Hello everyone!
I am proud to share with you all my new YouTube channel, VacuuMotion! I plan to upload not only vacuum refurbishments, but also tell the stories behind and demonstrate most, if not all, of the vacuums in my collection. To help grow the channel, I am accepting video requests from you all. If you would like to see me demonstrate any of the vacuums I have shared here on Vacuumland, please let me know here or on my channel. I look forward to (hopefully) growing a channel like the rest of you YouTube greats! It should be fun! Linked below my first two videos, one refurbishment and one demonstration. broomvac aka VacuuMotion |

Finding the Royal vacuum in the Goodwill "reject" pile---shows how stupid gen public is when it come to good vacuums.Only a good "vacuumist" such as one of us recognizes how good the Royals are!!Great find!!!The gen public is so focusted on the bagless plasticrap machines. |

Thanks for posting them, I'm a big Royal upright vac fan so I appreciate your effort in making a good video about it!!
I think the S7 is essentially the same as Miele's U1 upright model....if not, I'd be interested in learning the differences . I own one and like it to a point....it doesn't have the airflow #'s for deep cleaning ( the consensus points to this who've tested them) and they are heavy on the arm to use them, but, I do like them for their relative quietness....and easy function of onboard tools. This works fine for overall, b/c I have deeper cleaning machines to make up for the shortcomings of the U1. |

@tolivac -- I agree; people today don't seem to appreciate Royal vacuums anymore. Most who came across this vacuum probably thought that it was a lot older than it really was. Thank you!
@rivsg1 -- Thank you! I'm pleased to hear that you enjoyed the Royal video, too! As for the differences between the S7/U1: honestly, I have no idea! Prior to finding my S7, I had never owned a German vacuum and was actually on the hunt for one. When I saw the opportunity to have this one, I jumped on it because surely even a ruined Miele would be worth what I paid. It was a spur-of-the-moment purchase and I knew very little about the vacuum. I still do, but I'm very thankful to have it! Perhaps Patrick or someone else here could fill us in on the differences between the S7 and the U1. Off looks alone, I would guess that they are close to identical. @Patrick First off, huge thank you! Your enthusiastic support means a lot to me. I look forward to getting more comfortable speaking to the camera and uploading more videos soon. I enjoy seeing your vacuums, too, because you seem to have an interesting, well kept collection. Your Miele looks downright luxurious. New Royals are expensive, indeed. The current CR5128Z, which, feature-wise, is identical to my 1020Z, will set you back $400 at some retailers today. I like the vacuum, but it wouldn't be in my house today if it cost me much more than the $5 I paid for it. I'm always open to suggestions! CLICK HERE TO GO TO broomvac's LINK |

First off thank you so much for using a tripod! I will just comment the way that you removed the motor cover without first removing the wheels it's pretty problematical. Not proper service technique . You can break the rear cover by doing this. Of course on a $30 used vacuum who cares?

Thank you! I'm a fan of your channel, so it's nice to hear from you.
I wasn't aware that I was running the risk of breaking anything. Where would it have broken? Honestly, it was incredibly straightforward to get the rear cover off; there were 5 (maybe 6?) screws holding on, and once they were out, the cover just lifted off without binding. After I properly timed the rear wheel gears--big teeth on vacuum body into big valleys on the rear wheel pinion gears--it refitted like a glove. I can see how removing the rear wheels could ease the timing, but I could spot the teeth well enough from the rear of the nozzle that it wasn't a problem. |
