I bought this hose to replace a broken Dyson hose. If I could I would give it 1 star, it was a waste of time with this hose. If the description says it's a replacement I would assume it's the same specs. It's not, the hose is 1 3/4 inches shorter than the Dyson, doesn't matter as long as you don't lengthen the hose. The extended Envirocare hose is 37 inches SHORTER than the Dyson which is a deal breaker for me. It makes a HUGE difference when I vacuum the stairs. I wish one of the previous reviews said so, I wouldn't waste my time buying this hose. DO NOT buy this hose, I'd rather pay for a real bargain than buy a cheap fake.
