Royal Wire Form & Roller As...
$6.99
Product details
Rolling smoothly across carpet and hard flooring alike depends on the wire form and roller under the front of a Royal or Dirt Devil 7200 Series upright, and part 2720247000 is the direct replacement once that roller wears out.
The symptoms of a worn roller show up in how the machine handles before anything looks visibly broken. Pushing the vacuum takes noticeably more effort, it wobbles from side to side as it moves, or it catches and hesitates partway through a stroke instead of gliding. A roller that has worn this far usually shows visible flattening along one edge when you turn it slowly by hand, which is an easy way to confirm the diagnosis before ordering. On hard flooring specifically, a flat-spotted or cracked roller can scuff or scratch the surface it rolls across, which is reason enough on its own to replace it as soon as the handling changes rather than waiting for a full failure.
Because Royal and Dirt Devil sold several 7200 Series variants over the years with only minor cosmetic differences between them, comparing the old roller's length and pin spacing against the new part before final installation is a quick way to avoid a mismatched order.
Fits both Royal and Dirt Devil machines in the 7200 Series. The swap only calls for basic hand tools, and once the new assembly is seated, the machine should roll and pivot the way it did new.
