I saw one of these on Ebay for a song and a dance that was brand new, but missing the lower cord hook.  I bought it for my place of work (a bank, as you may have guessed) and wanted to talk about it a bit.  In short, it's a Sanitaire in a classy black and silver color scheme.  The brush roll is...

Is the adapter readily available?

Ahead like selling a vacuum with an expiration date of 5 years because either the motor will die or the lifetime filters will be fully clogged by then?

Question:  Can you get extension hoses and/or other attachments that work with this connection system? 

Good as new!  Minus a few scuffs at least!  The mildew smell had not gotten into the motor, so that's great!  The upright lock mechanism on the power head is in much better shape than mine actually!  It locks firmly but mine is pretty sloppy.  Basically, mine hardly has a lock.  Maybe a new neck...

At home I have the CS home and am going to clean everything.  First, the Mighty Mite will dust it off and then it is getting a good wipe down with some cleaner.  Inside the bag compartment is very clean.  The exhaust filter looks like it has captured a lot of carbon dust.  I suspect it is the...

...within the darkness of the furnace room lies a treasure.  Long forgotten, hidden in dust, it awaits discovery.  It's origin is a mystery, yet it waits...     Recently, I purchased some vacuums for my parish.  They have a mix of flooring (and a lot of commercial carpet), but the church...

I was able to use the vacuum to clean the whole house today and dang!  This thing has so much power that the stretch hoes does NOT want to be used.  A great vacuum, but I would recommend it for carpet only.

Leaving the vacuum business... Accorind to this article: http://www.xinhuanet.com//english/2017-01/27/c_136016721.htm   Panasonic is ceasing production in the US and Mexico, but will still make vacuums.  Did something else change?  I also thought that someone would keep making Kenmore...

The modern (and cheapened) successor to the Jetflow!  I went for the slightly older model just because I like blue better than green.  This thing is actually pretty solid!  It seems to have good airflow, the main body feels well built, and is a great value if it stays alive for any length of...

rivstg1 Between the two, the 5700 is a better machine to use.  Lower weight, better balance, and quieter.  It's a decked out Lincoln Town Car vs. a P71 Crown Victoria.  The Pro Series is a more powerful machine, but rougher around the edges.  It really comes down to personal taste and goals. ...

Don't forget Ocean Blue!  130 CFM so they say!  And 60 inches of water lift.   https://oceanbluevacuums.com/   It's like a supped up D4 by appearance. https://oceanbluevacuums.com/

I sold them for a period.  Very Solid machines!  I recommend getting the extra large water basin and filling it just a tiny tad above the fill line.  Do that, and the back-up hepa filter will stay clean for a long time.

Handle question According to this old dealer VHS:   Some models could lay the handle all the way back and lock so you could store the vacuum on its face.  Which models of Royal did that?  The 5700 doesn't seem ot have that feature.  Not that I would want to put all the weight on the...

Nice!  I love the look of old Kirby's and Bell-type vacuums.

Blackheart Yah, I know!  I would have gotten the commercial 10 amp if I had known.  The black and silver is great looking though.

KirbyClassicIII I had read that the 7 Amp Royals used a different belt than the later ones.    Wow, it was actually a quote from you from 2014! "D<a name="start_23834.266978"></a>ependent on the motor size, Royal has produced three different belts over the years: if one of your machines is...

Well, as is tradition, I bought a new Royal pro series and then immediately found a gorgeous 5700 for sale on Craigslist...  I'm not sure if that is lucky or unlucky...    Why did I buy the Pro Series (UR38200) rather than a commercial version?  If you go to Royal's website, the Pro is...

How?  Where did you get the hose and wands?  

Essential Oils I like to take an essential oil, go ahead a pick a favorite, douse a square of toilet paper, and suck it into the machine before you start vacuuming.  It will cover the smell very well.  I like lavender especially.  Its not my favorite, but Tea Tree oils seems to reduce odor...
