BEST VACUUM CLEANER ST. LOUIS, MISSOURI

[@cleancarnivore]

Clay, I am a carpet cleaner and know the value vacuuming a carpet before cleaning in order to remove the maximum dry soil before wetting the carpet. This is an informative video, well done. Great consumer education.

[@rubiconoutdoors3492]

Is there good money in that? Thought about doing it on the side.

[@GodRam1988]

Rubicon Outdoors yes you can make a great living cleaning carpets if you are fair and provide good service! Carpet cleaner here in New Jersey. Educations, equipment, chemistry, and good customer service and you will be golden. There are a lot of splash and dash carpet “cleaners” that give us a bad name.

[@whelenvortexr4]

I just bought a Sanitaire Tradition Sc688, I love that thing. I also have a Miele S7 which has been collecting dust in the closet since my Sanitaire arrived

[@jodyhahn825]

Bought a Kirby years ago because it was worth the extra money to get a METAL one. Awhile later while vaccuming, it sucked up a small flat-head screw which got stuck by the metal fan and broke off a fin. Machine didn't work. Took it to a Kirby dealer, 3 weeks later still waiting on parts. I finally got it back at the end of the 4th week and to my surprise it wasn't covered under the lifetime warranty and the replacement fan was now plastic because so many fans had to be replaced for this reason. The salesman sold me a lifetime warranty but it was a sales pitch only. Learned my lesson. Never a Kirby or Royal again. I'll stick to Dyson or Shark.

You are very welcome brother. There will always be few out there who bought two or three vacuums in their life time proclaim that they are experts on vacuums, verses a professional who sold and repaired thousands of vacuums in his life time.

[@stephenielane3954]

I'm very impressed with the presentation, the presenter and the product!

[@vacuumtests9225]

This is very good and infomercial video. Biggest flaw in those vacuums with the hose is the inlet. It is like what they were thinking designing it that way. Also airflow have to go through the long narrow hose doesn't help things either. Inlet in the center, smooth large air channel to the center and chevron brush roll to guide everything to the center would help alot. My Miele powerhead has all these things what help it perform better than those with the flawed design. And yes I know that it can't compete with the Royal or any other direct air vacuum.

[@gigismith5885]

Outstanding demonstration! I will definitely buy the Royal, I don't care how it looks. Thank You.

[@Colt45sWITHLando]

Thank you for your endorsement. So many people are quick to think that just because it is an "old" design than it is inferior. It is a proven design that actually works, and works for many years.

[@HugDealer]

Can the Royal metal work on tiles and hard wood floors?

[@steeltag]

Rossana Motta definitely. Just disconnect the belt and it’s a straight suction machine ( aka brushroll not be utilized)

[@jordanjohnson7264]

I can't believe stores like this still exist! Anyway, great video.. Thanks

[@fentonsewnvac]

We do exist and we offer high quality and better cleaning vacuums than you can buy at your local Mega Mart. We also can service the vacuums we sell. All too often the major brands spend all of their money on advertising and skimp on the quality and performance. We like to call those Mcvacuuums. While its true that McDonalds sells more hamburgers than anyone else, it's certainly arguable that they don't make the best Burger. Chances are the Bar & Grill down the street have a much better burger and better service. Just because it's well known and conveniently located doesn't mean it's the best product on the market. Most Vacuums today are disposable 3-5 year vacuums that don't clean all that well and just wind up in a landfill. Thank you for your compliments on our video and next time your in the market for a long term, good quality and better cleaning vacuum, check out your local dealer.

[@sweeperstore]

Very good video about the difference between airflow and suction, in any vacuum cleaner.

[@pekkaT13]

Brilliant demo. I have a 21 year old electrolux (Epic, canister type, sweedish make) and is showing performance problems. Spent about $200.00 two months ago with no major improvement. About the Royal unit .. how long can it last (hopefully 30 years), cost, maintenance ? I don't care about its appearance.

[@sebo_man_2072]

Riccar makes vacuum with clean air and direct air motors all in one unit they are called tandem air vacuum. It has a hose on it but since it has a direct air system in it and a clean air it cleans really good.

