Best vac hose out there. Very comfortable to work with and it doesn’t kink up. Many colors to choose from.

Best hose out there. Joe even accomplished a custom color for us back in 2009. Been using this hose and color on all our Truckmounts.

It should be called. A Lot Better Vac Hose! Extremely flexible, durable and rolls up with ease…unlike the grey hose that JonDon sells. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I run a custom made one of a kind Oil Fired / Heat Exchanger Hybrid machine with 470,000 BTU’s of heat. It has a huge 4.5 blower and runs 6 huge .025 nozzles at 300° up to 1,000 psi (thanks to the High Sheer Kit!) The Vacuum hose has been the weak link for a long time. I’ve tried all of the “High Heat” Vac hoses and they’ve all been complete failures. The only vac hoses that have worked within about 30’ from the wand are old dried out stiff “high heat” hoses. My vac hose was a hodgepodge of hoses with couplers every few feet. It came up in conversation with Joe and he said his hose manufacturer could make a custom hose with harder plastic formulation that could handle it. He said I’d need to order a minimum of 100’ to get a custom hose. It came in a couple weeks ago and I absolutely love it!

Awesome hose! The smooth liner on the inside helps tremendously to maximize airflow. I get complimented quite often on the color since it's so different from the normal colors that come standard with truckmounts. Nice flex out of the box. Really takes no time to "break in". Been using for years and still going strong!

I’ve been in the cleaning business since 1985 and I’ve used many different brands of hose. Nothing comes close to the quality of Amflex vacuum hose. Don’t use anything else! Tony Moore Charlotte, NC

Joe advised trying these and I couldn't be happier. The 2.5 size really made short work of the larger tasks and the variety of colors makes it easier to keep the jobs seperate.

Love this hose, so much more flexibility and was able to got rid of my 8 ft 1.5 in lead line , which allowed for better suction and better dry times. So glad I found it.

Great hose; buy elsewhere and Thank me later also, shipping was a joke. 10days to "prepare" and another 5 days to ship. Ordered my hose over a month ago and won't receive til later on in the week

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.

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.

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.

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.

Replaced old cheap hose with Lil' Better and Cool Cuffs and it works great! Easier pull around corners, better vacuum and no hoses separating!

Joe's vac hoses are the most flexible [therefore easy to work with] AND they are as strong as an other on the market.

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.

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.

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 !! DAVE W. South Sound Carpet Care. Tacoma,Wa

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!!

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.
Reply from joe:
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.

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.

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 . .

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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'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.
Reply from Jim Mount:
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
