and it has no problem picking up the ashes.
