Not me--the machine is in too poor a condition to be worth $999--and the other question---does it work??? |

He doesn't even have the years it was made correctly. The Royal Standard was not the first model (I have the first model in the Vacuum Museum). His machine also has the wrong cord and bag.
There are some real idiots on eBay who are very optimistic about the price they ask for old cleaners. There's a Kirby 505 for $3000 on there (someone just wants to show off). When I want to laugh - I go to the vacuum cleaner category and refine the search for price highest first. It's a RIOT. |

Cloth bag, paper bag, "handisac", is some sort of a bag. A new, "bagless' OR your Rainbows, Filterqueens, etc have NO bag. thus: bagless. However, for instance, on a HOOVER "Brushvac", you open the 'cup', and there is a bag-like apparatus. I know some "Pixies", etc had an "optional" bag setup.
But, that's getting picky. So, yep, if there is a BAG on a cleaner, I'm thiking it's safe to say it is NOT "bagless". |

But...what's connected to the dirt container...?
If the dirt went directly into the Sani Em-Tor without the need for a bag on top, then I'd agree. But the fact of the matter is, the tray is just an easier way to empty the bag without taking it off. You still have to shake the contents of the bag into the Em-Tor. |
