How long can the telescoping handle get? My husband is tall and had to bend over to use our old vacuum, hoping this one is better?

adequate - I am 5'8" - the cord is not long enough. You will find yourself constantly unplugging and finding new plug as you move through your living space. Tips over easily. Love the quality, and the efficiency. Great machine. Better than Dyson.

I just measured ours and the handle extends to over 4 feet from the floor. I am nearly 6 feet tall and there is plenty of extension left that I don't use. Doesn't seem like height would be a problem.

With the wand and black handle it is approximately 4 feet. I love this vac!!

Don't buy this piece of junk. You will forever hate yourself just like we are right now. We bought it thinking it was going to be the answer to our prayers but it is truly the work of the devil. My suggestion is, run as fast as you can the other direction.

I am sooo glad I ordered the extension. I am 5'6" and need it. The original handle is just not comfortable to use because it's too short.

They must have changed the design .. The model I have, the handle comes in three pieces that fit into each other. I've had other products that have telescoping handles, and they tightened or loosened by twisting them. Hope this might help.

The one I just bought has a slight angle about 6" from the end. This bend seems to allow you to spray a vertical surface without having to be too far back that the wand would be to heavy to support. It worked fine for me even at full extension but it is a bit difficult to control when fully extended.

When you search for the hose make sure it say "Button Lock". Here is a Amazon ASIN number for one of them B000GJER5O.If you put that number in the search bar it should bring it up. This one is 35 ft but there might be some 30 ft button locks also. I hope this helps.Vacuum Cleaner Market

I don't remember having a problem with the cord length - but the vacuum itself is a cheap piece of crap - I'd invest in something else and not waste your money.

i just purchased this machine late sept. read my posting on amazon dated oct 1st. (Wolffe )yes u r right about the attachments being not proper.anyways. i found that it i very easy to get a i inchunion from a old vacuum from a local vacuum store and attach the old extension hose. i have 16ft of hose now . hope this helps. specially when vacuuming thecar. sorry ia had no reason to read your post until now.

I have found the hose to be plenty long- to reach the corners of my ceiling with the attachment brushes and extension wand. Not sure how the length compares to larger, heavier models, but for this lighter weight model I feel like the designers made the hose plenty long. I don't want to haul around an extra long hose as I mainly use the vac for carpets / 98% of the time I don't use the hose.

I bought this vacuum for my husband as a gift and he loves everything about it. He had not ever picked it up, (just rolls it) so could not answer your question until we tried it yesterday. No problem!

Other answers gave you the dimensions of the attachment.It is made of heavy steel, and has performed well for me. I use a handle that is extendable 4-6 feet. I have other handles that go up to fourteen feet--but not for use with this tool.As mentioned in one of the responses, this all depends on the handle you buy as part of your system of attachments and handles. Over the last handful of years, I bought a wide range of heads (like this) and handles. I mix & match for each specific job.

I am not trying to be a jerk, with that said it's more than long, we never had an issue with the cord. I know it's not the best answer, but I can usually get two rooms done before un plugging the cord. I never thought about the length of it, I'll have to check that out. We are very happy with our Dyson

My vac is old. The hose does not fit. I had to modify it. Its a very long and cumbersome hose but i made it work.

Ya' know, I'm not that happy w/ this poll it turns out. When I push it, the telescoping collapses down too often and it's hard to twist-lock-it to where it doesn't. It IS a 1-3/16 opening to accommodate the 1-1/8 attachments; must be the standard size in the industry I would bet.

It doesn't have an actual handle but rather in the front underbelly of the vacuum a hollowed out space where your hand can fit and transport the vacuum around. I previously had a Bissell vacuum and prefer this vacuum to the Bissell. Hope that makes sense and is of help!

Unfortunately, this vacuum doesn't get any closer to edges than any other I've owned. One thing I will mention is that the vinyl covering on the handle wore off after only a few months. I decided not to notify Amazon about this as I didn't want to go through the hassle of returning it.

Sorry, I don't know those other vacuums. I like this one but unlike an earlier model, the hose connects in the center of the top and it makes it harder to drag it behind you. It over turns over .... darn.
