Just picked up this lovely little Royal! These are “before” pictures, as it’s going to be taken apart, cleaned and polished up. I’m very surprised it came with this power nozzle, and it works beautifully!

Les... 6amps tank, 7amps with PN. It has EXCELLENT suction!
The Lewyt I gave away, just never really warmed up to it. The 597 power nozzle I have to agree is one of the best ever made. It almost rips the rug straight out of the floor! Well, maybe I exaggerated, but it lifts it the way a Kirby does and cleans beautifully! I’m having a lot of fun with this machine. I ordered bags and a filter on Amazon the other day and they were supposed to arrive yesterday, but didn’t. Hopefully today. The machine does have a relatively clean bag already in it, but I’d prefer a fresh one. So far I’m very happy with this machine, especially the power nozzle! |

Awesome piece from the early '80s, Chris. It's one thing to have such a rare attractive vintage specimen, but the fact that it's such a stellar performer, too, is very cool. Congrats! |

...or are they bypass? I've never seen a Royal canister in the flesh, much less apart. |
