"I selected this version partly because of the claim that it was switched, which was in big text in the description. However, the hose is just like the photo - a simple nozzle without the on/off switch. When I inquired I was told it was an error on the website. I was offered a partial credit to keep this one rather than sending it back. Anyway the hose is decent quality. There is a slight vacuum leak at the detent button where the wand is attached to the hose, but this is pretty minor."
