Woohoo. Got a great looking 886 model Friday and it works and feels great except it’s missjng the on/off toggle switch ( it was pillaged by someone else). After a thorough cleaning and tear down , this 6 amp wonder sucks hard and I like it! The model 4000 thats red on the photo has the 2 lever pedals for adjusting the height and this one is the adjust-o-knob...not sure which I prefer , the 2 pedal one is easier for the foot to use and quicker on the go...but I rarely can get it at the desired height in first try, the dial one can be adjusted ever so slightly to get just the right height...but one must bend down to do it by hand. The outer bag was really dusty ...surprising me more than I expected....it had a paper bag and clamp to seal it on this type ‘A’ bag set up...aka it fills from the bottom. Can this style be converted Toto the B’ style which loads/deposits the dirt from the top of the bag? I know I can just take the bag assembly off the 4000 model and use it but I want the blues bag utilized .
I like the slightly lower pitch/noise of this 6 amp vs the 10.5amp of the red one ( model 4000), but. It, these things really are easy to use....powerful and so light....I dare say that I like them more than my Kirby’s??? No, not more...just equally as well....except that Kirby has all the attachments I enjoy using and I don’t have any for the Royal and I hear they are rare anyway
