Hose length

Relatively long roughly five to six foot hose gives plenty of reach inside a vehicle, so you can leave the canister mostly in place instead of dragging it around while cleaning.

Extra-long 12-ft hose greatly improves reach for stairs and above-floor jobs.

Long, flexible hose and included wand provide generous reach for above-floor cleaning.

A long 15 foot hose and wand system provides generous reach for stairs and above-floor areas, and the option to use the hose with or without the wand adds flexibility for detail cleaning; reviewers also note that the hose is long enough that the vacuum can usually stay in place while they pull it around.

Hose is praised as unusually long for a spot cleaner (about 6 feet in one written review), making it easier to leave the unit on the floor while cleaning couches, stairs, and car interiors; added reach improves maneuverability; reduces the need to constantly reposition the base.

Four foot stretch hose extends reach into footwells and tight gaps without needing to move the vacuum body much; several reviewers confirm about 4 ft while one test found practical stretch closer to ~3 ft.

Long overall reach (often cited ~33–35 feet end-to-end) makes it easier to clean multiple rooms, stairs, and above-floor areas without moving the canister constantly.

Reviews note that the Complete C3’s hose is notably long, giving ample reach for stairs and above-floor work and reducing how often you need to reposition the canister during cleaning.

An extendable hose providing up to about eleven feet of reach helps it access high shelves, curtains, and other distant above-floor spots from a stable base.

A roughly 6-foot hose provides enough reach to clean around furniture, stairs, and above-floor areas from a single outlet in most rooms, especially when paired with the extension wand.

The Classic C1’s hose is described as long enough for typical above-floor and around-room cleaning, though it is shorter than the hose supplied with the Complete C3.

The standard 2.2 meter hose on the Henry HVR160 is adequate for most cleaning and detailing, though some users find it only just reaches the middle seats in smaller cars and may prefer to add an aftermarket longer hose.

Hose reach is a pain point in at least one detailed critique, describing it as short and stiff (slinky-like), which can limit above-floor reach and cause the unit to tip when tugged.

The hose is somewhat short, which can limit reach when cleaning high shelves, tall stairs, or distant corners.

The relatively short hose limits reach for high shelves and deep spaces, making above-floor cleaning more challenging despite the Lift Away design.
