- For use with WindTunnel models: U5146-900, U5162-900, U5453-900, U5435-900, U6439-900, U6445-906, U6625-900, U6626-900, U6630-900, U6630-960, U6632-900, U6655-900, U6660-900
Extend the reach of your Hoover WindTunnel upright with this extra long wire-reinforced stretch hose. Its great for stairs and reaching into areas where you vacuum can’t go. The machine end is 1 1/2″ in diameter with two locking pins which hold it in the vacuum. Its attachment end is extra large to fit over the Hoover WindTunnel wands and attachments like the on-board hose does. This hose provides a 20′ total attachment reach. (Hose stretched to about 15′ plus two wands and the crevice tool.) This genuine Hoover hose is used instead of their on-board hose on most WindTunnel uprights that use paper bags and Hoover Bagless WindTunnel Self-Propelled uprights manufactured November 2002 or later. (The first four digits of your serial number show the month and year. See also Hoover’s Info Sheet.) If seeking an extra long hose for an earlier bagless one, you need the extension hose #43434073. This hose can also be attached to the on-board hose on the new Hoover WindTunnel Savvy, “Dual V” and “V2 Technology” uprights as an extension hose to provide a 27′ total attachment reach. This hose replaces a similar hose formerly known by part number 43434250. Similar Hoses: If you have a Hoover Bagless Windtunnel which is not Self Propelled nor in their Savvy, “Dual V” or “V2 Technology” series, then you need the #43434043 instead of this one.

Extension Hose? Yes and No…,
First of all, it was nearly impossible to get a definite answer from any source about hose compatibility with my vacuums (Hoover Tempo Widepath Upright Vacuum, Bagged, U5140-900). This hose does the trick.
While it does add length to the frustratingly short cord, I find the overall cost of the extension hose (half the cost of the vacuum?) to be too much. I also give a wag of the finger to the Hoover people for not having this part listed as a compatible part on their website.
The most annoying part of the overall design of this hose and the default hose is that there’s no way to lock the hose into place. Sometimes it will come loose when moving the hose around. The other major negative to this hose is that it is recoils too easily. In other words, it is impossible to stretch and get the full length of the hose without a) tipping over the vacuum or b) moving the vacuum around and causing it to suck stuff up, like its own power cord.
I know the hose only has one major design flaw and the vacuum itself has a few of the other flaws, but overall, I still prefer to have this hose instead of the regular one… just wish it wasn’t as expensive and would stretch without requiring tons of force.

|extension hose,
I had thought the hose would attach to the existing hose to “extend” it. Instead, the original hose must be removed and replaced with this one. Once I figured that out, it works fine. Now I can do the stairway without hauling the machine up the steps, which was the main reason for getting it. Because it is much longer than the original hose, it doesn’t “fit” as well on the back of the machine, but that is a minor difficulty.
