I loved mine a few years back, the bags are huge the only problem was picking up weed smell and having it reek, they have pellets for that.

The vacuums about 8 lbs but after using it it can get real heavy with the bag filling up.

I got some bags over 15 lbs.

My motor went out after 1 year, idiots sucking stuff they shouldn't.

Real easy belt replacement.

I figure I going to go thru vacuums so my nv80 as long as I can get them at Home Depot the week of Black Friday for $128 I'll stick with those.

Does your have an actual brush for a beater bar?

The one I had did and I have to say the beater bar is amazing.

Ya it's has plenty of suction and the bag weight is easily comparable to a bucket filled with a dust cup over and over.

More Compacted.

If your monkeys are use to by pass vacuums than they'll continue to suck up rocks and nails and other crap that will break the fan.
Although as you see in the video I did suck up a hair pin today with no damage.


Fans are $11 but I think if the whole motor died, I'd just replace the whole thing as it's so cheap and wear and tear would likely be apparent.

hmmmm.......why do I feel you're asking this question because your new "mystery vac" love affair doesn't have an easy pull-off hose/tube like most uprights?

The mystery vac is an Oreo. Gotta say those things are light weight tempting to use.

First house maybe, After the second or third house, I'm trying to make the cream as quick efficient but precious as possible.

It's a pretty good vacuum. I even tried to sell the Aerus Fresh Era (luxury copy) to my customers. They were too cheap to wanna buy it. So I still have it for my 7 year old to use when it's time for him to vacuum his room

But they're too light to vibrate the carpet to get any heavy sand up. Go back and look at your bags you tore open. Was there any sand buildup in them like there would be in your Royal?

You gotta admit, that Pic of that vacuum is pretty cool of that Aerus vacuum. I have no clue why my customers wouldn't buy it. Maybe I'm just a crummy vacuum salesman. I didn't sell any of them. I'm glad I only bought just one for demo

That's where the Royal is King. It rumbles the carpet at the edges prior to passing, loosening dirt prior to reaching that area. At the moment can't remember the correct term.
