Don't be fooled by the cheaper brand

Just because something has a well known "brand" name doesn't mean that it's a better product. Improved engineering and Made in the USA quality trumps brand name recognition every time! You can avoid the problems this fellow is having:

"I recently bought/installed a Hoover GUV for the garage. I know reviews are mixed on this. One problem that I've run into is what to do with the hose when not in use. Currently I have the power unit on the 1ft wide wall between garage doors with the hose running up to a long shelf made to fit between the garage door tracks. This allows the hose end to drop down next to the air/power reels in the middle of the garage. The problem so far with this setup is that you can't really push the hose back onto the shelf since it naturally wants to just flop to the side as you push. I have to haul out the ladder and pull the hose up onto the shelf.So I could:#1 - Locate a retracting vacuum hose reel to go along side the air/power reels. So far everything I've seen is either: too big and meant for exhaust systems, too small and meant for air, or only sold in Australia. #2 - Make some sort of hose traction motor for the end of the shelf that pulls the hose up and pushes it into the shelf area. Probably something like an old drill driving an RC car tire on a simple angle iron frame with another RC car 'idler' tire and the hose in-between. Then wire up/down buttons to the bottom of the shelf.Any other ideas? How has everyone else dealt with this? "

Here's how we deal with it, buy a Garage Vacuum with a stretch hose!
