"...When the vacuum arrived there were some very minor kinks in the hose...." Read more
"...Also there are pinches in the hose where the hose buckled during shipment, which slows the flow and increases the pressure...." Read more
"...Size2. Pump3. LengthCons:1. The hose is not as flexible as I want. That usually means a lower quality of hose...." Read more
