How long is the hose? Will I be able to do a staircase without carrying it half way up the stairs (13 steps)

You will be able to do most of the stairs, but the hose is not long enough to do the entire stairway--if it was it would be in your way every time you tried to vaccume the rest of your house. It will almost reach, just not quite.

Hello - I just measured the flexible hose and it is 75" plus the metal curved piece on the end which is another 18". Then there are the straight metal pieces, which together add another 36". So, depending on how many feet it is up your stairway, you have about 10 feet of length from the motor to the end of the entire hose/metal tube attachments to reach up. Worst case, you would have to do as many of the steps from the bottom that you can reach, then carry the vacuum up to the top, and do the rest from the top down. I am lucky - my house is all on one level, so no stairs to contend with. Hello - I just measured the flexible hose and it is 75" plus the metal curved piece on the end which is another 18".

No, it won't make it. I have 13 stairs (with fairly high risers), and I carry the vacuum either up or down to the halfway level to do the stairway.

No, however, you take the base off the water tank and move it half way up the staircase, this is a simple way and it is not that heavy to do.

I only need about 50 feet, and that works very well. I know the hose will stretch farther, but I don't know how much farther.

I said yes but it's NO!!!!!BUT! The problem is not the length it is the depth. The canister is 9 inches at its deepest end. I got out the measuring tape ...you will have to take apart the long solid attachment to the hose each time you store it and reassemble everything for each use. The canister measures about 18 inches max. The "wand" is "telescopic" so instead of breaking into 2 parts, it retracts into itself and can be detached from the hose and the "floor tool" if you do this, the wand is 24 inches long.

Hey Scott, I had to ask the same question. The hose is 48" long. Good quality and worked great for me.

The hose isnt very long..... However, it is very easy to add additional hose to the item as i did. Your local hardware store will have the hose you need, and its very simple to do.

I stretched it out to 10ft (and may have been able to go a bit further), plus the hose is already almost 2ft off the ground, so the reach is pretty good. It easily reaches my 8ft ceilings; even the peak of the living room at 10ft is easily reached.

Not sure - you can get a 5' extension sewer kit, and their 20' sewer hose pictured on Amazon looks like they joined 2 x 10'. While ours is the 15' one, you realistically only get 13' distance. Perhaps contact Camco themselves, since previous replies seem contracdictory.

The hose is pretty short ( about 3-4 ft) but is easy to detach and reattach to move. It's on wheels and moving it is simple. Mine has to sit directly in front of the sink. You can also buy longer hoses for it.

Hi, Mindy. The hose is 6' long as are most of the others I have seen. My wife is just slightly taller than you and she deals with it just fine.

With the hose and attachments the length is about six feet. The hose itself about two and a half feet.

It isn't very long. You can remove it from the base to clean, but not very far. The hose doesn't stretch much. It is good for nearby stuff, like the stairs if you carry the vacuum while using it, or reaching up to clean the exhaust fan in the bathrooms, but you have to hold the rest of the vacuum because the hose isn't too long or stretchy.

Mindy, it is in my other home, but if I remember correctly the hose is 5'. It may be a bit awkward for your intended use. Perhaps a grab bar mounted would suit you better.

Amber: It's about 5 ft unextended, up to about 10 ft extended. (This is for the 21 ft model.) Hope this helps. BTW, I'm very happy with the ladder. You should know that it is pretty heavy when compared with a regular, non-multipurpose step ladder. I carry it on my right shoulder without any problem. However, when compared to the equivalent Little Giant and the Werner ladders, it's a bit lighter (~5lbs). When I purchased it in April of this year, it was almost 50 dollars cheaper.

The hose is about 4 1/2 feet long. I have an over the door hanger that I use but because the hose is so short I can only use it for pants because there is not enough hose to reach the top of the shirt. So far it has not been a problem because the shirt hanger attached to the steamer is working out great.

I have 150 feet of 5/8 hose on mine and it will hold another 50 feet nicely. I bought my first one at ollies and love it so much I bought 2 more through amazon.

About 26 inches give or take . The wrapping on mine came undone first use and they don't allow big hits. I would recommend getting better made hoses . The hookah is lovely though.

5 feet of hose. But you can buy longer hose cheap at Home Depot if you need more.
