Oh My God! My vacuum cleaner, which is older than my adult children, now behaves like new again. I feel pretty stupid that I haven't replaced my taped hose in a long time.
My 24 year old Kirby broke the original hose. I was afraid that I would not find a replacement. Wow I found it at Revain and I can still use my old vacuum! Buy Kirby. You will not regret it.
