Your Royal M5000 would be a 1992 model, because of the cord being the same color as the rest of the trim; these came with gray cords before then, and the very first M5000s did not have the switch guard on the handle.

Cool thanks for the info Ben. I love it. It matches my Royal 9700 upright too. I had no idea my M5000 was that new

I bought a couple DD120's

and bought the conversion kit to use disposable bags on one and left the other as a shake out. Racked up a ton of hours on them back then and they still run pretty good to this day. Never worked on, just maintained. The brush rolls still have 90% length on bristles. The cloth bags are worn on the bottom from constant contact with carpet, and one has begun to screech, the motor. Easy to replace the motors in these. I really didn't think these would go so long. Used primarily for carpeted stairs and sofa cushions.Dark Green med. plush carpets and a Golden Retriever who sheds volumes of fur need constant attention! Nice collection.

I love Dirt Devil Hand Vacs. They’re cute little machines. I have a couple of them. When I was a tot, my grandmother gave me her Hand Vac 103. I remember using it to vacuum clippings that fell from the Christmas tree. Aside from the 103, I also have the 500 Series one that has the cool looking red print on the black bag.

I have quite a few dirt devil/royal vacs.
I have blue platinum force, 501 baby blue, I have one like the first four you have, a yellow bag, I think a black with green bag, black/red 1950s to match my upright.
I have quite a few. There solid consistent vacuums.

Nice collection!

I have a nice condition jade green plus with all the tools and box. The box does have tape on it but hey its hard to find anyway. The only issue with the vac is that the part that holds a screw in is broken. It has some scotch tape on the part of the handle where it is broken. Would you be interested?

Would $25 not counting shipping be ok? BTW if we go through Offerup the shipping will be between $3 and $11 dollars due to reduced shipping costs. I have a good sized box for it too. Feel free to email.
