Thanks for all the replies guys.

David your picture alone has convinced me to buy some more hose. I don't like the idea of lumping my machine down some stairs like that!

  Snap - after that job.

Don't forget you need the waste hose AND the solution hose extension (!).

Having an Airlflex Storm which some compare to a Darlek mine just levitates up the stairs whilst screeching I will exterminate all stains and dirt

I have 75ft of hose and only nearly came close to not having a enough length on one job but managed it with around 2"inches to spare.  Some of the houses i have done 50 foot would have left me slightly embarrassed. Having to explain to customer that i didn't have enough pipes to do the job.  For the extra cost of 25ft hoses you could pay for that in one or two jobs.
