A little tricky to install but works like new! I was so close to throwing away my amazing little shark vacuum cleaner because it wasn't very expensive to begin with and had a good life. Before throwing the towel away, I decided to see if I could buy a tube (I've already tried the redneck tape method to plug the hole). I figured if I could try to fix it for $10 it would be worth it. . The vacuum cleaner works better than when new! High quality, durable hose that will last until the engine dies and I have to replace it!
