Hi all, ive been a member on here for quite a while I just forgot my password. Today I went to goodwill and saw this for $20 and had to get it. I couldnt find anything about this online, do any of you have one?

I have only seen one other commercial.....

Dirt-Devil, and it was the clean air Upright/Deluxe. I am guessing they were pretty short lived, probably because at this time, there were a lot more superior, and better made commercial vacuums on the market. I wonder if this was during the period that Dirt Devil was still being made by Royal. When they were produced by Royal, Dirt Devil was suppose to be the affordable, in store option for the accessible part of the lower middle class, and working class market. Then the Royal was of coarse, the premium vacuum dealer option, and metal commercial line. So I have no idea why, or when these were made.

I agree, im not really sure why these were made since there were many better commercial vacs. The date on mine says it was made in 1996. The only differences I can see from my regular lites is that the cord is thicker, its sligtly heavier, and of course the base is black instead of red.
