Wish I could say the same of the hose on my Windsor. Sigh. If I pull it too far the whole vacuum ends up on it's side. On the piece-o-crap Hoover the hose pops out of the recepticle before it can pull the vacuum over. Choose your poison I guess.
I'd like to see Maytag make a good quality canister with no frills, adult sized tools and a price that is competitive with a TOL Kenmore rather than the four figure price tags of Maytag's cousins from Simplicity and Riccar.
