    Royal Metal Uprights - Belt Question

    Everytime I change the belt I always make sure the arrows are matching and when I connect the belt to the shaft I always make sure to "hook" it from the left with the belt tool. But either way the belt still doesn't last and I vacuum 1-2 times a week. Today I re-adjusted the height. And I have a...

    Royal Metal Uprights - Belt Question

    Yes, 2 of the belts were the original ones that came in the box with the vacuum and the 3rd one was one that I bought matching the product number on the manual and the website.

    Wanting to buy new Vacuum: Royal 18" vs 14" or recommendations

    Hello, I want to purchase a new vacuum for my carpets at home. I narrowed my decision to either the royal commercial 18"(CR5158Z) or 14"(CR5128Z). I chose Royal specifically because I want my vacuum cleaner to last since it's all metal. I'm tired of my father buying the Hoover bag-less bypass...
