Re: vacuum cleaner question
I'd say that's how long the hose reached out the back?

Re: vacuum cleaner question
I would assume it's for the 'stairs' attachment - that you can pull out and stretch...
Edit : or maybe it's how tall you have to be to reach the handle

Re: vacuum cleaner question
Either the length of the hose OR the length of the hose PLUS that of the mains cable, but I'd have thought the former - you can always use a mains cable extension.

Re: vacuum cleaner question
Some sucker will know the correct answer, assuming that it has not already been given,

Re: vacuum cleaner question
I would have said that the 'reach' is the distance from the body of the hoover to the end of it's hose but 30ft seems a bit excessive, so it must be including the cable length as well in that figure.

Re: vacuum cleaner question
Is it the angle of the handle you hold.
Or the maximum distance it can suck stuff up at ?

Re: vacuum cleaner question
I think it's the total reach of pipe and cable (although I could be wrong  ). I base that entirely on the fact the ours can be plugged in in the living room and will stretch all the way to the top of the stairs.

Re: vacuum cleaner question
and the correct answer is , the length off the cable and hose together , not much use when the hose only reached halfway up the stairs  , anyway i was expecting a stand up argument at comet , but they agreed the box was misleading and gave a refund no q's asked
