@vacuumdevil:


 


It's obvious (and it's easy to tell) that you know I've been right all along about Royal and other Direct Air vacs are the best way to go for commercial cleaning. You just don't want to admit it because you're a sore loser.


 


 


 


 
 
@sptyks No you are completely wrong and out of reality it's not the 1960s.
Changing belts and having to use a special tool for regular maintenance is outdated and a hassle most cleaning people are unable to change a belt on the Royal.

The hassle of changing fans or even the bag on that machine is so much more difficult than modern commercial, SEBO ,Hoover or even sanitary systems. Not to mention there's no on-board accessories .

Royals commercial sales Nationwide are close to zero on direct air machines.
Again if you worked in the industry you would know these things.

I have not insulted your character I ask that you do the same.

Go ahead & bash the Royal Metal uprights all you want! I have seen plenty of them in use in my part of Ontario, in fact I know for certain our local library as well as the school board have Royal Metal uprights that are in current use, maintaining facilities as we speak.

If your statement about sales being close to zero was true, then why are they not only still in production, but TTI moved production to the USA from China? A company obviously isn't going to make something that doesn't sell! Maybe you should shut your big mouth until you get a job at TTI & can REALLY speak about what REALLY sells!

As for belt changing on a Royal being hard? Hah, you wish! It's no harder than a Kirby is. And I can think of LOTS of plastivac uprights that have much harder belt changes than either Kirby or Royal.

Oh, and by the way, as for your little statement at the end:

"I have not insulted your character I ask that you do the same."

Well, Alex, maybe we SHOULD start insulting your character more! Might I remind you that you joined this site to try & get people to defend you after you made a insulting, defamatory video about the Simplicity Wonder tandem air canister, & instead the majority of the members here slammed you for it like you deserved. Ever since then, all you have done is being a nasty, rude, insulting, immature little prick! So, as far as I'm concerned, you DESERVE for both me & Stan to insult your character & get a taste of your own medicine, since you're such an expert yourself at doing it!

It's thanks to members like you that we have people leave the site & delete their accounts. We don't need that. Please, do all of us a favor, delete your account & go away!

Rainbowvacfane2 , if you ever get rid of that vacuum to the junk pile, I'd like the Hoover logo latch off the dirt cup. Been looking everywhere for that part, but since these vacuums are still so new, there is no parts supply for them. I just got one for $30 as a new in box store return that still sells at Home Depot for $170, but it's just missing that latch.
 
@kirbylux77
As of right now we can no longer order metal upright home machines.
There is a reorganization going on at TTI as far as the future of Royal Vacuums in general.
Also it sounds like you have a personal problem with me please feel free to p.m. me or contact me with that hate no reason to blog up this with that.

No I've been a member of vacuum land in The Collector Community for years I have gone by different names before. But this username I've had a vacuum land long before the incident with Tacony. Who bought me two steak dinners and dessert the other day I might add.
 
The North Carolina Pitt County School system has a fleet of the metal Royals.Royals are often purchased by fleet owners.Same with Sanitiare-the ECU University here has a fleet of Sanitiares.Belts,brushrolls,bags,even fans easy to change on these.Most cleaning folks can do these.I hardly see any clean air machines such as Lindhaus,Windsors in my area. The Sebo dealer here sells to residential customers.And how often are the hoses and wands REALLY used on commercial uprights-keep in mind they add weight,bulk to the machine and are awkward to use--and BREAK under commercial use.So the SIMPLE,lowly direct air uprights are easier after all.The hose and tool on board upright vacuums appeal mainly to residential owners.Using the belt tool on the Royal isn't hard at all.Takes only moments to use it!
 
@vacuumdevil,


 


Why would anyone want to buy a an inferior cleaning PLASTIC vacuum like the Sebo? Rob is correct. You are a sniveling, whining little snot. The new commercial Royals not only clean much better but will easily outlast a Sebo by twice the Sebo's normal lifespan.


 


You should learn not to trash all vacuum brands except the ones you sell!!! Better yet, you should crawl back under the rock you came from!!!


 


 
 
@sptyks first of all you owe me an apology. I have done nothing wrong to you.

I've recommended multiple brands and models that I don't sell.

We all love vacuum cleaners there's no reason for you or Rob to get so emotional.
You're entitled to your opinion and love affair with your Kirby's and Royals.

But the facts are they don't hold up in the 2017 Marketplace . Looking at any manufacturer's website will show you this.
I look forward to your apology.
 
My thoughts about royal

Personally I have used a 14 in shake out royal and I hated it it was loud pretty awkward to use the belt did need to be replaced but didn’t affect the brush roll to bad it won’t slow down to much I personally hate them and prefer to deal with the extra weight and use a Kirby ( I use a sentria at work most of the time ) this Hoover not only keeps a decent amount of airflow and power the features are amazingly simple and useful I just wish it didn’t have the cord rewind
 
Actually

I agree with a few others about the Royal. They are easier for me to take apart or maintain, they definitely clean carpets much better, and they're one of the most durable vacuums out there. We sell Royal too but we've rarely had any of them that would come in for repair and whenever I do see them come in, it's usually a simple fix like a new brushroll, a handle fork latch, or an outer bag replacement for example. Also, I've cleaned a furniture store with a Royal years ago and I never saw any belts that had ever snapped off other than regular belt changing every 6 months or so.
 
Wow you guys really got into it! I would have thought of administrator would have come the way you treated that guy.
Royals are great for commercial use for this probably too much extra maintenance realistically. Please don't come at me for disagreeing with you guys.
 
When we get down to it--ANY vacuum cleaner used commercially is going to need MORE than average maintenance compared to one used for residential use.Belts,rollerbrushes,bags,motor brushes,and filters will need to be replaced more often.You would want a vacuum where these things can be replaced easily and at low cost.
 
Will probably get yelled at for this...

But I would recommend the Amway ClearTrak (now rebranded as the Workhorse). Here is some info about the vacuum.

-Made in the USA. This thing is built like a tank, you can abuse it all you want and it will still work fine.

-Has a silver rating from The Carpet and Rug Institute.

-Brushroll has great agitation on carpets.

-8 AMP Ametek LAMB motor.

-Nice big sized bin. Also has a clear air path were you can see the dirt coming in.

-Good airflow through the entire vacuum.

Now there are some cons with this vacuum too. The cyclone does not have a shroud since the machine was produced before Dyson designed one. So once you start to fill up towards the "max" line, fluff and hair can get it's way into the filter tray area. Sometimes hair can actually get tangled in the upper cyclone assembly so it is a good idea to check there every now and then. If you want to find out more go to this website www.cleartrak.com . They currently sell refurbished ClearTraks for $299. Trust me though it is worth the price and it will last you a long time.
 
Agree on the Royal. My elementary school had something like 40 years old low pile carpeting (and this was in 1999) and they used red and chrome Royals outfitted with magnet attachments on the front. Vacuumed the floors without worry about picking up tacks and paperclips, as those stuck to the magnet.

One time I was sitting in the library and watching the janitor vacuum, he mistakenly sucked up an entire pencil into the vacuum and it made a horrendous clattering noise and then stopped. He turned the vacuum off and dumped it out over a garbage pail and what was left of the pencil was just in many many pieces, completely destroyed. He shook the vacuum out and went right back to vacuuming and did the whole library without fail. Any vacuum that could do that and be unphased by the ordeal, I think would be pretty good.
