love my Royal cannisters
I have a old Royal 413 and a newer Stark/Royal 4650 and I love what they do for the carpet and that I can get under and around most everything. Been wondering and considering a Royal upright if a good enough deal shows up and after seeing those photos maybe one would be a worthy addition.
The uprights show up a lot more often then the canisters and usually for a premium price though certainly not always.
I paid 200 for my 413 almost new about 90, and a few years ago found the 4650 for 25 needing a new hose.
I also use a cordless bagless upright for touch ups and quick clean ups and a Orek handheld with attachments for bigger but not quite main vacuum messes.
