Hi everyone, it's been a while since I've been online here, just wanted to give everyone here an opportunity to swipe a good deal on some collector grade vacs. I'm starting an eBay selling account and already have a few machines listed for sale. My beloved Royal Dirt Devil Pro Series MVP...

I believe that translucent blue featherlite hard bag were just called the Dirt Devi Lite, I've seen more pics on facebook groups. the 501d was sold at the same time as the "commercial quality" plastic uprights, so would've been a companion to one of these:

Been too long since I've visited this site, yes I know exactly what you're talking about. Here's a picture of one from a listing a couple of years ago. regards, Rett

Might have a point? I don't see any other explanation for your question.

@fan-of-fans I have owned all of those machines except for the hoover, they're all great cleaners and good collection pieces. I'd say the Ultra MVP with cord winder is specifically an interesting and rare vac from the late 90's.

Royal started early Royal's metal Power Teams were great canisters! Those were produced from the 70's all the way to the very late 90's, I believe '98 or '99 was when they were officially discontinued? And Dirt Devil of course had the little Power Pak in many different variations. For Bissell...

Forgotten, or unknown? The Dirt Devil Green Machine! An early nickname dealers would use to advertise the forest green Pro Series Upright Plus. Or maybe the Anniversary Upright Deluxe? Walmart special? 501D? Manufacturer Special? Classic (teal upright)? Emerald Collection!

Those early visions are neat... the filter check looks in good condition on that example. All of the DD red visions didn't come with bumpers, I wonder why.

Actually the dirt devil car vac is designed completely differently internally from normal hand vacs. This is due to the motor shape being completely different, requiring a different type of motor mount to keep the machine and its motor secure which. It depends on the year of the car vac whether...

I saw that one on Facebook too! Felt regret for not buying it right after it was sold. Oh well, maybe a better one will come to me in the future!

Awesome That's very cool! I've always wondered what those really looked like. I've seen newspaper ads for them, but of course in black and white. Let me know if you ever want to let it go. The classic name refers to a lineup they had at the time which I believe only consisted of the upright...

A little patent research and a lot of y'alls questions would be answered. Did the work for you, these are Scott and Fetzer patents from 2009. It's clear that by now they would've improved the design, and had well enough time to design a new Kirby, having released the Sentria, Sentria II, Avalir...

Lucky me! I found it after a quick search! Model 501D, It's called the Deluxe Hand Vac. This paper is actually from December 1993, and shows all hand vacs that were sold at the time.

Panasonicvac, Actually, contrasting to what everybody else claims, there WAS a metal Dirt Devil branded royal prince. I assume it was around for only a couple of months and was sold in 1992. I found old newspapers ads for it, but for the life of me haven't been able to find them again. I can't...

UberGreenGuru I see you replied saying that you don't think the pro series bag on the royal prince was original, but I think otherwise. I have seen about 4 of these sell on eBay so far, and all of them have a dark blue main housing with the pro series bag. There's no way that 4 of these just...

Hey everyone, wondering if anybody has a color photo of the clean air dirt devil classic? Same exact design as the MVP, upright, and deluxe, but it's labeled Classic with Dirt Devil's teal color that they used on the Hand Vac Plus, and Extra HP. Thanks! Garrett

Awesome Hoover! As far as it goes for the competitor to that Ultra MVP, the main one would've been the Eureka Excalibur upright. The Ultra MVP came out exactly one year after the Excalibur, basically in response to that top-of-the-line machine.

Thanks very much for the pictures y'all! That's a huge self propel motor! If I spot one local, I wouldn't hesitate one bit to pick it up. I love these Whispertones without the self propelled mechanism but that just makes it so much better. Best Regards, Garrett
