I got 500 feet of your Lil Better Vac Hose with the Blue and Red Saiger colors then I wrapped my new van to match it. Looks so sharp! I’ve been cleaning since 1975 and I’m not kidding, between your stuff and my new Butler, this is the best thing that’s ever happened to us. I’m telling everybody I know about you…if anybody who wants to know, have them call me, 781 820-9792. Thank you so much!

I have purchased more than a thousand feet of Lil Better Vac Hose. I started using Butler vans back in 2011. It came with hose on the reel. We immediately changed it out to Lil Better and have never looked back. The hose Butler provided was so much stiffer and heavier. We order our new Butlers with no hose! Lil Better provided flexibility to roll it up into a small space, but it is still very durable. Could not be happier with it. Cool Cuffs are easily screwed on to the hose ends to create the best vacuum system you can buy. Need more info call me personally. Jim 919-362-1054

I’ve bought the 2.5″, 2″ & 1.5″ and we love them! They are light and flexible, this is our go to hose. Joe’s High Heat solution hose is a must have as well.

The Lil’ Better Vac hose is awesome right out of the box… thicker, yet more flexible and easy to work with than any of the hoses I’ve purchased from JD within the last 20 years. On top of that, the selection of multiple hose colors to fit your brand is an awesome touch. Joe is always available for a chat, and Wander’s customer service in general far exceeds any other supplier I’ve dealt with. You can’t go wrong here, and I’ll proudly be a customer for life.

We have purchased these hoses for several of our vans. We allow our techs to choose their own colors (initially why we chose wanders products) but when these hoses arrived, they are durable AND flexible. We use flash cuffs and they fit very well on these hoses. (Flash cuffs don’t fit well on all brands of hoses)
The customer service is great and communication is easy. We have and do recommend wanders to anyone who is in the carpet industry, and our neighbors who have pools.

My Name is Rex Farr of F&C Cleaning Systems out of up state NY .I love Joe’s vac hose. We’ve been using his hose for years. We’ve probably gotten 1500-2000’ over the years. Why do we buy well it’s simple. 1-you can pick any color pretty much.2- it bends farther then most before it kinks on you. 3- you can buy it in 2”&2.5”. 4- Joe stands by what he sells. At least he always has with me. I think in the 20 years buying from Joe I maybe had 1 or 2 things he had to resend replacements. I think people freak out if something goes wrong and blame Joe . I my book if you take care of the problem there is no problem. Fact is Joe sells great products that work. Like him or don’t his products work. People need to stop talking so much and work more.

2.5″ purple swoosh. We love the vacuum hose.

I got tired of the hoses that “came with” my truckmount collapsing and kinking around corners, over railings, etc. When I started sucking up hot dirty water, the hoses failed miserably. They were firm until heat was applied.
The Lil-Better vac hose that I bought from Joe has been on my hosereel for many years now, and is holding up great, doesn’t get soft when performing high heat recovery jobs.
Jeremy –
Great product and value. These hoses are as good or better than any we have ever purchased.

I’ve ordered and used 2″ and 2.5″ “LIL Better” hose from Joe over the years… I have to say it holds up better than any other hose i’ve had in the past… I’m working on 5 years with same hose on one my vans right now NO cracking, No Breaking, NO leaking. Which is very import! Us professional carpet cleaners don’t have time to be cutting and fixing the hoses on the job! The crazy thing is even the outside of hose still looks GREAT after dragging hose over dirt, cement, black top, roads… I’m a firm believer you get what you pay for! Very fairly priced too!

If you are looking at Lil Better Vac Hose then your in need and stop looking and Buy! You wont regret it! Hose holds up great and is flexible. Great quality and bought 100ft and can guarantee I be back for another 100!

Bought the 2½” Vac Hose in Jan 2020 have been using it since, I have a BluelineThermal Wave II machine, The hose i was thinking going to be very stiff going around corners and such items similar not really any different there , People can see the hose Better in their home. TOOK a little while to get used to the LARGER NEW size and the added weight in carrying it into the home. After a month or so you don’t really notice it any more. What Real Difference i have Noticed the carpets are Drying Faster and im getting better recovery using the 2½” hose over the the old 2″ hose Customers have even Commented on the Fact that the carpet is almost dry when I leave the home . .

This hose has been the best for me by far! Never crushes and airflow is amazing!
Marty –
Quality item. Great color selection and always fair prices. Don’t get hosed…..buy from Joe!

