 I have started a new cleaning ability test series. I have one clear narrow see through tube with 140 millimeters of sand what I put to the each vacuum. Carpet is always being reset with the Miele C3 & Sebo ET-1 ph. It has done excellent job doing that. So after I have made sure that the carpet is fully clean I put 140 mm sand for each vacuum and measure how much they was able to pick up. Kirby G6 did something new. So far results are: Electrolux Precision 126mm out of 140mm Dyson DC40 mkII 124mm out of 140 Miele C3 with the straight suction nozzle 30mm out of 140mm Nilfisk GM80 with the turbo brush 91mm out of 140mm Now comes the Kirby. Not only it was able to pick everything up, but it also picked up what others leaved behind. So I am literally stunned. Miele wasn't able to pick up well as I thought. This test has made my mind to really understand how good the Kirby really is. | ||

 I know of only one other vacuum cleaner that can out clean any Kirby on carpet and that is my 10 amp Royal Everlast 8300. The airflow and agitation is so great that even if the machine is stationary, particles of Oatmeal will bounce around and gravitate toward the floor nozzle from up to 2 feet away!
What an awesome cleaning machine! The only downside is that it is rather loud. | ||

Absolutely the vacuum I ever used! Plus, I know people like to have separate canisters but I really like to use them with the hose.
@sptyks Do they still make the everlast with the headlight? I've looked on their website and the advertisement shoes it but the page for the vacuum doesn't. Also, about how much do cost? | ||

Mariotron,
Sadly, Royal no longer makes the 8300. Mine was made in 2008 and it retailed for around $750.00 at that time.
I was browsing ebay yesterday and saw a brand new, still In Box, Royal Everlast 8300 exactly like mine and they want $400.00 for it which is probably worth it considering it is NIB. I was tempted to buy it because it bay be worth even more in a few years.

Here is a used one for $200.00:

Royal Filtration just as good as Kirby... I use the Royal Type B synthetic HEPA bags in my Royal 8300 so I get the same filtration as the Kirby HEPA bags in my Royal. Filtration down to 0.3 microns.
I will have to say that the Royal Type B synthetic filterete HEPA bags are quite expensive, even on ebay. They are about $6.50 each or $13.00 for a 2 pack. However they do last a long time.
