That kit should have come with the R25 vacuum. The stretch hose is useless when cleaning upholstery & the brush/upholstery tool that came with the machine is absolutely awful.
I've test drove one at home and I'm thinking about getting the R25P. The hose was perfectly fine imo. What was wrong with it? I will agree on the brush. Could be much better.
@@ZaneWulf the issue is that the stretch hose shrinks to is shortest length the moment that you put the attachment of a piece of furniture, it either pulls the hose from your hand or pulls the machine to you.... So leaving no reach. It's only good if you want to vacuum cob webs from high corners where there is no restriction to suction.
@@ZaneWulf that kinda defeats the purpose of having good suction. My Kirby that this machine replaced had a properly designed non-stretch house, so there never was a problem.
I had this kit, and the hose is awful. It doesn’t swivel leading to tangles. It’s a narrow diameter, wire-reinforced construction cuts off the R25’s wonderful airflow, making it useless. At $193, It has no business being sold as an accessory to a premium machine. Get the TCA-15 kit instead for $137.
I have an R25D....not sure that I'd call it a 'premium' machine. It's mediocre at best. And this tool kit can't be any worse than the non-standard sized crap that was included with the machine.
