Review on Atrix 31671 10Ft Hose Compatible With Omega, Express & High Capacity Vacuums - Black by Brad Collins

This hose is made in USA by Atrix but is not identical to original hose. It is a bit longer and has similar appearance, stretch and flexibility. I would have been happy with it except I deducted one star because it has a strong chemical odor. I bought this HEPA vacuum because I have many allergies so I don't need another strong chemical smell in my house. I have put it outdoors and hope it will off gas and stop smelling in a few months. The original hose is still in excellent condition but I want be able to bring the new hose indoors so I can more double the length of the hose so I can keep the vacuum on the floor and still reach dusty areas.
