Yeah! The end caps do come off, it's not just an end cap actually. The bearing is in the end cap, and a stick comes out of it and is pressed into the wood bar. They do come out though, it's what I do. You just put one side in a vice, and yank up on the bar and if you pull hard enough the end...

That's a sad looking one, I bet the main body is cracked because they have tape holding on the bag door.

Well, it's a rare one! I have recently purchased a DD Extra HP from a little auction place, through HiBid.com. It also comes with a Hoover Elite Supreme I think, but that'll just get a good restoration then be sold. The extra hp I think is the same color as the little green hand vac plus they...

Ooh a vac shop selling dirt devils! My favorite! Well not any longer, but used to be means there's a good chance they still have new parts and vacuums that were unsold.

Vacuum shops. That's your best bet! That's where I got my Ultra MVP. 

Hey guys, I'm wondering if there are any new vacuum cleaners that are sold with order forms in the box so you can order upgrades and extra parts? I was thinking like Dirt Devils famous Handy Quick Parts Mailer, they would have an option for the hand vac to fit paper bags, buy an attachment kit...

Just found this, Could you put a picture of this vacuum if you still have it? It sounds cool, I haven't heard of a commercial canister by royal. Only seen the uprights.   Regards, garrett

I made the decision to buy a Durabuilt upright vacuum cleaner at my local goodwill, and I'm very close to finishing the restoration. It's missing the baseplate. I knew that before I bought the vacuum, but I still gave it a chance because i wanted some more experience and don't know anybody else...

Thank you both for the kind words! I think it's just fun to find out about that stuff. But I do understand the point of other collectors and how they perceive the company. Some day I'll start getting into Royals. I really love the power tank design and power right now!   Thank you, Garrett

Those are very cool vacuums, though, not in my budget.

Hey everybody, I was just looking at some of the model numbers on my Dirt Devils a couple of weeks ago and have been looking for a pattern and researching ever since. I've actually gotten somewhere. The first thing I found is that the earlier Dirt Devils generally made before 1993 have a model...

You're sure? Those styles are all different from my information. The soft bag with no headlight was the Lite, or earlier 5200 series. The soft bag with a headlight was the 6200 series. The hard bag with headlight used the later model number system, which has the prefix 086 generally (but...

eBay If that doesn't work out, there have been three of these on ebay in the past month. They arent impossible to find. I'd say a Royal Dawg Devil might be harder to get access to. Maybe you should also look for a matching Extra HP upright, like the one that Kyle Krichbaum has!   Regards...

Pickup This is the final chapter to the story. I went and picked it up today, and gave it a deep clean. It's stunning! It has so much suction that even on the high pile carpet setting (I have low pile carpet) it's hard to push. The amazing looks make up for that though. I decided to see what it...

Model number Another thing I've noticed with this variation is the model number! These style uprights were commonly listed as the 7200 series, my own being a good example. It has the skinny style handle, with the edger. It's a 92 model. It has a different color scheme on it so it's specified...

@dysonman1 Do you have any unsold units? I've seen the ones with the switch in the handle grip, but I didn't know they, or other versions had an electronic speed control. That's very cool. Was there any other units in the Emerald Collection? Or and other styles of the Sterling Set? It's weird...

Woah! That thing is super cool! I'd like to find one of those. I have no info on it, though I usually know a lot about Dirt Devils. Thats the first one I've come across on the internet. It's odd how many versions of this basic style they made. You are very lucky!   Regards, Garrett

Sebo I have a couple of vacuums with stickers on them. What I can think of right now are my two Sebos. My Automatic X4 and my X5 both came from the same shop, but I got them from totally different locations. It was cool to have them both because I thought of it like long lost siblings. I left...

Floor a matic That thing is cool! I wouldn't expect them to be too popular in the us. I'd like to get a hoover floor scrubber type machine some day, if I can find one local.

New in box Thanks, that video was really fun to make, probably one of the rarest types of a broom vac one can own (I'd assume, but Dirt Devil made so many variants of everything!). I've seen a NIB MVP with a bonus hand vac on craigslist a while ago, I think it's still for sale, but like most...
