The hose assembly we purchased for our Kirby vacuum cleaner works like A charm. Based on our own experience, it is a high-quality part that has saved us from having to buy a new vacuum. The rubber hose is durable and long enough to reach all corners of our home. The only downside is that the price is a bit steep, but we believe it is worth the investment... Overall, we highly recommend this hose assembly to anyone looking for a reliable replacement part for their Kirby vacuum in their Home and Kitchen..
