A stability bracket, which may be configured to be attached to a vacuum that has a hose. The stability bracket includes a mating arm defining a flexible region and configured to conform to the vacuum, irrespective of size and/or shape. The stability bracket may be attached via a strap to any size/shape vacuum. The stability bracket includes a bracket arm operatively attached to one side of the mating arm, such that the bracket arm defining a hose gap opposite the attachment side, which is configured to receive the hose into the bracket arm. In some configurations, the bracket arm may be formed integrally with a wheel caster housing operatively attached to a lower housing of the vacuum. This may be referred to as a caster bracket arm, which extends from the wheel caster housing, such that the hose is configured to sit within the caster bracket arm.
