Question: Will this Elecrolux Home Care Paw Vacuum fit a Shop Vac 1.25" hose.
Document: Nice little turbo! Went to my vac store and bought one for twice the price beforehand. Got the thing home and it was terrible. Returned it, and decided to check Amazon. Very happy with this little unit. I have dogs and cats, and vacuum daily. I have had to open it up and clean it, but it does get a lot of use. Plugs right into my Riccar hose. Satisfied!
Having mostly hardwood floors I have only a small need for a brush-style vacuum. I use a shop vacuum (5 hp) to clean most every floor surface (area rugs, carpeted stairs, floor boards, window sills, etc.) in my home. Prior to the Power Paw I struggled with the carpet and rugs. We have a dog and the shop vacuum alone wasn't getting the job done easily. The Power Paw changed this. It sucks everything right up and is the perfect size for stairs.
I was at my wit's end. My dog normally sheds. It is summer. It is hot. She kicked it up into high gear so that now my home appears to have been dusted by very generous fur fairy. My little zing was not equipped for this challenge. It cleans fine, but the attachments are terrible. One can only attempt to clean a rug with just a hose so many times before cracking. I was considering ditching the whole thing and purchasing a fancy dyson.
Not good. Threw that away.To those who have stated that the casing breaks easily, I say it's not necessary to put a lot of weight on the Power Paw, let the suction and the rolling brush do the work. And if your vac doesn't have enough suction to make the roller spin, you need a better vacuum!
The stair attachment for the Electrolux Precision Brushroll Clean Bagless Upright Vacuum, EL8807A  does not work very well, so I purchased this since they are frequently purchased together, which made me draw the conclusion it was the correct attachment. They are not. The hose for the Electrolux Precision Brushroll Clean Bagless Upright Vacuum, EL8807A is somewhat of a rectangle shaped. The power paw attachment is circular.
This is my second Power Paw Vacuum Tool. The first one came with my vacuum and it worked miracles with removing pet fur (I have a Golden Retriever and 3 cats). Needless to say, my home is always furry. This tool really does the job; it even cleaned the rugs in my car very well, which are always covered in pet fur as well. However, like other reviewers have mentioned, my first one suddenly stopped working one day (during the 1st year of having it).
I bought my first Power Paw at a b&m; retailer locally. Can't remember which one, but I remember thinking for the price it was worth trying. I'm so glad I bought it! I have 3 dogs, one with long hair, two with short hair. The short haired dogs are more of a problem, since their hair is so hard to catch with a regular vacuum attachment or lint roller. I've also tried products that fit over the hand and use a disposable pad.
You will still need your power-head vac sometimes, if you have deep carpeting. This is more of a surface tool, not a deep cleaning tool.Given all that information, This is a wonderful buy. The Power-Paw does its job well, and is inexpensive. You'll love your pets again.
2. My method is to open the hose bypass (the little vent on the hose near the handle) and close it with my finger when I am using the Power Paw to remove hair; otherwise it stays open and the brush barely turns.Yes, I am a bit disappointed. Melting bearings with normal use is not a good thing.
Bought it for doing stairs. It seems to do that well. It is powered by the vacuum which makes the hose want to 'scrunch' up, but that's not horrible.
Answer: I use the paw vacuum with my shop vacation to do stairs all the time. The answer is yes it will fit a standard 1.25 vacuum hose!
