We have a spot cleaner that was a few years old and the clear hose was basically disintegrating after a couple of years and it was very brittle. Anyway, after it became mostly tape instead of hose, I decided to order this replacement which even says is an upgrade for the original. It looks and feels like it will last a bit longer and the material is far more flexible.
Installation is a bit tricky though having to manoeuvre some tight spaces and small niggly parts next to wiring but it is doable.
Works fine again!