[@mikejames1860]

[@opmike343]

Really no comparison. There's a reason you'll never see something like a Dyson in a commercial application at like a hotel, restaurant, etc., but that doesn't stop the LEGIONS of Dyson fanboys from frothing at the mouth every time their vacuum cleaner comes up short in a comparison.

[@electroluxlad]

Yes DYSON is all MARKETING and cheap OVERPRICES PLASTIC CRAP

[@sandylister]

[@ginasharrett2674]

I bought a cms 1000 bagless Amway vacuum cleaner I think 1987 in australia, even though I was a Dist., this vacuum cleaner would leave anything for dead, it had its faults as any new product would, we tested it against other popular cleaners , by letting them vacuum first then go over the same spot , suck up another 30% more dirt, great machine in those days, never thought the Dyson was that good.

[@zmanifest]

9:11 no machine ever beat the Royal to the paper towel roll test, not even the Riccar Raidiance despite having both a direct air and bypass motor!

[@GINGERGARY1]

Thanks for the info. Very helpful. I have two dogs and have noticed that if there is a rubber strip around the beater bar, it scrapes the dog hairs up much better. What do you think?

[@nightmarecivic]

We use to have one just like your Royal from Kirby, vacuumed with it right before we vacuumed with our brand new Dyson. The Dyson was able to pickup a full canister full over the Kirby. We now have two Dyson animals with no problems and no more Kirby.

[@electroluxlad]

once dyson breaks its not cheap to fix and there all plastic

[@149281]

You can reverse the test and the Kirby will pick up "more" stuff after 30 or more passes with the Dyson. Those types of tests are bogus and are not indicative of vacuum quality. I own a Dyson and Kirby, for the record. Each has its place, but the Dyson will never be a commercial grade appliance.

[@electroluxlad]

if you want me 2 do that i can on friday

[@robwalton2007]

Luke Davis Luke, just so you know, for the record, Dyson did produce overseas in Europe a commercial model called the DC04 Constantmax. So yes, a Dyson could be regarded a commercial qrade vacuum. Remember, there are varying degrees of commercial vacuums on the market. Hey, believe it or not, Bissell BigGreen Commercial has the bagged Bissell Powerforce upright that used to be sold in Walmart as a commercial grade vacuum now!

[@mhtube01]

This is a great video about how vacuums work. Sort of reminds me of the difference between my older Eureka ESP and my mom's ten year old Oreck. The Oreck is direct air like my Eureka but it doesn't have nearly the agitation since mine has the Vibra Groomer II metal beater bar vs a wooden roller brush. The Eureka also seems to have better airflow from it's design and it has a lot more suction from it's 7 amp motor. Orecks are about 4 amps. I like the bypass demo in this video, that's a huge difference. Shame Eureka doesn't stick to their roots, their old vacuums were some of the best out there.

[@tinawhite9810]

Santaire is a good choice 👍 they use to built by Eureka . I own a old school Santaire upright. & got the old school metal beater bar with replaceable brush strips !

[@jmdennis1967]

[@electroluxlad]

you can get them so time at yard sales of 15 bucks or less

[@wildbill23c]

electrolux lad Yep, or even free because people are too lazy to pick them up. They think the cheap $40 plastic vacuums are great because they can pick them up with their pinky but in the end the landfills are full of them because they just don't last like the heavier built to last vacuums LOL. I keep my eyes out for a Kirby or Royal as I'd like to get another one. My grandmother's 1961 Kirby finally died last year, the motor finally gave up.

[@electroluxlad]

true

[@guitarplayerforu]

great demo, would be interesting to see a video where the royal is compared to a modern Dyson such as the DC40(2015), they are far better than the 1 in the video. Agitation on the dc40(2015) is superb, it bounces all the dirt and draws it into the head like the royal was doing in the video, also when you recline the Dc40(2015), the airflow goes straight into the cleaner head rather than going through a hose. The older Dyson's wasn't half as good as the modern ones are. Don't know what the Dyson dc40(2015) is like in the usa but here in the UK its brilliant.

