Are great performing machines, light and powerful and probably the most maneuverable of all machines |

Overall I find uprights best for carpeting and canisters best for hard floors, fragile carpets, and everything above floor. I have many Royals and a few Kirby's that I use for the wall to wall carpeting, and my Compacts, Filter Queens, and Royal tank for everything else. Congratulations on finding a Compact in such excellent condition and at such a great price! I think that they are one of the highest quality and most durable vacuums ever made.

Tania! Give me a call! I've been out of loop for some time...i picked up a Gem thst I wanted to ask you about...talk to you soon I hope!
A compact is great for attachment use. The cyclonic action inside the bag means that they hold their suction virtually forever. I use a TriStar for my bench vac and those bags come out packed like bricks... |
