Runnin' and ready for action! Unfortunately it has a bad case of the burned out headlight. I'll have to overcome my laziness and find a new bulb someday...

You will LOVE it !! I have quite a few both new and old in my collection and they are all fantastic. If you look at my profile you will see my collection listed. I hope you are getting a 4000 because it is a fabulous Vacuum. | ||

I Agree, Royals Are Hard To Beat!!
However, the older ones ARE much quieter. They have kind of a sweet zoom sound instead of roaring at you like the new ones do. But they're ALL powerful, maneuverable, durable, fairly lightweight and well balanced machines, not to mention darned nice looking!! And actually, the 880 had quite a long production run, I think into the early 80's, and was made both as a Royal and as an Electro-Hygiene. The EH 880 looks the same as the Royal 880, except the adjust-o-rite, cord, handle grip, and headlight and nozzle guards will be red, and the bag will most likely be white with red printing. The 601, 602, 801, and 777 all had long production runs too, if I'm not mistaken. So yes, buy that Royal and enjoy it!! Jeff | ||
