    Compatible GE Roll-Easy R1 Floor Tool

    I'm hoping someone can advise me on possible substitute floor/rug tools that are compatible (and similar) to a Roll-Easy floor tool. Of course, if anyone has a GE Roll-Easy floor tool they are willing to sell, I'd love to purchase. Thank you.

    @ Rugsucker Thanks for your comments. The finish on the vac has only a couple of blemishes and, there is wear along the outside edges from running against furniture, walls. It's not too bad, but as clean as the machine is, I would not have expected the finish to show such wear. I've added a...

    I'm new to forum. I'm a collector, purveyor and hoarder (says my wife) of old things. When I'm parting with the cool, old stuff, I try to send it to communities that appreicate it most. So ... here she is. It's really in great condition. In additional to the original box, manual and warranty...
