Notice in the garry video...
They used an Oreck bag in place of a garry bag (This comes in about half-way trough).

BTW, what is the model # of that Royal? It's either a model 886, 887 or 85103, going by the color of the bag. All of them would have the 6.0 amp non-drop-in motor.
The serial # for a pre-1990 886 or 887 would be, for example, J87B005106. From April 1990, it would be something like D90001557G.
Thank you,
Ben

There's at least 6 Hoovers there!
JMurray, I don't think there's a lack of Hoovers. At minimum there are 2 Elite style, 1 Windtunnel Self Propelled, and 3 Concepts. I think there might be a Dial-A-Matic behind one of the Concepts, and I the third picture on the right hand side the white hose looks like it could be a Hoover Celebrity electrified hose? To me the material looks like Hoover.
Overall very nice collection. I myself am a power nozzle canister fanatic. I love that Eureka RotoMatic power nozzle and I think your Dyson has the electric powered nozzle as well.
Welcome aboard!

nice collection!
All nice but if I were to pick a vac to clean the rest of the house it would be Elite style Hoover,tan Eureka UR or the Like New!! Filter Queen.I just sold a Dirt Devil Kone and found it to be better as a sculpture than a vac.Your opinion?Does it have light in base?I have extra DD type K bags if you might need.Garry--I had a cleaning service customer who was happy with Oreck and then saw Garry on tv and bought.Had a broken fan very soon after and found the 'warranty'was more trouble and expence than it was worth.Brought to me to fix with Oreck fan.I felt the overall quality was not as good as Oreck.Is an interesting machine and worth collecting but your thrift store price would be the best way to find.-Happy Vacuuming!

durango159, yes that is a dial a matic.. and the two elite style machines..one is a runnabout and the maroon is an elete that i payed very little for at goodwill. and the hose is a button lock eureka canister hose, electrified.. its for the gray ironside.
compamac, yes i will asap.
and as for the kone...it really is just a sculpture ... when my neigbor saw it he said ... now that looks like a womans sexual toy........needless to say it has been sitting in the way back ever since. lol
oh and the royal is an 886 and i have no idea what the other numbers are.
and there is one more that cannot really be seen ..its a model 61 that is in disrepair..in my case that is.

Surprised to hear you use the Shark Navigator a lot!! Do they really clean that well? Are they better than Hoover Concept and Elites or do you like it because it is more compact and possibly lighter weight? Just curious. I've never tried that model Shark. Thanks!
About the Rainbow which seemingly has the mid-'70s Eureka Roto-Matic Power Team nozzle next to it: I'm wondering if you have the actual Eureka canister that goes with it?

the shark is an ok vacuum. the only reason i use it is because its so easy and quick to use.
the eureka rotomatic power nozzle, i do not have the canister for it but i do use it for the rainbow. it works 10 times better than the original rainbow nozzle.

The Blue Bagged Upright, the one that says Shark I think, were known as Morphy Richards / Goblin Bagged / Bagless Uprights for a while in the UK
