A long hose and wand (15 feet cited in reviews) enables above-floor cleaning and helps reach stairs and furniture. Reviewers often highlight this reach as a practical advantage versus typical uprights.
The hose is repeatedly called long for the category, most often cited as 9 ft and sometimes described as roughly 10 ft, which noticeably improves reach for stairs and upholstery cleaning.
Reach is a strong point, with reviewers citing hoses and wands in the 13 to 15 foot range or multi-meter extension. Multiple users also report the stretch hose can feel stiff and pull back, so the usable reach can be less pleasant than the spec suggests.
Reach is a standout: multiple reviewers cite a 6‑ft hose, and one calls it longer than most spot cleaners, letting the machine stay on the floor while you clean couches, stairs, or car interiors.
Hose and wand reach is repeatedly described as long, supporting above-floor tasks and helping avoid hauling the canister up stairs. It contributes meaningfully to whole-home coverage from a single outlet.
The hose is generally long enough for above-floor reach, and several reviewers appreciate being able to clean ceilings, corners, and tight spaces without moving the canister constantly.
The retractable hose is repeatedly cited as the product’s defining advantage, often described as reaching up to about 4 feet, though at least one hands-on tester measured closer to around 3 feet. Either way, it enables cleaning tight areas while the main unit stays parked nearby.
Hose length and hose design get positive remarks, including descriptions of generous reach and durable/crush-proof construction in multiple discussions.
Hose and wand reach are frequently praised for above-floor work (stairs, corners, behind furniture), though one reviewer notes the wand/tube can feel narrow for larger items.
Hose reach is highlighted as a meaningful benefit, with multiple mentions of long stretch (roughly 5–6 feet depending on the reviewer). Lack of swivel is noted in at least one review as a minor handling limitation.
Hose reach is a standout on certain variants (up to ~12 ft), but other models feel shorter in practice and can contribute to tip‑overs during above-floor cleaning.
The hose is described as long and helpful for reach and above-floor jobs. Still, multiple reviewers mention that a full staircase may require repositioning the canister or buying a longer hose.
Reach is a frequent theme: some are happy with the wand/hose extension for corners and drapes, while others say the permanently attached hose feels too short and can tug the vacuum toward them.
Most reviews state there is no hose on the standard model, so hose length is effectively not applicable there; one review describes a different PowerDash variant with a longer hose for spot cleaning.
Hose length is typically reported as adequate for stairs and spot work (often around 8 ft, with some models closer to 10 ft). For larger staircases, users may still need to reposition or carry the machine.
The hose is commonly cited around ~2.2m: enough for stairs and cars, but a few users wish it were longer for reaching the far side of larger vehicles or awkward areas (aftermarket options exist).
The hose length is commonly described as 8 feet and is treated as sufficient for stairs and upholstery spot cleaning. It is not a room-spanning hose, but it supports practical above-floor work without moving the whole unit constantly.
Hose reach is described as long and helpful for furniture and stairs, and it stores on the unit for convenience. One measured test cited about a 6-foot hose as slightly shorter than average, but still workable for spot tasks.
Hose reach is generally praised as generous for above-floor work and stairs, though some US buyers note the hose is closer to ~8ft and marketing claims can be inconsistent by listing/version.
The extendable hose and wand are valued for reaching ceilings, blinds, and above-floor areas. Some users dispute the advertised reach, say the wand feels too long, or note the base can tip when the hose is pulled taut.
Hose length is described as adequate for car use (commonly cited around 6 feet; one reviewer estimates roughly 5–6 feet). Swiveling ends are highlighted as a meaningful usability upgrade.
In comparisons, the hose on the 600 series is described as slightly longer; the 400 series is still presented as flexible and effective but not the longest in the lineup.
Hose length is generally considered adequate for above-floor work, but at least one detailed review calls it a limiting factor at around the ~6‑foot range for certain tasks. Extension tools can help if you do lots of high dusting.
Hose length feedback is mixed; some mention decent above-floor reach (sometimes cited as ~7 ft in certain versions) while others describe the hose as short for the category.
The hose is often listed around 5.5 ft and is adequate for many stair and above-floor tasks. Some reviewers still wish it were longer, and one technician critic describes it as very short in practice.
Above-floor reach is mixed: some variants have a useful hose length for stairs and upholstery, while others describe the hose as short for high shelves or tall furniture.
Hose length/behavior is inconsistent across sources. Some mention long reach, while a technician-style review calls the hose short, stiff, and prone to tipping/pulling the unit, which can hurt real-world above-floor ergonomics.
Hose impressions vary: some describe it as long and flexible enough to give good control, while others call it short and wish for more reach (especially with no extension tube).
Hose reach is a recurring nit: a few reviewers say the hose feels short or stiff, which can affect reach for taller users or reduce how far you can clean before pulling the canister along.
Hose reach is often described as serviceable but not generous; multiple reviewers compare it unfavorably to higher-end Kenmore models and wish for an extra foot or two.
Hose/wand reach is a common nit: multiple writeups mention wishing the hose were longer or the wand had more reach, which can limit above-floor range compared with some alternatives.
Hose length is a frequent complaint: multiple reviewers describe it as short and not very extendable, making high-reach cleaning harder without moving the base. The lift-away pod helps compensate but shifts the burden to carrying the pod during above-floor cleaning.
Hose reach is repeatedly criticized as short, limiting high-reach tasks (stairs, ceilings, tall shelving). It works for quick spot jobs, but it’s not an ideal ‘whole-house above-floor’ setup.
Hose reach is a common complaint in at least one lab review, and specs cited elsewhere put it around the mid-single-digit feet range. It works for stairs and upholstery, but tall ceiling corners may feel limiting.
Hose length is one of the most frequent negatives: users describe it as short or tight, making baseboards, stairs, and high areas more awkward and sometimes pulling the unit over. A few also report hose durability issues such as tearing or disconnecting.
Hose durability is specifically criticized in one report that mentions cracking and snapping, suggesting the hose can be a weak point if stressed or used heavily.
