A vacuum built to last,
I borrowed this vacuum from the local repairman while he was servicing my royal power team canister vac. As uprights go, this one is the best I have ever tried. It is solid, sturdy and powerful in brushing and dust collection. The stainless steal parts are top notch and unbeatable in terms of durability. Unlike some other uprights, (the made in china and taiwan models or the old kirbys) the power head doesn’t throw the dust everywhere and the bag and filter are engineered to keep the collected dust contained with minimal leakage.
If I had to use an upright…this would be the one. It will last forever and work like a champ!
Most importantly…this model had my overworn carpets looking like new in no time! I have a long haired kitty that sheds and sheds and sheds everywhere and picking up her dusty hair usually takes many many slow multi-angled sweeps with the other machines.
Excited with the results,
I loaded the heavy thing into my car and also used it on the carpets at our very very dusty, over aged gym carpets. They too were renewed and looking extra fresh after using this upright model!
I had this loaner vaccuum for several weeks while my ancient royal parts were being back-ordered. It was a bittersweet reunion with my cannister vac (purchased in 1995 and still running)as I had to return this upright to its esteemed service center. The owner and his assistant both were so happy to have thier royal upright back in their midst.
I must warn that there are no plastic gadgets and gizmos with this model…but I would trade a shipload of gizmos for this muscle machine any day!

|Still working after 13 years,
I bought my Royal in 1996 and it is still working. A year ago I had to take it tothe dealer and have the bushings replaced in the motor as it was starting to make high-pitched noise. Cost about $30. Other than that, its been great for me.
Now here are the cons: My wife and daughters NEVER liked using it. Yours probably won’t either. Why, because it is heavy and not pretty or trendy. Exactly the reasons that I like it. They are right in one respect: it is noisier than most vacuums and has tendencies to squeak or vibrate a little. So what?
The thing you can count on: it has lots of power to clean the carpet – the primary reason to buy the thing. And it will last for two reasons: it is simple with no doodads; and it its housing and motor are well-built.
My only real concern: my vacuum store guy tells me that the Royal company has been bought by Hoover and they don’t really care to support the Royal line much any more. For instance, I cannot get the micro-type bags for it any more – which I must have to reduce the dust blow-off! So beware if this matters to you.

|Love it,
We’ve owned this vacuum now for 5 years. I bought it b/c I was sick of buying “new plastic” vacuums every 18 months for $200. While this vacuum is expensive, it has never required repair. If you buy it from a royal vacuum shop, you get 5 or 8 year factory warranty and the shops usually offer free cleanings every 6 months.
I drop off a full dirty vacuum and it comes back with the bristles cleaned and a fresh bag and a tune up – free!
It’s all metal – so no cheapie plastic parts breaking off.
AND – it’s suction and cleaning is absolutely fantastic.
