My Royal upright that has been my favorite to use is my 9700. It has the best balance power, quietness and pleasant sound from its 7amp motor, light weight and agility. It has the classic Royal look with nice features of some of the newer models. I like the red color, but I've always wanted the same thing in the beautiful dark blue. Last week I found a 994 on Ebay and bit the bullet. When it arrived, I was surprised to see that it looked 99% like a new vacuum! It has that mirror like shine, the bumper is free of scars, and the brush roll and nozzle interior is spotless. The bag shimmers and clean inside, and even the nozzle decal advertising the 6 year warranty looks like new! It was missing the belt cover but I had the correct one in the right color. According to the serial number it was built in January 1993; I can't imagine ever finding this model brand new, but this nearly is!
