If that was the case, Benny, then ALL cylinder vacs in Hoover's price range as rivals would have tools clipped to the hose or under the handle - they do not.
Electrolux/AEG/Zanussi still produce the venerable cylinder vac that takes bags and has tools under a flap. Dirt Devil UK has a bagged cylinder model that has tools under a flap. Both of their models aren't as well built as Hoover, so there is really no excuse.
