Almost all vacuum cleaners (modern and not so) are distinguished by their reliability and durability. Sooner or later, but everything will ever break. If the engine of your vacuum cleaner is working as before, but the unit has become worse to vacuum or does not draw dust at all - this does not mean that you need to rush into the department of household appliances. The whole reason is in the hose, since the hose for the vacuum cleaner is its weak point for the simple reason that it most often undergoes various deformations (bending and twisting).
As a rule, hoses for vacuum cleaners are torn in places of the most frequent bends - near the handle of the holder or in the place of its attachment directly to the vacuum cleaner itself. In this case, the easiest way is to unscrew the hose, cut off the torn place, and then screw it back (on some models, you will have to remove the plastic sleeves into which the hose is glued, and then put everything back on the sealant). Of course, from this procedure it will become shorter by a few centimeters, but for a while it will free you from the need to buy a new vacuum cleaner. By the way, in this way you can fix the hose with a power regulator located on the handle, in which two insulated electric wires are used as a
stiffness spring . Naturally, they will also have to be shortened.
If the hose for the vacuum cleaner is damaged closer to its middle, as a temporary measure, you can put a patch on this place from the most common medical plaster, and then wrap it with PVC insulation. A more reliable option may be pulling on a damaged area of a rubber tube cut off from a bicycle chamber, the ends of which should be put on Superglue for increased reliability.
In the latter case, it makes sense to think about purchasing a new hose, and not only for the reason that the patch hose has, to put it mildly, an unpresentable appearance. There is a high probability that this damage will not end with one damage and, most likely, it will break every time in a new place. Today the problem of "where to buy a hose for a vacuum cleaner" is not as acute as a few years ago. And therefore - you have the most direct road to the store. A hose for a vacuum cleaner can be purchased either at specialized stores or ordered online. It may even be much more convenient and cheaper, and there will be more choices.
When choosing a hose for a vacuum cleaner, first of all, you need to pay attention to its flexibility. The more flexible it is, the less likely it is to break again, and it will be much more convenient to vacuum it. Typically, hoses are made of rubber or plastic, and for strength, a metal wire is woven into the inside, acting as stiffeners. In addition, the corrugated hose has a larger margin of length. By the way, about the length - it should be remembered that the length of the hose is inversely proportional to the suction power. The longer the hose for the vacuum cleaner, the less power, and, therefore, the worse the cleaning quality. This is especially true for built-in vacuum cleaners, the hose length of which can reach 15 meters.
As for the price, it all depends on the manufacturer, but it is not a fundamental factor - the main thing is that the hose is suitable specifically for your vacuum cleaner.