[@JackstersH]

Hello. What do u think about d Rainbow vacuum?

[@famousutopias]

Bought a Royal metal with brush stiffener & attachment kit in 1992. It's used weekly in a 1800 sf home. I wax it once a year, lubricate it every few years and it still looks and works like new. When pulling up the old wool/horsehair carpet there was no dust in the air. The Royal cleans below the surface. Only vac I've used that pulls sand from carpet and picks up kleenex, store receipts, luan ply chips, fluorescent lamp glass and moist plaster flakes (!) effortlessly. Pet hair? No problem.

[@ilrimpianto]

Hi Clay. What is your opinion on water filtration vacuum cleaners such as the Rainbow?

[@Dcc357]

I wonder how a Miele S7 stacks up to a Royal when it comes to airflow. S7's are almost like shop vacs at 141 cubic feet per minute.

[@chargalant]

True "old-school" uprights like these (Royal/Kirby) have always been the best performers, as were Hoover Convertibles of the 50's/60's. The problem was the use of above-floor attachments; they were either hard to convert to or they had poor suction. Hence the crappy vacuums of today with the on-board hoses.

[@wildbill23c]

Why did Hoover call some of those vacuums Convertibles? What were they referring to?

[@jimdavidson5208]

So the old Hoover model 66 like I have, central air flow, beater bar for agitation and great cleaning power is what we need. Ok, I got one.

[@KipBurbank1]

That was pretty clear. Hard wood floor only. I was thinking canisters, no agitation, no ?

[@OneCoolDude08]

I used to sell Kirby's and with their sales training I learned how to sell ice to eskimos. I didn't like the shady sales tactics and I didn't feel like I was giving people a good value for their money, so I quit that job. Kirby vac's used to be built like tanks, but it seems that with every new model that it has less metal parts swapped out with plastic. For them it appears profit is more important than quality.

[@socialmoth4974]

Thanks for the demo. But, what if you have carpeted stairs? That's where a hose comes in handy.

[@tammyo8462]

Great video Clay! I learned a lot. I desperately need to get a new vacuum that works well on dog hair- specifically straight dog hair that is between 1-2" long. It tends to work its way into carpet and furniture fibers more than wavy dog hair. I also have 2 teens. My floors are a mix of hardwood, a large 8'x11' rug, and carpet (stairs, bedrooms). I have a Miele upright which works well on the hardwood but it pulls up too much on the rug making it is too difficult to move around. I also need something with attachments to vacuum my furniture and stairs. I'd also prefer one vacuum for all, if possible, and not to switch between the Miele for hardwood and another for rugs/carpet. On a local community FB page I put the request out for recommendations from pet owners for favored vacuums. The most recommended was the Shark Pro and then one person said they had and loved the Sanitaire, which I had not heard of, but I've since looked up. I see you referred to the Royal which my parents had when I was growing up. Sounds like the Sanitaire ranks up there with the Royal, agree? Thoughts on the Shark Rotator? Thoughts on finding a Royal quality vacuum with attachments?

[@kerprice]

[@HosCreates]

Thank you for the information! I was looking at a Riccar and a Miele and I couldn't decide in store so I decided to do some research

[@susanhopemason]

My parents used to have both an Electrolux canister and an Upright Kirby. I know that Royal is one of the best, but so are Electrolux and Kirby. My parent's Electrolux--back in the 60's, could suck up a sock with the greatest of ease, and it was built like a tank. I would never buy a plastic vacuum cleaner. I would buy any of the three I mentioned above--as long as they are made of metal.

[@wclay8]

Yes, the caddy vac used a direct air motor, although not a great piece. It's based on the older Hoover Elite models. Yes we do have Kirby's in the shop and YES we have tested the them against the Royal. I have even had a Kirby distributor come in to the store and "challenge" our Royal against his Kirby. He left with his tail between his legs. I will say this one time only: NO VACUUM CLEANER WILL CLEAN CARPET LIKE A ROYAL METAL!

