When I got the HF6, the vacuum & non-electric hose were actually boxed separately from the electric hose & powerhead. I'd assume Lindhaus does that since they sell a cheaper bare-floor only HF6 and didn't want to make the box bigger. Both hoses use the 1.25 in. fitting, so you have a lot of freedom with the attachments. The Wessel Werk Parquet brush pairs really well with this machine in my opinion.
