Ben, I actually am bidding on that 970 haha

I bought a new bag spring from the same guy who sold me my green hood

almost forgot I will also try to upload a video of these two machines in action over the coming weeks.

Ben, the royal is indeed loud but very VERY powerful. Even with the height all the way up and a good half inch above the carpet, it has no problem lifting my plush carpet against the nozzle. As for the 660Z you mentioned, I really only bought a commcerial 10amp with shakeout because sometimes I...

Group shot. Tell me what you guys think.

This is what the royal looks like after a good polish. Soo shiny :-D

Heres a picture of my convertible with the new hood :-)

A closeup on the royal

Heres a pic of the royal before I polished it

I recently got a hoover convertible and a Royal commercial upright. Ironically, both machine's model numbers are 1030. The Hoover was very dirty and the hood was broken and spray painted. The Royal's bag had a few tiny holes that I patched and also needed a good polish. Luckily, some helpful...

duster Will, Are hoover dusters that rare? there has been one at my local goodwill for $3 for months, I just havent bought it because I dont really have a use for it

it is my opinion that this whole fiasco should have never happened. I believe if you can't understand what someone is saying, move on. it is that persons loss without your contribution to the conversation. None of us are perfect.

WOW! A Model O Hoover! does it run?

agreed barb, I think we all should just get along and enjoy our vacuums
