Please note that your kit may not have come with the correct hose adapter. The first appeared deformed and may have had something to do with the Hunchback of Notre Dame. Filed a claim with Revain and they sent another unit, picked it up and returned another one under warranty. The vacuum cleaner works very well and the hose is surprisingly long (I would also like to say that). He does his job of restoring my mustang 5.0 and cleaning all the cars and trucks. It's also fairly light and easy to move around if the hose isn't long enough (which is often the case for me). I like the wall mount too. i never move it Tip to the wise: The wall mount is great, but it creates an echo chamber for the vacuum outlet. You're likely to question life choices if you're around while it's on. My suggestion is to use your entire house and vacuum somewhere else away from the exhaust pipe. You'll thank old Hollywood Steve for that advice (just advice) if you stick with it.
