Thanks again all. The royal does have a three prong plug, but it is a replacement and the machine does not make any reference to being a commercial model. John, i'm surprised you missed that part about how the two lux model 30's were labeled as Hoovers! Don't worry, the hoover wasn't sulking...

Very nice collection, love the fantoms and the kenmores. Say, does your eureka freedom work? Scott

Thanks everyone, indeed I am more inclined I think to end up using the royal around the house. They are extremely powerful machines, and I will be hanging on to it. The simplicity is also a very powerful, well made machine which will certainly get some use.  The hoover canister main unit has...

I will be sure to comment on my dc59 motorhead when it arrives. In the mean time, I have started getting rid of my other not as good cordless machines as the dc59 and dc16 will likely replace all of them. Scott

Tradition A blue beast indeed. (One that could be taken down by the odd pebble or nail mind you!) Scott

Henry Dreyfuss, I wish I had found one of the animal versions! Funny you mention the Dc59 motorhead, I found this dc16 this last thursday. And can you guess what I had decided to order Wednesday? (:   man114, Sadly I already ordered a genuine dyson replacement battery from ebay for very...

 I found this little guy while I was volunteering for a local charity/thrift store where I test the vacuums. Knowing the battery issues with these I didn't want to risk selling it. I decided to buy it myself since I had always been curious about these. Sure enough, it only runs for about 45...

This last week, (mainly last Saturday) has seen quite a few additions to my collection. From left to right A Hoover spirit with pn, bag indicator, and no cord winder. Have not had the opportunity to try it yet however it is fairly clean on the inside and the hose, pn, and brushbar are all in...

That is a really nice find. I love air way canisters, there is just something about them that makes me attracted to them. Finishing boy scouts? Tell me about it, I have been rushing this year to finish but luckily my eagle board of review is next monday. Good luck with yours, although it looks...

Kenny, I wish my mother and I could have attended. It sounds like you all had a really good time. You have a really nice collection, and it looks like you have room to expand! We will have to see your house some other time. Scott

No, it is very similar to some other machines of the same vintage, but not a direct copy. Very nice find you have there, they were really great vacuums. I have the same model in slightly worse condition. Scott

LOL, I had one of those little dc05's when I was younger. In fact, it's still in the attic! Scott

That's not what I am referring to, I understand completely that parts are not available for numerous other brands and that they are just trying to compete. I just get angry when basic consumables for a machine I purchased are not available, not even enough to keep it going for it's short...

By no parts, I mean that the new kenmore low end upright I have does not even has filters or belts available for it. A huge rip off.

The main issue with the dyson robot will be the fact that it won't be available until late next year, and that it has only a 20 minute run time. Having owned five roombas and a neato, I can say that while the neato's power is impressive it does leave some aspects of battery life and...

I believe that the "extra suction" canister is one of kenmore's new line of "non-serviceable" vacuum cleaners. Along with the new low end uprights and similar small bagless canister. Parts are not available for these machines and they are designated as non repairable. Gee, I wonder why Sears...

The battery life is really short, it would take twice as long as my neato to vacuum the 4 rooms that I have it set up in. Still, they are on the right track and I may well buy one when they become available over here.

I don't know weather or not it will be available right away in England. I am only going off of information that dyson sent to the shop I work for yesterday. Scott  

Well, that's just wonderful I just heard that the Dyson 360 Eye (as it will be called) won't be available in the US until late 2015! The launch date listed will only be for the Japanese market first! That ticks me off! Scott

Wow, what a shocker....
