My amazing, unbeatable FrankenRoyal has just been relegated to the museum, instead of being our daily driver. And worse, it's been replaced by a lowly Shark! An 800 series "Duo Clean Powered Lift-away Speed" to be exact. Only $129 on Amazon as a used/ refurbished machine, UV810. Third...

Good Afternoon. I've been asked to replace a Dyson DC17, which has been a total PITA, with another upright for our front office. I would have preferred a direct flow vacuum, but the guy who pays the bills wants a vacuum with attachments. Fortunately, I'm not tied to buying another Dyson. I...

Good Day, Been scouring the Internet for a vacuum hose to use on a shop vacuum. The 2" hose it came with is cheap and stiff. Small wonder since the thing is only a $50 unit from Sears. I want to step it down to a 1-1/4 or 1-1/2" x 7' hose, and I want it to be really nice and flexible. It...

Finally got the newly acquired Model 131 up and running. Basically just replaced the front motor bearing, and added an F&G bag attachment. Oh, and polished the hell out of it! Took no sandpaper to anything but the nozzle. No pictures yet, but I did upload a video...

My filth fighting Batman of a vacuum is a 14 year old Royal 4008. He can handle whatever is thrown at him, but certainly has limitations where finesse is required. Just acquired what I hope is a worthy Robin for those tasks. An Electrolux UltraSilencer, EL6986A. Over qualified for what will...

Good Day All, Yep, first post of yet another vacuum nube. First, want to say thanks to the helpful contributors here. I recently acquired an M1030Z from work. It was well used, and in need of some TLC. Thanks to a few threads found here, I know quite a bit about it, and it's running in tip...
