Something Missing I can't figure out how to use the bare floor brush, when attach the brush it won't sit on the floor it needs elbow, or is there supposed to a different set of wands that are used for the bare floor brush? Jim | ||

Hi Jim,
That's a couple nice machines you have there, and what a great deal, too! We have a Royal Power Tank just like it with the same power nozzle. As for the floor brush, the choice is yours. You could either get a pair of curved wands to use with the floor brush, or get a floor brush with an elbow to use with the straight wands, they were made both ways, with the curved wands being later, and straight being newer.

Power Tank Jeff, do you use the cloth bag or the paper bags in your power tank? I was able to use the elbow from my Kirby attachments. Any idea what the age of this machine is, just curious? Jim | ||

The Electrolux is prettier, but the Royal will beat the pants off of it in terms of suction power. | ||

P.S. The Electrolux is missing the "halo" for storing the cord. It's very much like the one on the Royal but chrome-plated.

Or it should have the optional automatic cord winder. Here, btw, is an original ad for the AE.

Bags
On the Royal and Electro-Hygiene tanks you use BOTH--the paper bag goes inside the cloth bag. You can, however, use the cloth bag alone and empty it, but NEVER use the paper bag without the cloth bag. As for the age, I'm thinking 1980's, or maybe 90's. I do know that earlier ones didn't have the tool caddy or power nozzle, and were called a pony tank instead of power tank. Originally the pony tank was the smaller, lower priced machine that sold next to the full sized tank, but eventually the full size Royal tanks were discontinued, and the pony tank became the ONLY tank, but by that time they were just as powerful as the full size models. You can pick up a 16# bowling ball with it--I've done it before! By the way, here's a picture of my Electro-Hygiene 966 to give you an idea of what the full size machines looked like. Jeff
