Hey, Edgar.
At the moment, I'm wondering if I should have passed this one up!
Nothing against the vacuum. I'm just filled to capacity, and then some. And I was trying to stop buying vacuums, unless it was something to which I had a personal connection. Vacuums from my childhood, etc.
But, this one got into my "ooh...shiny" brain, and I fell for it. I paid $15 for it, by the way. Actually, I think it should have been half price that day, based on the color of the price sticker. But, the cashier said no. So, I ponied up with the full $15. It still didn't seem too bad.
I just came inside from cleaning the mess out of the outer bag. Good night!
See...that's something that would have made for an interesting picture. Did I think to take one? Of course not.
I can confirm, it uses Type B bags, because there was one in there; disconnected from the fill tube. That bag had about an inch of dirt in the bottom of it. But, there was a basketball sized mass of fine dust, hair, and a disconcerting amount of pine needles all packed into the cloth bag. Wearing rubber gloves and an N95 mask, I scooped it out as best I could.
The cloth bag is in desperate need of laundering! At the risk of sounding like a broken record, I'd love to hear from someone who has washed a Royal bag; specifically, a red one. I don't want to ruin it, because it's in really great condition.
