you are now initiated, 15 years late, but, nevertheless initiated.

Marty, they all end up like that. You might want to source a piece of clear tube like that from a different -non carpet cleaning industry-source. The interlink type clear 2" tube will look the same way in no time.

I had that happen when I was trying to push a 1.5 inch hose cuff into the tube, it fits but barely and will over time crack out the tube. Once I realized that a 2 inch hose cuff would fit over the tube perfectly it hasn't happened since.

So ordering another from Rotovac is worthless?

If you say nice things about their Bonzer, they might give you another tube for free.

The tube on my 360i is still in tact, using it hundreds of times.
The one on my XL is cracking pretty good after just a couple months use.
They must have gotten a bad batch of tubing.
They put the handle adjustment wheel things in the wrong spot on the XL too.
It feels like a work in progress.
That handle assembly...

They got the xl and bonzer tubes mixed up.

Do you mean up front and forward facing vs on the side?
That was a good move IMO.
less snagging of cord and curtains.

I've have my sight tube crack also.... but never shattered..... I just cut off the piece to make it even.... I think it cracked again but I still use it.....
@GeneMiller uses pyrex glass I believe..... Marty shouldn't try that..... First the Cimex, then this..........Who wants to bet on what's next?

Yeah, those 2 little knobs that tighten when you raise/lower the handle.
I didn't even think of them snagging the cord or curtains. It wasn't a problem with the 360i for me.
Now they are jammed in tight with the cord to the motor and the sight tube.
Sure, it works but it's now a "wear" area. I bet that cord will need replacing unless we are very careful when we tighten those knobs.

Mr Happy!
We actually collapse our handle every time after use to put in the vans. Takes up less room...
And I have not shattered a site tube yet

It rides better and takes up less room when I collapse it. I do it several times a day.

Yep, we collapse the XL and the I every time we load them up.
