I can't imagine Sears still carries parts for this one, I can hardly find the right bags for it (am presently using a slightly different type but it works properly).
I can live without the top-mounted tool caddy, in fact it was slightly larger than the top housing, and rectangular, so it would have caught on corners & objects.
The original hose was one of those with a power cable built in; there is a little connector below where it would plug into the container. However I don't have enough rugs to justify getting the powered brush attachment, so I can live with an ordinary hose. I could use to replace the "dusting" brush, since the one I have is a bit worn, and it's an attachment I use often; and that's probably a standard part, easily obtained.