[@eugenefernandez4672]

Good job guys!

[@oscarlightnerjr278]

That was for a reason. With the metal vacuum you made sure to put the saw dust down first and closer to the wall, then the pink powder on top of that saw dust. The saw dust is easier to pick up plus helps lift the bright pink fine dust

[@dbboland04]

[@panasonicvac4036]

A high end bagged canister or a central vac are my recommendations.

[@ttgobe6359]

Which vacuum cleaner is more effective: upright or backpack?

[@oldgoldtop]

I have owned Kirby and Royal but preferred my 20 year old Electrolux "Lux4000" for the convenience of board tools used with the detachable hose. The direct air (Kirby/Royal) required occasionally replacing a rubber drive belt for the agitator which could be difficult. The hose on the Lux4000 allows easy edge cleaning and can get into small spaces and above floor as well. Though a hose (and sling) could be attached to the others, it was just not convenient and required much more time and effort. I have used baggless vacuums like Dyson but prefer the bagged models which are much less messy. I am shopping for my first vacuum after 20 years because the LUX4000 no longer turns on. I see Proteam makes something similar but am not certain if it will have the same quality as my Electrolux. Hose models need to have few bends and be easy to clear if clogged. Also a separate motor for the beater with the switch located on the handle.

[@WJCTechyman]

oldgoldtop From what I heard about the Perfect Power Team it is a good machine, uses Ametek Lamb motors which has been used by commercial and central vacuum companies for quite a while, most portable carpet extractors and most vacuum cleaner power nozzles use them too.

The only problem with my Rainbow Vacuum is that it didn't have the powered brush roll, otherwise it is awesome. I use it quite often for cleaning out my car, and doing small cleaning tasks around the house. My Rainbow vacuum is 30+ years old and still works just as good as it did when it was brand new, no loss of power or suction. Then again I maintain it too unlike many people who just buy stuff and abuse it then wonder why it stops working LOL.

[@electroluxlad]

William Todd it is not very use full because you are putting crap into the water

[@wildbill23c]

electrolux lad LOL, same goes for the dirt you dump in the garbage out of a baggless system, or throw a bag in the trash from a bagged vacuum. I'd rather dump the water out, not to mention the Rainbow's system is far superior to any other HEPA system out there. The rainbow traps all allergens in the water so they cannot remain airborne.

[@NickWilkes5166]

electrolux lad Actually that makes it very useful because "Wet dirt can't fly". Once the dust and debris is in the water, it can't escape. And if for some odd reason that dust does escape the newer rainbows have HEPA filters. William Todd the newer Rainbows do have powered brush rolls :)

[@CupMasterAsh]

if a vacuum is a canister vacuum, are some direct air AND bypass since it goes up the middle but also through a hose?

[@wildbill23c]

Its kind of a combination of both I assume. With the hose you have some restriction in suction due to the hose designs, but its not as bad as having the suction on one side of the nozzle or the other like many of the new vacuum designs have. I think a lot of it has to do with cost cutting to make the vacuums cheaper so they just do what is cheapest and throw the hose on the side and call it a day LOL.

[@yingcaiwu1982]

I have three questions. First, how does the Royal Everlast series compare in both airflow and agitation to the Tristar (let's go with MG3 for specifics)? Secondly, I know that too much agitation can eventually start tearing out carpet fibers--how does the Royal perform in that respect (I heard that Riccars can definitely start tearing up carpets). Thirdly, do you know if the new LG Kompressor series (upright or canister) have good agitation?

[@Oneness100]

Can you discuss the Royal canister vs the Miele canister? Which one is better for picking up dirt?

[@mhtube01]

I guarantee that people won't buy that Royal over the Dyson because of the way it looks. It doesn't look 'sleek and futuristic" it looks "old and heavy." Unfortunately, that's what our society has become. We care far more about how things look or sound over how they actually work. People today are just stupid. That Dyson could never stand up to any type of commercial use that most of those Royal, Kirby, Sanitaires, etc. can. Even though the store sells Dyson, there's no way they could deny that.

