    Kirby vs. Royal

    I particularly like my Royal 996, since at 7.0 amps it has lots of pull but is relatively lightweight. My newer 2025 weighs a ton and it maneuvers like a Mack truck sans power steering. I've owned Royals since the 1980s and have found them to be as durable as Kirbys but easier to use. Good luck...

    Possible to convert Royal model 887 from shake-out to bags?

    Royal 887 bag conversion Hi John, Sounds great! I've bought parts vacs for my Royal Princes from eBay and even at flea markets for a few bucks. It's not so easy now to get a brush bar or correct fitting end cap for these terrific hand-helds. I have a couple of parted-out Princes stashed away...

    Possible to convert Royal model 887 from shake-out to bags?

    Royal 887 conversion to bags Hello Ben, Thanks for responding to my post on the 887. This strikes me as odd since I bought the vacuum new and it has always had this shake-out bag. Is there an OEM filter bag I can purchase that will take the A bags with which I can replace the shake-out bag...

    Possible to convert Royal model 887 from shake-out to bags?

    Hello! I have a Royal vacuum model 887, and I'm trying to convert it to paper filter bags which to date it's never used. I've had this vac since it was new. I bought a new outer bag since the existing one is now totally disgusting, but the new one is inferior and clearly not OEM; thinner fabric...
