Canister. vs. Canister

[tolivac]

Oh yes-another GREAT canister vacuum-the Royal metal Powerteam vacuums-the Royal canisters made today are asick joke.TTI is so stupid for discinuing the Powerteam metal vacuums.the bags on these will fill quickly if you use the powernozzle a lot.

My vote is Electrolux. Both my AE and Olympia I have great suction.

Lux does great with the attachments, ease of use, quality feel, older of course! Even the sound of the older machines, very soothing, just more fun to play with.

I do

Like the Eureka Roto series as well Brian,and my Royal Power tank will suck the paint off the wall untill the bag is just under half full, but for some reason the Kenmores of yester year are still at the top of my fav. Mabe because it was my childhood vac, then again so was the Lux model L. Mabe because of the thousands of trips to Sears where I could play,Uh i mean try them out, then again I played with lots of Hoovers and Eureka's at ann&hope.
Who knows but canisters are my favorie type also.

I did the Sears cruise in the 60s as well, really no other place in our town to get excited!

Of the brands with which I have some experience, I would say 1) Compact (Tristar), 2) Electrolux, and 3) Filter Queen. The engineering is so simple and straightforward on a Compact/Tristar that even a caveman can work on them! And that includes me!

True, have had my Compact apart a few times, even when I was a little one

I simply cannot think of another brand of canister/tank vacuum. Nope, can't think of one. All the brands that have been mentioned are pretty good. Yes indeed.

My Choices !

I would have to say in my opinion..........the best performing vintage canisters are any Electrolux with the metal body and probably Compact. Nothing beats the suction and the ease of use. We did have a Filter Queen at one point. It was well made but found it to tip over easily and the power nozzle was alittle bit wimpy. Definitely Electrolux with the metal body and Compact in my opinion!
