Kirby's got the day off.

[electroluxkirby]

Well, the Kirby's and the Hoover got today off. I used the Royal Power Tank with a working power nozzle today. It's one noisy vacuum, but it's got some good suction. I had to empty the bag after vacuuming the upstairs, vacuumed the downstairs, and had to empty it again. It was about half full after I did the downstairs.

Well I don't know about anyone else but I would love to see a picture of that royal I have never really had one but I would love to see yours I may be wrong but didn't royal use a filter queen power nozzle just curious. Zach

They first used the Airway Rugmaster power nozzel then for a short while used what is sometimes called the Manta Ray nozzel, then went to Filter Queen, and ended with the hayden/Kenmore style with geared belt system.

Another of the tank after I cleaned it up a little, didn't realize how dirty it was until I took the first set of pictures, LOL.

 

[electroluxkirby]

If anyone has an extra blue upholstery brush or crevice tool they don't want or need let me know, I also need the curved wand so I can use the bare floor brush.

Someone told me the vac came out around 1985. There are paper bags and HEPA bags that go inside the cloth bag, and there is also a filter that goes underneath the bag.


Here are couple pictures of the bag chamber. This is the bag in place.

Filter

I really need to get a new filter. LOL.

Royal vacuums are commercial quality vacs and Dirt Devil are household vacs.

I've got that exact vacuum; it's a wonderful machine. I'd always wanted one since I saw the later one with the pistol-grip handle in a second-hand store, but the price was exorbitant. Unfortunately the motor on my example lost power at some point and shoots lovely blue sparks -I'm assuming this means I need new brushes. Are they regularly available?

 

[electroluxkirby]

There is a burgundy power tank on eBay with the pistol grip handle with power nozzle and attachments but I think the asking price is $179.00 plus shipping to rich for my blood at the moment.

Ok thanks because I was wondering why almost every dirtdevil I have seen has said royal underneath thanks. Zach
