Never ending
Vacuums some of my high end machines .
My 75th anniversary Filter Queen
My 360 SS Majestic Filter Queen
I love Filter Queen but wish they would do more
than color change . The powernozzle is ok but needs
a headlight . Hope the new one is an improvement and
not a color change . I also have a 70th anniversary but
I forget where I put it I'm sure I will find it also have a brown
one with cord winder .

Another pair of
High end machines
My Aura Robo clean I love every thing about this except for the short cord
the cord wonder is a good idea but too short of a cord .
My Tristar Mg2 I love this but same thing color changes nothing substantial to warrant the purchase
of newer models . I have a NIB DXL with the plastic all black newer PN .
I also have 3 NIB compacts the green ones with flowers on side .
Will post more tomorrow

Extraordinary!!
Fantastic collection you have Dan!! Lots of machines that are really great and you've taken such good care of them. Out of curiousity with so many being preserved and protected away, what units do you prefer to use as your daily/ weekly driver?
So glad that you got a new Rainbow!! I've been very impressed with mine. They keep making subtle changes to it over time too. They moved the belt from the middle to the end and gave it a serpentine belt. Any brush roll jams, electrical connections errors, moisture sensing in the wand or hose connections are sent to the computer and power to the hose is immediately shut off!! The dolly was changed to better lock in the basin so that it is easier to align with the motor setup and just recently the side cleaning brushes have been changed some as well!!
Filter Queens are great but I am hoping that the system apparently set to debut to its distributors at the end of May is supposed to have many changes. I'm hoping for a headlight in the power nozzle and also power nozzle better balanced with weight towards the front. Also hoping for redesigned upholstery nozzle so it's more effective on pet hair and hopefully they make the power nozzle and primary unit quieter with better maintained air flow.
Thanks for posting your collection!!! Looking forward to seeing more!

Dysonman:How can one get the synthetic "B" bags for Royals-the dealer near me is stumpted-whenever he talks to the distributer for the area she says you can get those B bags but she says they were sold indivudually for like $8.00 each.Do they come in a package?How many in the package and how much?Been wanting synthetic bags for my Royal metals for a long time-ever since Kirby provided them for their machines.Charging 8 bucks for a bag and selling it by one only sounds really strange to me.I am wondering if that rep has something wrong.

Hi Rob
Thanks for the compliment this is a labor or love I have loved
vacuums since the age of 5 . Managed an Oreck store owned my own
store and sold Rainbows and Kirby's . Worked for Aerus doing repairs
so I have a ton of knowledge plus owning all these vacuums I have learned
to repair every brand in the US . I prefer my high end Kirby's Aerus Rainbows
all Tacony vacuums Orecks and Hoover convertible plus the newer Hoovers I own
windtunnels ect . As my regular vacuums .
Congratulations on your Rainbow move so now do you have to
go back to all the people you sold FQ to and get them to trade in
their FQs on a Rainbow because it's obviously a better machine ?
I would have to go back to all my former clients and say I am sorry
but I sold you the wrong machine this is the "best" nothing beats a
Rainbow . Great way to make some sales since they already know
and trust you . I hope FQ does some changes then I will buy a new
FQ but until then I am done with them for now .
Get out there and replace those FQ sales with new Rainbows
A Rainbow fits you perfectly Rob good move .

Tolivac,
Go to this link at Amazon. 3 EnviroCare Royal Type B micron bags for $5 delivered. The main purchase option show 3 for $5 delivered if you order $25 or $35 off stuff total. But if you look to the right under "more buying choices" you will see a number of sellers who will ship just one packet of bags fo just $5, no need to have the bigger order. It's good to know this about Amazon.com, the best deal is often listed under "more buying choices".
If you want a full Hepa level of filtration, or a larger number of Micron bags to achieve a lower cost per bag, these options are out there on the web too. I own a version of this Hoover, 'Clean and Light' i think mines called, and i happily use these EnviroCare bags in it.

Genuine Royal HEPA Type B bags
Use this link for the 'genuine' article, part number 1-871075-001 Royal bags for max filtration. $2 each plus $6 shipping, no tax. If you buy enough this works out to a decent cost per bag.

No, not cloth Dan...
but both these options are "synthetic". Cloth synthetic? I wonder if an Oreck bag of that type could be adapted, those are often sold at a very good price.

Okay third times the charm?
Would Hoover Type A's work? If so they are easy to find from 3M.

What an awesome collection. I like the variety of machines you have have (Something we have in common) Can't wait to see the rest including your NIB Hoover convertables you told me about.
I have always said you only have the right to judge a vacuum If you A have owned on from new or in perfect working order and B have worked in the industry. You have done both my friend

Dan,
thanks for the patience. If someone is in the market for those type of bags those are good links, especially if they live in a more remote locale. Funny though, I live in the heart of NYC and my only local vac store is the Kmart at Astor Place!
I just looked at my Hoover Clean & Light and noticed the bag has a cardboard dock of some kind so using anything but Type B's would probably be a hassle. I don't use it much now anyway since adding my Kenmore canister last year. Yesterday, for the first time, I called down to PA myself for some other hard to find Hoover parts, brush strips, thanks for the subtle suggestion(s).
Enough talk of bags how about that Robo Clean? How would you compare it to the class standard Rainbow?
And Dan, you got a good start on another monster thread, way ta' go!
