Need help with Royal Everlast

Stan

If you don't mind, would you please post a link to the adapter you purchased on Amazon.com? I have been looking for one for my Royal hose, too. The local vac shop suggested a black adapter they sell that works with Filter Queen & also Panasonic & Riccar/Simplicity uprights. But in this case, it fits the wand & adapts it, but NOT the hose. I was thinking a proper Filter Queen adapter would work though....there used to be a white one with 2 pins that was a generic adapter available thru vac shops....but that has become rather hard to find now.

James - Sorry, couldn't disagree with you more if I tried! If you tried a Kirby G series, in proper working order with a new brush that's been properly adjusted, there's no way you would say it's the better cleaner. The brushrolls available for the Kirby G series don't agitate the carpet nearly as well as the Royal, unless they are set at position 3 for maximum wear. Plus the Royal is on high speed all functions, whereas the Kirby always runs on low speed for carpet cleaning, & the fan on the Royal is METAL & the blades are deeper & move more airflow. And of course, no mini emtor to trap dirt, dirt goes directly into the bag on the Royal. I would much rather wear out the carpet a little faster & know they are properly cleaned.

How does the 8300 self prople system work?

Steve: I guess you didn't fully read my post #16. If you had you would have read that I am successfully using my Kirby attachments on my Royal with an adapter I got from Amazon.com. I had to spend about 10 minutes with a nail file, filing down the small ridge on the adapter so it would fit into the Royal hose.


 


Rob: Here is the link for the adapter on Amazon:

James: I love my Sentria but it does not clean as well as my new Royal 8300. I have done some tests that prove it with sand and coffee grounds. Not only is the Royal much lighter but as Rob says it is always running on high speed all the time. If the brush roll is installed properly, it does indeed sort of self propel itself in the forward direction. Now I cas use all my Kirby attachments on the Royal. I think it is the best carpet cleaner out there with the Sentria in close second place.

Well

<span style="font-family: book antiqua,palatino;">Rob it looks like we disagree. I'd rather have a deep cleaner that deep cleans with out wearing out the carpet quicker

. I still know my carpets are properly deep cleaned with something that's more versatile.</span>


<span style="font-family: book antiqua,palatino;">It would be interesting to see the technical results from CRI and compare them side by side instead of looking at peoples </span><span style="font-family: book antiqua,palatino;"><span style="font-family: book antiqua,palatino;">various</span> home tests on youtube etc. I wonder if they will release the data?</span>

@ sptyks

Sorry.

I had skimmed the message as I was also in a another conversation. Only indicated that they are not interchangeable. Unless of course you locate an adapter as you have. And stated I do have 2 complete sets of attachments.

@veroroger

The two sets of Royal attachments are a charcoal grey color. Both sets are complete with the adaptor to connect to the machine. both chrome metal wands, crevice tool, dusting tool, Furniture nozzle and hard floor/wall brush and attachment box. The only thing I don't have is the belt lifer tool.

All have had some use in a commercial environment. But do show little wear as they weren't used often or abused. And stored in our shop after that. I can post some pictures if you like.

I would be glad to talk price and payment arrangements in private messaging. I don't have a pay pal account as I don't buy and sell on line often enough to justify setting up an account.

Steve.
