I was happy to find a really long hose extender but disappointed that it didn't fit my Kenmore vacuum. My husband and I sat down with all the details and tried to come up with a workable solution, even attempting to bypass the Kenmore hose entirely. But the crux of the matter was that the power supply (on/off) was controlled at the Kenmore hose. In desperation, we pulled out the Shop Vac and were able to use one of the included fittings on this hose. So I was disappointed that I couldn't use it on Kenmore, but glad I could use my husband's Shop Vac (he may not have been keen on it).
