Yesterday I came across another great Goodwill outlet store find, a Royal 4150 in outstanding condition. I already have a nice 4600, but this was too exceptional to pass up, especially when it was offered to me for $9.00! It is free of dents and scratches, and with the help of Mothers metal polish, the two plastic floor nozzles and dusting brush restored nicely. The motors runs like new with no bearing noise, and the suction is very strong! The only down side is that it is missing the matching upholstery and crevice tools in gray. The hunt begins!
The 4150 seems to have had a long production run. This one was built in August of 1997 according to the serial number. Anybody familiar with this model? Was it actually sold as a commercial model? The 3 way power cord is heavy duty like those on Royal commercial uprights. Mike |

That makes two vacuums mentioned that we are being advised not to use the 1 ply vacuum bags. Airway and now Royal tank. Hive mind, what are the others or should I say, should we not ever use singly ply bags in any vacuums? |
