My 35ft hose didn't reach the other side of several rooms because when the house was built someone who never vacuumed must have decided where to place the plumbing in the walls. They put them in closets! So you have to route cables and hoses under/around doors, walls, etc. and lose about 10 feet of length in the process. This hose solves that problem, now I can go anywhere with a vacuum cleaner.
