Does a longer hose reduce vacuum suction?
A smooth bore hose will lose less suction than one with internal corrugations. However, in using our vacuums in particular we have found that although adding length will slightly reduce suction per amount added. On our 1.5″ Crush-Proof yellow hose, we have found that adding 12.5′ of hose decreases the CFM by about 7%.
Does size of vacuum hose matter?
So if you want to pick up slightly larger debris and can give up a little on the effective suction area side, going to a smaller diameter hose makes sense. On the other hand, if you're collecting airborne particles like concrete dust, a larger hose that pulls in more air from a larger area makes more sense.
Is a bigger vacuum hose better?

How do I know what size hose I need?
The longer the hose, the more it weighs and the more storage space it will take up. For small yards, patios, and balconies, 25 feet should be enough.
