Is a Backup Reo necessary?

[Matthee]

Of course it is!!! Just received Blues to join Brick as part of the family. And a backup RM2 for good measure. So chuffed. Oh, yeah, the post holes in the RM2's are all BIG, thanks heavens.

For those that live outside of the U.S. I think a back-up is necessary to prevent being REOless for certain situations. If you have to send in your REO the time for shipping, shop time, and return shipping is a lot longer. If you lose your REO it would take longer to get a replacement.

Even living in the U.S. it can be about a week if a REO need to take a trip to Maine. And a few days if a replacement REO is needed.

If you have two models of REO's it is good to have a back-up for both. Just because!

Yes, back-up are the smart thing to do!

I thought you were actually asking the question...well, DUH -- OF COURSE.

Beautiful pair!

Congratulations, André! That's a beautiful couple.

I love those names Brick and Blue

Great picture of your REO pair. If you switch doors once in a while they like that Especially if you take their pics with the doors switched.REOs are always proud to have their pics taken it lets them know you really love them!

With a grand - probably not if you have a rebuild kit - with a vv grand - yes, unless you have spare boards just lying around!

Better safe than sorry though.

I'm going to be buying my first REO soon. I was thinking about getting a Grand and and get a Mini 2.1 for pocket carry. So.....that means I need 2 of each? I'm gonna be in trouble when the Woodvilles start coming out!

 

[Matthee]

Hi Budman - The Grand fits perfectly in the pocket. Seems many peeps think its big, probably because internet pictures does not really give a true sense of size. Whatever you do, when you have your first one you will want more! Feel free do ask any questions you may have on this forum. Bunch of friendly, sometimes fiercely loyal, people here.

The Grand is WAY smaller than it looks in pictures. Just get one by itself first. Then balance getting a second Grand against having to maintain two sets of batteries and two sets of bottles. Just a thought.

Now.....that sounds logical. Probably why I didn't think of that

I started with the Mini 2.1, and while I don't regret it, it isn't used as much as my Grands.

FWIW I'd go with the Grand. Only afterwards would I look at the Mini.

Of course, at some point you'll have to get one, y'know just because

I have three grands and plan on another this month...

It's more likely to lose a reo than it is to break one. Get a backup!

Yep.......I think it's gonna happen no matter what.

Thanks Jen. View from our front verandah/stoep, out of focus - Reos were more important for the purpose!

Of course!

Will certainly do, Maggie.

Agree with Budman, that is such a good point. Already cluttered with all the batteries and bottles and juices, etcetera!

I have three grands and plan on another this month...

Just can't keep up with the Jones'. Will get there eventually. Eyeing that raw tumbled, but the wallet man, the wallet!

Yep.......I think it's gonna happen no matter what.

You won't regret Budman. Keep us updated please. Some good advice from the Reonauts.

Thanks all for the congrats and sharing in my joy, much appreciated.

Congrats bro! I love that sparkly blue. Same color as my VV Grand. It's so pretty, I'm afraid to take it out of the house...
