Saw one of these at a vac shop today. It is an Oreck which has been re-branded as a Royal. Somewhat shocking.
This vacuum kind of reminds me of an old Oreck/Whirlpool/CVR kind of vacuum, especially because of its monochromatic color scheme and bag. The bag is some kind of plasticized cloth and lacks the traditional oreck markings: the stripe and bag trim at the bottom. Instead, it just has a very boxy look with a big metal zipper. Even though its a sad, confused vacuum, I kind of like it. CLICK HERE TO GO TO broomvac's LINK | ||

This is a dealer-only vacuum at the curent time being, but there is one and only website it's for sale at right now for $199.99.
www.statevacuum.com/royal... Also it seems like Royal is selling badge-engineered Eurekas as well. www.amazon.com/Royal-Comm... This looks like the fallout from Royal's buyout of Oreck that happened in 2013. www.timesfreepress.com/news/busin... | ||

I didn't know Eureka and Royal worked together. | ||

The Tempo has always been available under 100.00 IIRC. TTI throws on a commercial cord, calls it a "commercial" model and jacks the price up. Way to go TTI, all about the money and no improvements to make it worth the increase. | ||

I think the story is more complicated. A year or two after it was launched, the $100 Hoover Tempo lost its headlight and its bag check indicator. It was also made in China. This Royal seems to be made in the USA and now has the headlight and bag check indicator like the original Tempo. It seems it has better urathane wheels instead of basic plastic. It would be interesting to do a side-by-side detailed comparison.

I think the eureka royal you may be referring to is actually a rebranded Hoover tempo wide path. Royal and Hoover are now owned by TTI, so it should come as little to no surprise that the companies are using each other’s designs.
