What mechanism is used to secure the hose to the canister? Does the hose lock onto the canister--so it can't simply yank out when tugged?

It is positioned underneath the left shelf on the bar between the wheels. There are grooves in the bar for the bottom of the canister and a clamp to hold it at the top. Once you tighten the clamp at the top, it is secure.

I do not think the hose detaches. I have not tried it and there is no quick release I can see. Hope this helps.

There is a release button on the top of the canister that you press and lift the canister off the vac. Then there is another button at the bottom of the canister unit that looks just like the release button. Press it while holding it over a trash can and the content should fall out.

The hose screw into the bonnet so it does not fall out. You can move to the extent of the length of the hose.

You can use the sleeve adapter the connect it with the OEM hose attached to canister. Connecting the canister requires a clip lock on the hose which this doesn't have.

Are you pushing down on the grey button on top of the vacuume cleaner beside the handle? You have to push the button down, then pull the canister out. The top fits more snug than the last one I had. I have to hold the canister between my knees, then turn the top and pull it up. I'm hoping it will get easier the more times I do it! Hope this information is helpful :0)

It's a plastic hose. I wouldn't think that the hose would collapse during vacuuming air out.

As mentioned, using the hose and attachments work fine. However, moving a canister vacuum around bare floors is much easier and nothing gets blown around. If you have mostly bare floors you want a canister, if you have most carpet, you need an upright. In a pinch though this upright can be used for bare floors.

No, the floor brush never has fallen off. I've had several canister vacuums over the years and never, ever, have I had that problem. Yours must be defective or else that particular make and model is defective. Hope this helps.

This has a magnet, too, and a large weight on the hose. You do have to keep the undersink area clear so the hose has room to retract, line any other of this type.

Of all the ones I gave tried this is the heaviest, and most sturdy, I don't know if it shows when I first posted, but it is still going strong and functional on a daily basis. For the most part no it doesn't pull away. You have to pull the amount of hose you want out then it won't move. I have seen people post about securing it to a wooden deck, mine just sits on a rock slab.

Yes, the hose is detachable, and if those are standard sized then it is completely capable of sucking the air out of a space bag. This is a great vacuum for the money.

Yep, it pulls off the end of the hose especially when your kids are helping you pump it up. But it is solidly attached it doesn't come off while in use unless you want it to.

Once the clips are undone, it should be a hand twist. Keep a bucket underneath, because a bit of water will spill when the canister is opened.

You need to tighten the two Philips screws which secure the handle to the body. It shouldn't detach as long as it's screwed properly. The left side of the back of the vacuum has a clear looking port for one end of the hose, the wider end. The gray part on the hose attaches to that port and you screw it to the right to secure it. The other end of the hose (narrower black end) gets wrapped around the back of the vacuum (there's a little "arm" like thing that it loops over) and then stuck into the hole on the bottom right of the back. When you want to use the hose you take that end out and stick any attachments onto it.

No the wheels do not lock. There is a place to put your foot to hold it in place while reeling in the hose though.