We’ve been using this hose for many years and it’s well worth the money. It’s so easy and manageable to use. So easy to pull out and set up and take down. We have around 1000 ft.
Marek (verified owner) –
This hose is great. Very flexible even in the cold. Solid 100’ length definitely help increase vacuum. The color is great and matches uniforms and the truck wrap.
Preston Knepp (verified owner) –
We have been using hose from Wanders Products for YEARS. Its super reliable, doesn’t kink unless you’re being stupid with it. I have tried other hoses that would come with new machine setups and they never compare to lil’ better hose. My only regret was not getting one of the cool colors available, I went with the standard gray that was already on my Butler. I should have went with Saigers blue and orange. Next time.

This my friends is exactly why I dissociated from Waldo and all the people he associates with.

I’ve been buying vacuum and solution hoses from Wanders for over 5 years now. The Lil’ Better vacuum hoses are gret. They’re very flexible and easy to maneuver around. They don’t break like others and still look good after being dragged across driveways and concrete. I definitely recommend trying it out.

Looks like you have the newest run of the High Heat Green solution hose too Keith.
I have high hopes for this hose. It feels like a 5 year hose to me.
Hope you get there with yours.
Let us know.
This is another case where it takes me several tries to finally get a product right. At least I’m still trying.
Gary (verified owner) –
It’s very flexible but doesn’t kink. It’s also a little lighter than previous hoses. Love the seahawks colors too. Thanks Joe

Man, this vacuum hose is the way to go! is soft and yet super resistant. I can see it lasting for MANY years to come. Well built. Definitely recommend . Shipping was extremely fast as well. I’m happy with the overall experience and product

Great hose, the amount color options is pretty awesome. Having been using this hose for 2 years and it has worked perfectly.

After asking my local wholesaler if I could get some green suction hose, although being in the industry for decades he said he was unable to get me green suction hose. Here comes Joe to the rescue, I asked if he could get me Green suction hose, he said “What size and hue of green?” He delivered when others couldn’t and the hose quality is second to none. His prices are competitive and his delivery process and service was very quick!!! Bravo Joe!!

We absolutely love this hose! Matches perfect with our company colors. Very vibrant. The 2 1/2 inch hose compliments our truck very well.

Flexible but yet durable I’ve had just about every hose out there Either they too stiff collapsed and cracked this looks great Thanks again Joe
mfcarpetcleaning (verified owner) –
Fantastic hose. We have had it for about 6 months and still looks great. We will be buying this again for sure.
DAVE WRIGHT (verified owner) –
I had some very old vac hose probably 15 ish ys old. I was getting tired if the kinks and decided to pull the trigger on the lil better vac hose. I was impressed right from the beginning !! Great hose and a great price !!
Only thing I dont care for is that it is very very rigid. I’m sure that is 1 reason why the vac power is better. Also after about 6 months of use it is just like brand new and hold up extremely well!
WOULD DEFINITELY BUY AGAIN AND AGAIN !!
THANKS JOE !!

Got home to find it on my porch, it was 34° at the time i found it and this stuff was still more flexible than most vac hose on a normal day.
Jeff Brockhaus (verified owner) –
Jeff Brockhaus likes the superior flexibility and high temperature capability of Joe’s vac hoses, and prefers using a variety of colors so they are easy to sort out of a large stack or pile.
Jeff Brockhaus (verified owner) –
Joe’s vac hoses are the most flexible [therefore easy to work with] AND they are as strong as an other on the market.

This hose is awesome, I have 250′ on my rig and am very pleased. It is much easier to use the standard hose out there. definitely worth the cost.
Greg Batterton (verified owner) –
Replaced old cheap hose with Lil’ Better and Cool Cuffs and it works great! Easier pull around corners, better vacuum and no hoses separating!
Paul Barnett –
i chose the purple hose to match my company colors. I purchased the hose over a year ago and I’ve had zero issues to date. I will definitely purchase this hose in the future.
Matt Thornton (verified owner) –
How much better can Joe’s lil’ better hose be? It’s just vac hose right?
No! Just got a 100′ of the greenish colors(can’t remember the name), used the first time in 100′ hose run- dang, I can tell the difference in the suction! When joe talks about the “less air restriction inside” he’s not kidding.
Chris Graves (verified owner) –
Joe, I have been cleaning for 27 years and I have to fess up, I was skeptical of your sales pitch on this hose. But, now that I have it and have been using it for nearly two weeks I have to say, hands down it is the very best. I love it. Thanks for supplying great products Joe. Keep it going. Best regards.

Been using prochem vacuum hoses for years now. Immediately noticed a significant increase in suction with this hose on a Legend GT. I never thought a different brand hose would make a difference, but it definitely does.
