Ok for all of you Decade 80 fans/Royal Fans...and TTI haters for that matter. TTI has finally done something very interesting. They have re-badged a Hoover Decade 80 as a Royal. I finally got a chance to play with the machine today when they released them to dealers. Its not horrible..its not great. The bag change is a bit of a pain (takes a Royal L bag or Hoover Type A). The plastic isn't the same type used back during the Decade Run. The hood is very nice and the LED headlights look really cool. It has a steel lined fan chamber and a metal 4-brush roller. The machine is equipped with an overload protector (seen in the hood-off picture). I took some photos to share with you folks..see below

I agree. It's sad to see a clearly HOOVER looking machi
with a different badge. Why not just slap HOOVER back on it? Some things shouldn't share. I've seen MANY of the new things in a local "Sweeper shop". I know who designed it.. he told me himself. It proves, maybe, that they really only did want the logos, etc....so, I guess it's all just one big clump now. Poor "Boss".

"The decade 80 was sort of the last breath for the conve Fred, tears almost came to my eyes when you say that... And now its rebadged as a royal commercial! To me thats almost like, for example, taking a Kirby and re-badging it as a Dirt Devil. VW | ||

@Bob
I haven't seen any of these metal Royals branded DD, please send a link next time one is on auction. @everyone else- I haven't taken anymore pics as I have been sick with some sort of flulike crap all weekend (karma for my abrasive attitude). As soon as I am able, we will have some pics made for you all. | ||

Not to stir the pot but what's the difference between a Hoover with the Royal name and private label machines such as Western Auto or Penney's? Nicholas | ||
