I just received this new in box Royal classic power team tank cleaner yesterday. It was brand new, and sent to me by one of the Tacony dealers. It had been in the stock for 20 years, sitting in its box waiting for someone to love it. I had written an article on royal power tanks for the March issue of the vacuum dealers floor care journal, a monthly magazine sent to every vacuum shop in America. The dealer saw my article and decided to send me his last brand new in the box Royal.

No more electronic controls on this model 4750. It was one of the last royal power tanks to be built. Slide variable speed control, and push/push on off switch.

Much simplified handle grip. This one is actually comfortable to use.

~ That's a really nice metal-tank vacuum cleaner and yours is a real treasure. It has terrific suction power. I have one that I modified to suit me. |

That sounds like an awesome machine, would love to see it at the convention. What kind of suction motor does it use? Mike |

I too have that same model, very user friendly, just with they'd thrown on a cordwinder! That's a long assed cord to wrap around a halo! |

We have a blue one, model 408 Power Tank. Didn't have the power nozzle with it when my son bought it, so I picked this one up later. It may or may not be the right one, but it works great. And apparently the cord was replaced before we got it, I'm pretty sure it should be blue. Definitely a great, powerful machine. And congrats to Tom in getting one NIB!

Hi Tom. Does this Royal give your signature Airway a run for it's money as far as power / suction? |

I bought the correct PN and wand with cord. It was even the right color blue. All I need is a replacement left side of the handle and it is restored. I will save the FQ PN for later. |

I bought my first PowerTank from Marty Rocha back in 2005, the LA convention! Its the light blue one with the HMI P/N and the FQ style cuffed hose end and curved upper wand. I love that machine! I was so excited to finally have one of those, and it still brings much joy to use, but there's something to be said about these later models. I got, from Alex Braun, a nice red one like this, but a little older with the speed control on the hose handle. Also a true joy to use, and a much more aggressive carpet experience. |

I've always liked the design of those machines, even though I've never seen one in the flesh. I especially like the 'saddlebag' onboard tool storage. Very functional. If I didn't already have six Electrolux canisters, I might put one on my want list. There's a blue one on eBay right now that's priced fairly reasonably except that it's missing the hose, wand and power nozzle, making it sort of useless.

I do come and admire this post every once in a while, I've gained a love for these. My dream ones are a 4600, or a 4650 because I like the speed control and switch on the handle rather than the speed control on the tank like the 4700. I've seen the dealer demonstration for one of these, and it really is very impressive. I'll be on the lookout for a 4600 preferably from 1997 (on a budget). I'm just weary on finding one with a good motor, I've heard too many bad stories on motor work with these.