[@russelllow4073]

I agree with you. People do care about how their vacuums look. I don't really like how the new vacuums look.I like how the older vacuums look and how Kirby,sanitaire, and royal are the only one that still make the older design of vacuums.

[@mhtube01]

+Russell Low Yeah I don't like the look of new vacuums either, they all look cheap and overly complicated. You're right, those are the only companies who still make the tried and true direct air design. Some other companies make direct air vacs but the motors are smaller and they just don't work as well. Vacuums shouldn't be complicated machines, the old design is simple but works extremely well.

[@russelllow4073]

+mhtube01 yup I have all three brand Kirby,sanitaire, and Royal vacuums and the are amazing. My aunt owns one of those shark lift away vacuum but had to take it to the repair shop once and I let her use my sanitaire and she loved it and now she might buy one. Riccar make direct air systems too and I heard that they are really good vacuums but I don't own one so I don't really know.

[@mhtube01]

Yeah I hear good things about Riccar too. The Radiance is a nice vacuum and has a direct air motor and a bypass motor in one vacuum which is cool so it works well on carpets and has tools. It's an expensive vacuum but looks like it's good quality. People even say the Supralites are great for how light they are and have more power than Orecks do and much better agitation.

[@russelllow4073]

+mhtube01 that's cool I look up radiance right now and they are cool. I believe that they call that kind of a system tandem air. I might go down to my vacuum shop and check one out.

[@TrojanHorse1959]

You forgot to tell people that that "agitation" by the Royal bounces dirt and dust particles into the air and that the heavy brush action that causes that agitation also wears out and damages their carpets a lot faster. There's also the continuous cost of buying bags and the loss of suction and airflow from the instant you start vacuuming and the inside of the bag is coated with minute dust particles. Bagged vacuums are just ancient technology that never worked very well from the very beginning. How old was that Dyson? Was it packed full of hair and lint? I know my DC17 Animal Dyson would pick that up with minimal effort just like the Royal AND I still have the detachable hose to use in places and on things you can't reach with the Royal. Thanks for the video, but no thanks, I'll keep my Dyson.

[@GodRam1988]

Trojan Horse 86 lol even with a full bag on a royal it will out clean your empty Dyson and that powerful agitation is what saves your carpet by pulling the sand out that actually grinds away at the carpet, and the bouncing allergies into the air is not true, the airflow is so strong on my royals that it will pull dirt into the vac that isn't even near the head of the vacuum

[@Metalwhore89]

Do you still sell the metal "Royal" or some variation of it shown in this video? I went to the web-site, but didn't see the Royal brand listed.

[@fentonsewnvac]

Sorry Matt but they no longer make the Royal metal upright. Thanks for asking though.

what's with the Royal Powercast RY9100 as well as the Royal Commercial products?

[@alexanderavgoulas4062]

Respect from a Kirby guy. Kirby is the whole home care system with the best airflow/agitation/suction but you can’t sell the new from your store, and royal is the next best. Although it has not shampooing ability or canister attachments that I know of, it is the next best and you could sell other machines at a better margin, but you obviously care more about quality. Thank you sir.

Rips the fuck out of it; watch what you empty out of the bag.

I have Eureka Boss, and I do not have to put the hose for it work on floor. I can remove the hose and vacuum works on floor all I have to do to switch it to floor from hose.

No problem! If you are looking for a Royal, and can't find one locally, we ship them with free shipping!

[@typedeaf]

I feel like you are probably making a huge generalization about bypass cleaners. There are probably many bypass type cleaners that have the hose either connect directly to the center of the suction section, or they have the air flow routed to the center. Is this not true? If it is true, then the suction would as uniform as the direct type, correct?

[@fentonsewnvac]

kirby is a direct air vacuum and cleans very well. The differance is that the Royal is lighter and less expensive. The Royal is also better quality, more metal parts like the fan, switch and cord release just to name a few.

Pick up a penny with that metal fan and you'll take a piece out of it. Speaking from experience with my old Kirby. They replaced it with a firm rubber fan...
