and yet another view.

Here is another view.

Due to lack of space in our apartment I have decided to scale back my small vacuum collection. I've had some pretty back luck trying to sell other vintage vacuums on eBay. I'd like to offer this vacuum to my collector friends here on the VCCC club site. As you can see from the pictures the...

I find it strange that you never really see uprights being sold in as much as we use them here in the USA.

Hey Derek, Ben & Rex, Thanks for all the advise. I like the idea of keeping the belt lifter attached to the back. However trying the srewdriver idea seems like a winner for me since I still struggle with the beltlifter that came with the machine. Bottom line I don't really use the attachments...

My God, what an expensive collection. Does your entire salary to toward your colletion!!?? LOL!

Thanks all for the comments. Actually I love the Royal & do us it as our daily driver now. It has replaced the Sentria that I used to use because it was easy to use on plus carpet. However the Royal is almost easier because it is so lite. We have a Kenmore Progressive that we use for all other...

Hi, I recently bought a vintage Royal upright complete with attachments. Although the vacuum is roughly 10 years old it had never been used prior to me. I have never had an interest in Royal upright; however I was sadly mistaken in their cleaning ability. They are a great cleaning machine. The...

Maybe I'm confused....but isn't that Santeria design. What makes it an Ultimate G???

TREBOR.....IS THAT YOU FROM THE ORIGINAL VAC FORUM OF 1998. WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN. IT'S MICHAEL LaBUE HERE!

Actually that is a Santeria, not an Ultimate. I think it is way over priced and definitely not gold plated.

Not for anything guys but that machine is a huge white elephant. Save your money! They have been out of production for several years now. And the worst part is that they are a terrible cleaning machine.

No one knows better than you!! Hey Charlie, if anyone were to plagiarize an eBay ad regarding an Electorlux Vacuum Cleaner, rare or not, they did find the one person who probably knows more about Lux's than any one person on the face of this Earth. LOL!

I realize that Kirby's current website never shows complete images of the current machine. However the reason I visited their official website was to see which model they were featuring. Obviously it is still the "Sentria" which by the way is still our daily driver.

Has anyone heard anything new about the introduction of the latest model Kirby? They are still featuring the Sentria on their website. Thanks Michael LaBue

It was a "thread" on the VCCC vintage site. Someone mentioned that they had heard about a new Kirby & yes that it was a secret. That's why I reached-out to you all.

I've heard that Kirby is coming out with a 2010 model. Does anyone have any information on the newest model? Are they planning on any significant style changes? When are they scheduled to debut? Thanks Michael LaBue

Royal made 3 model tanks which were commonly referred to as the Pony. The first was their deluxe which was Burgundy and used a Hayden power nozzle. The second was blue which was available with both the Haydon power nozzle and the less expensive Douglass power nozzle. They also made a straight...
