Does anyone make third-party Royal Type J synthetic HEPA bags? It's the one machine I have where I haven't been able to find any sort of synthetic bag.

So, the other day, just after I got home from work, a Kirby salesman knocked on my door, wanting to do a demo of the new Avalir. I figured, sure, why not - I get to see the new Kirby, and I get my landing shampooed. What have I got to lose? Well, I was pretty impressed at first - it did a...

I'm looking for a Royal upright attachment kit, either the newer 305 or the older 303. It doesn't need to be complete or in excellent shape - just serviceable. The main things I need beyond the hose and hose adapter are the crevice tool and dusting brush; the upholstery nozzle, wands and floor...

Is it possible to replace or upgrade the motor in a Royal 880?

I have a Royal 880 that I use at work, that has the original bag, designed for Royal Type A or Eureka F&G bags. Last week, I used up the last bag, and had some trouble finding more. So, an idea struck me - maybe I could convert it to use Kirby bags. The base of the fill tube on my Kirby Heritage...

Does anyone know where I might find an adaptor to connect a Filter Queen or Royal hose to a standard button-lock wand? I have one of the commonly-encountered plastic ones, and that works albeit not well. What I'm looking for, ideally, is a short, curved wand with one end that fits inside an FQ...

So, I stopped into a semi-local thrift shop, as I'm occasionally wont to do. Their appliance room, as usual, had a whole wall of vacuums. They looked like a sad bunch, as usual - the obligatory bagless Bissels, old Dirt Devils, Hoovers that would be good but were in horrible states of disrepair...

So, my mother is asking me for advice on an upright vacuum, after frying the third Dyson in seven years. Only trouble is, as a die-hard canister fan, I don't know uprights that well. She's got a a medium-large house (~2600 sq ft, IIRC), with a mix of deep-pile carpet, hardwood and stone floors...

There's an unusual vacuum on eBay just now - it looks like a Sanitaire, but it's marked as a Silver King. Now, as far as I knew, Silver King only ever made the well-known canister, plus the strange-ish Silver Knight swiveltop. Is this a Eureka/Sanitaire that's private labeled as a Silver King...

I've found a Filter Queen Princess 3, and I'm trying to get some info on it beforehand. What are the major differences between the Princess 3 (PG-93) and the 31X or the 95X? Anything I should be aware of, especially if I intend to use it regularly?

Hi, all. Just discovered this forum here a few weeks ago. I've been fascinated by vacuums for as long as I can remember. My interest got rekindled here recently when the vacuum I was using - a Kenmore Progressive canister - let out the magic smoke, and I happened to notice I could get a Filter...
