    Royal 4000 Bag Odor

    Can anyone suggest the best way for me to deodorize (as much as possible) the outer bag on my Royal 4000? Everytime I use it, the air gets filled with a musty, foul odor that lingers for quite a while. I believe the previous owner was also the owner of large dogs. I'm afraid to wash it in the...

    The Dual Sanitronic 50 or The Dual Sanitronic 80?

    DS 50 The all metal, thinner handle gives it more of a retro-antiqued look to me. I have both models, but the 50 looks cooler to me.

    Kirby G6 - Limited Edition

    What makes it a "Limited Edition?" I'm thinking it's either just the branding it "Limited Edition" or the color scheme? I found out this morning that my hubby has purchased one for me for about $400.00. This will be my first experience with a "G" series model as the Kirby's in my collection...
