A couple of weeks ago, I discovered this site called caring transactions, which is basically a crude eBay, but has estate sale auctions. I won this, Tuesday night, for $7.38! This must be one of the best, if not the best deal that I have gotten on ANY machine(s). They work incredibly well! They both needed nothing but bag changes, and a bit of cleaning. I used magic eraser pads on the canister. The can vac has the box which shows that these sold ad a pair back in the day, for $400! They are both in great shape. Everything shown came with the deal, as well as an extra
Bag and belt for the upright, and some extra bojack tools. I really like them so far. I didn't realize how small the can vac is. The royal commercial quality upright is lighter and easier to handle than a Kirby, which is why I prefer these royals, over a Kirby. What do you guys think?

The upright was made in August, 1992, and the can vac was made September, 1992. The can vac has Incredible suction, for such a tiny little thing!

Looks like Landlady's Royal canister, I find it very weak, even when she bought it.Bag almost seems like it blocks the fan

Suction isnt the greatest

But it seems to be better than many other compact canisters.

I used to use my Eureka Mighty Mite instead.My blue magic must have double. I would bet her machine is still on its second bag.

I will say, its quality seemed very good, well made.

Very nice finds!! Those Royal uprights look really nice. Out of curiosity what kind of Hoover Celebrity is that? Is the cord winder broken on it or is it wrap storage?

It does not have the cord rewind

So I just wrap it around the canister. The hose, wand , tools and powerhead are in my closet. It is a nice machine!

speaking of celebrity

is that the baby blue model? I used to have one and it was a great cleaner!

It is cream and a bluish- green?

Maybe turquoise? I am color blind to some shades of green.
