A:Answer The tube does not telescope or have any option but in place or not. There is no in between, just one option for length when using the floor attachment. When in place, the tube accounts for about 26 1/2 inches of length with the floor attachment adding another 6-7 inches. The motor/battery unit is about 13 inches and the shortest attachment is about 6 inches, so shortest length is 13+6 or 19 inches, but the shortest the unit gets with the floor attachment is 13+26 1/2+6 1/2 or 46 inches.
