Big fan of the Roll-easy in all its incarnations, as you know so it's great to see one in action. I really must get around to re-plating the tarnished discolored copper on mine's strap handle bezel and the wands - it's worn off down to the aluminum in a few blotches. Now about that hose - I remember you mentioned your's was a substitute but the the color is so good - what other machine had a turquoise coiled vinyl hose? The one I used off the Pet Groomer clippers is unapologetically crushproof plastic but at least it is turquoise, if a bit too vivid. :-) Dave |

Charles, thanks so much for the fun videos. From the sound on your video it would seem that the Roll Easy had fantastic suction. |

Well, Charles-Richard, it's a fine looking hose. Had The Roll-Easy Triplets all out together tonight for a Vac-O-Meter survey, photo & video shoot. Turned that pale blue pool hose into a lovely 27 foot Rock&Roll&Reach-Easy hose, for the fun and practicality of it. :-) This is the one I found with Tom A in North Canton a few months ago. It came with the cord, thank goodness and the aluminum hose ends had a shortened white Hoover (probably) substitute. Really, too short to be useful. I went for the extreme. LOL Felix, as usual, likes to snooze in hose coils. The later version Roll-Easy being quieter and hushed than the first, he'll stay there when its running. R-1 on the left pulls 60", centre one 59" and the right one reads 57. with the hoses attached they all read 1-2" lower. This is due to the insignificant loss through the swivel hose ends. I should have switched the two foreground floor nozzles for continuity - note the copper elbow on the right one, while the paler left one color matches the later tools. |
