How to Replace a Vacuum Hose on a Simplicity
The Simplicity vacuum cleaner is a canister-type vacuum that uses a hose to transfer the suction power from the motor to the handle that attaches to the brush assembly. You can replace the vacuum hose if it has developed a tear and so is losing suction. The procedure is straightforward and doesn't require the use of any tools. A replacement hose can be gotten from a Simplicity-authorized dealer at a hardware store that carries vacuum cleaner parts. Does this Spark an idea?

Rotate the Simplicity vacuum cleaner so that the front, sloping end is facing you. Grip the end of the hose adapter -- permanently attached to the vacuum hose -- that is inside the collar on the front of the vacuum cleaner.
