Hey
My work was going to throw this out so I asked if I could have it. I now have a royal 1030 commercial edition. I only have pic of plate in pretty good condition. I know it's 10 amp made in China. It's my first royal upright. I have been wanting one for a while.

Les,
Good luck with your 1030! Here's one of the USA-made Royal Commercial uprights that I hope to have in the near future... a model 611 (5.4 amp)! ~Ben | ||

Hey Nice Ben they are really nice solid vacuums. I'd prefer American made but it would free. The brush is 13 inch. My kirby soft belts fit perfectly on it. It's a shake out bag but I seen someone in here convert there's using pvc pipe. I think 2 22.5 degree 2 in pipe then about 10 inch of straight tube maybe another 22 bend with little smaller opening could fit kirby bag on it. Same idea setup for kirby vacuums just pvc instead of fill tubes. It will cost maybe 5 bucks maybe nothing I'm might have extra pvc from putting in bathroom. Les | ||

Hey
I knew of royal and kirby vacuum. I just remember not having a kirby as we were too poor and royal I had seen just didn't know much about. About 5 years ago my mother in law bough us a kirby 3/4 had mismatched parts. We have a lab that is indoor dog. We had cheap Walmart garbage before never worked well. We got the kirby. It picked up all the pet hair. Ever since then I have been a fan. The vacuum is heavy but Im a big guy so it didn't bother me. Then my work had royal I received. I tried it and it was as impressive as kirby the belts are a little of a pain but it's really an awesome vacuum. I love kirbys but metal royals I'm starting to love just as much. It is violent almost the power and suction. I think kirby is violent too but it's got alot more vacuum around it and sucks directly. Royal is a little higher is maybe why I think it tells the dirt get in the bag or I'm putting you in the bag.. I don't know just my thoughts. Les | ||

@sptyks The machines I had were used for commercial cleaning. As we all know few people take care of their machines much less those that they don't personally own. As I said the earlier models held up well. The later models seem to go down more often. | ||

Hey
The big corporation bought new Royal Plastic vacuums. The store I work at opened in 2009 and this was the vacuum. Received royal plastic vacuum looks alot like Hoover upright. Nobody knew how to maintain vacuum. I found it made sure wasn't thrown away. It wasn't wore out because nobody maintained it just left full bag and clogged nozzle. I used there new plastic vac and had cleaned up in 5 minutes. It's a shakeout bag but the motor is powerful. Let the have plastic vac I'll keep metal vac long after plastic vac dies.

Ben
I ordered my new brush roll. I went to wash bag and I found it has a bag assembly already. So my work was using it as shake out bag when it has a fill tube.
Ben does the magic finger belt installer make it easier putting on belts. I haven't had any issues putting belts on. Well I got bag cleaned and patching small hole in the bag. In a week I'll have new brush roll bag assembly with same white hepa bags as kirby sentria 2 take. So if I thought it had power with bad brush roll and no bag I can't wait to see it to its full potential. I've been thinking about YouTube videos does it cost anything to have a channel. I have some sweet vacuums and some cool ideas I'd like to share. Thanks Les | ||

Thanks Ben! Wasn’t quite sure where it was made as it said “Assembled in USA”. Didn’t know it was also made here. | ||
