Also remarkable is that all three Roll-Easys will be won or lost in a 5 hour span today, Sunday.
Fortunately this time I can watch without stress, as I already have my 3. I don't have an original ribbed hose but as you recall I found a very nice turquoise substitute in a Flo-Bee Pet Clipper Groomer a few years back. For another Roll-Easy that I use as a 'central vac' set on end to rotate on one side wheel I added a 40 foot gray/blue ribbed pool hose - it's perfect for cleaning the car or a once over of the second floor without having to pull the vacuum behind you. If the Ladies actually tugged & lifted their Roll-Easys about the house as the Manuals indicate that would surely have led to the early splitting demise of original ribbed hoses. Charles, I haven't seen an original hose...are they wire re-inforced? On the woven hose subject, one of my R-1s came with the very same woven hose with cream and red tracer but mine is cloth weave; I can clearly see these eBay hoses are vinyl woven. Curiouser and curiouser... With gray rubber donut gaskets, the handle and the coupler on mine are (were) chrome plated steel with the GE prong button & hook-latch release so I always assumed it was a GE replacement hose for Swiveltops, Roll-Arounds and Roll-Easys, before GE switched to the flatter nylon button and wider catch. It doesn't exactly colour match any of them but is generic enough that it looks ok with any of them. It was in such airtight condition that swapped in aluminum Roll-Easy ends off a white plastic bojack and I pair it with the third R-1. Looking forward to any light that Tania can shed on this GE hose conundrum. |

Let me be the first to congratulate you Alex, on your patience and tenacity.
An excellent choice with the turquoise cardboard tool caddy and the bonus of the additional first style of flip-over floor nozzle. It's coming from Chad in Kansas so you know it will be well packed against any transit damage. Dave |
