So I'm looking for a new central vac hose - non electric - either with the low voltage switch or even the plain old fashioned kinds that turn the vac on when you plug it in.
I've found a bunch of good looking deals online, but the details about the hose construction are usually lacking. I want to make sure I get one that is 1 3/8" interior diameter, smooth bore, etc. And, of course, I don't want to pay a fortune.
Also, I want a chromed end that is friction fit, not button lock.
Anyone have experience with any of these?

(ps - anyone know the difference between the above 2? Is performance taper as good for airflow as 1 3/8" hoses?)
Thanks!
