For those who have knowledge about these two methods Royal offers for height adjustment. Is there really a significant difference or advantage to either? I am considering getting one of the 18" commercial models, and would like to hear some advice on which is preferable. I will be using the vacuum on carpets that are full of dirt and debris, and the spaces I clean aren't furnished so I want to get a good deep clean, and proper height setting is vital. Please give your opinions of which system works more reliably in your experience. Be nice!

Not to hijack
But since we're on the topic of the height adjustments, mine has the toe click system but it slips out of place constantly, so i cut notches into the adjustment bar in hopes that it would "lock" it into position since it was smooth and had nothing to grab onto....it does not. I've been thinking about replacing the system and i'm curious is going to the screw system even an option?

Video's with 18" Royal Commercial
As an addition to this question, I put together this playlist of harder to find video's (for those who haven't seen them anyway). I'll be adding to this playlist here and there.
http://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLCxx5HoWXbw5GpXvomjoBXvsiYZ5QQbzx (for copy/paste fanatics) I'm leaning towards the infinite adjustment as of now, but am still intersted in more feedback. Thanks for all the answers so far! CLICK HERE TO GO TO joerwheeler's LINK | ||

Video's aren't mine!
The video's in the playlist I shared are great videos, but alas they aren't mine, just shared. They do show that hours of vacuuming can still not get all the dirt out of a carpet though. Hopefully a reasonable amount of debris can be removed in a few careful passes, and the rest can be removed with extraction...

Yes,vacuum cleaners do go by the rules of physics-there is no such thing as a machine that removes ALL the dirt at one time.The secret is HOW MUCH it can remove-some machines more so than others we have seen in the videos.The bagless vacuums will do OK--until their filters clog! | ||

I have both, and although the 5 position pedal adjustment is quick and easy, I still much prefer the old knob adjustment. For my carpets, the 5 positions are spaced too far apart. One position is a little too high, the next one is too low. With the knob, I can get it just right! I have experienced slippage with the pedal on a couple of my Royals too.
