I ordered this item from amazon.com and it arrived a couple of days ago. Here is what i have found:
This is NOT an extension to the original hose that comes with the WindTunnel vacuum cleaner. It does NOT connect TO the original just like a wand. I can use either this or the original hose, but not both at one time.
That means i am not adding 20 feet to what i have, but 20 feet MINUS the length of the original hose.
The stretch hose has to be pulled to stretch. If i am not careful while pulling the stretch hose, i pull down the vacuum cleaner itself. I already did it a couple of times.
If i try to keep this extra long hose attached while i am vacuuming the floor or carpet using the SWEEPER, not the hose tools, this hose is dangling and gets in the way. Otherwise, i have to frequently detach the original hose and attach this one when i switch between using the sweeper and this hose. Detaching and attaching the hose is not nearly as convenient as using a wand. And the end with the projection which i have to slide in and twist to lock the hose is dusty.
Why cannot they make it a regular stretchLESS 20-feet hose with one end just like that of a wand?

Hardly comes close to stretching 20 feet. Stick with the one that comes with the vacuum as it appears sturdier too.

This a useful addition to the Hoover vacuum, but as others have noted the ’stretch’ on the hose is very stiff. Although I haven’t measured it, I seriously doubt it is capable of stretching out to a full 20 feet. We don’t have stairs in the house, but bought it to use in those hard to reach places - plant shelves, high ceilings, etc. - and it is handy for that although a bit bulky because of the stiffness. In short, it’s tightly coiled and will pull over the vacuum when you’re trying to stretch it out. If you need extra vacuuming “reach”, this is your only real choice.

I bought this for my Hoover u5140-900 Tempo Widepath upright bagged vaccuum and it fits perfectly. It’s not as long as you think, but will stretch out if you need to. I waited till I got my vacuum to see if I needed the extra hose and you sure do. It stays attached, I just loop it over the top of my vacuum. And I didn’t see any loss of vacuum with the extra lenght.

The extension hose makes it much easier to reach things. I took the advice from one of the other reviews and filed off the tabs on one of the hoses so that I could attach it to the hose that came with the vacuum, therefore giving me an additional few feet of length. Works great! Well worth the $.
