What if the hose for the vacuum cleaner has torn?

Virtually all vacuum cleaners (modern and not very) differ in their reliability and durability. Sooner or later, but everything ever breaks down. If the engine of your vacuum cleaner works, as before, but the unit has become worse vacuuming or does not draw in dust at all - this does not mean you have to rush into the department of home appliances. The whole reason is in the hose, since it is the hose for the vacuum cleaner that is its weak point, for the simple reason that it is most often subjected to various deformations (bends and twists).

As a rule, hoses for vacuum cleaners are torn in the places of the most frequent folds - near the handle of the holder or in the place of its fastening directly to the vacuum cleaner itself. In this case, the easiest way is to unscrew the hose, cut off the torn place, and then screw it back (on some models, for this, you will have to remove the plastic sleeves into which the hose is pasted, and then put everything back on the sealant). Of course, from this procedure it will be shorter by several centimeters, but for a while it will free you from having to buy a new vacuum cleaner. By the way, in this way it is possible to fix the hose with the power regulator located on the handle, in which two insulated electric wires are used as the spring of rigidity . Of course, they will also have to be shortened.

If the hose for the vacuum cleaner is damaged nearer to its middle, as a temporary measure it is possible to impose on this place a patch from the most common medical patch, and then wrap it with polyvinylchloride insulation. A more reliable option may be pulling on the damaged area of the rubber tube, cut off from the bicycle camera, whose ends for increased reliability should be planted on the Superglue.

In the latter case, it makes sense to think about buying a new hose, and not only because the hose with patches has, to put it mildly, an unpresentable appearance. There is a high probability that one damage will not end and most likely it will break every time in a new place. Today, the problem of "where to buy a hose for a vacuum cleaner" is not as acute as a few years ago. So - you are the most direct way to the store. The hose for the vacuum cleaner can be purchased either in specialized shops or ordered online. It may even be much more convenient and cheaper, and the choice will be greater.

Choosing a hose for a vacuum cleaner, first of all, it is necessary to pay attention to its flexibility. The more elastic it is, the less chance it will be broken again, and it will be much more convenient to vacuum it. Typically, the hoses are made of rubber or plastic, and for the strength of the inside weave a metal wire that acts as a stiffener. In addition, the corrugated hose has a larger margin of length. By the way, about the length - it should be remembered that the length of the hose is inversely proportional to the suction power. The longer the hose for the vacuum cleaner, the less power, and therefore the quality of cleaning is worse. Especially it is typical for built-in vacuum cleaners, whose hose length can reach 15 meters.

As for the price, it all depends on the manufacturer, but it is not a fundamental factor - the main thing is that the hose is suitable for your vacuum cleaner.
