Okay fellow GE buffs, I have a question. A fellow vac buff told me that they made the GE Roll-Easy in not only the great turquoise color, but in the same pink color as the C-3 swivel-top. Anybody know if this is true or not, maybey even have a pic or two?? Any information would be greatly appriciated. Later, Trg

Well, I know the original shaped Roll-Easy crevice, upholstery, dust brush & flipover floor tools were made in bubblegum pink, as I have a set that goes with the pink early GE C-3 Swiveltop Reach Easy. Seeing these early tools in pink might give the impression that there was a pink first generation Roll-Easy to match, too.

The second & third generation turquoise Roll-Easys came with the new floor nozzle, replacing the flipover, and the matching ribbed tool shapes had changed as well.

As for a pink Roll-Easy? Don't know. Like to seee one if it exists...but if it did we'd probably have heard mention of it before now. Imagine that expanding coil hose in pink! Swiveltops all came with matching cloth weave hoses, as far as I can tell, while the Roll-Easy came equipped with the 'hoover-like' stretch hose.

I don't think there was a pink Roll Easy, but I have heard from a couple different people that there was a canary yellow one. Can anyone authoritatively confirm/refute this?

Yellow Roll Easy

Yes, Charles, there is a former member who absolutely insists he has seen one in this color. The expression on his face made me believe it. Another Holy Grail to find?

ge pink swivel top

The GE pink Swivel Top came with a dark brown hose. Same as the Rolleasy hose but brown. Most swivel tops had replacement cloth weave hoses. The vynyl hoses did not last as they were being pulled .
