Royal RY1000 Airpro Compact Canister Vacuum

"I really like how light it is and easy to move from room to room. It is great for getting the stairs and around edges"

"This thing is beyond terrible if you ever intend to use it on a carpet or

rug. Though perfectly fine for bare floors, the main attachment has no

rollers on it, so when the brush bristles are extended to vacuum

anything other than a bare floor, you're basically giving your rug an

unhealthy scrape. And unless you're vacuuming a carpet that's tacked to

the floor, even the lowest suction setting will grab the rug, which

means that you can really only move in a single direction if you don't

want that area rug moved to an entirely new location. And then there's

the fact that using this sucker requires more back-wrenching elbow

grease than any chore should ever require in this day and age. Please

don't waste your money on this raging disappointment. It's a

chiropractor's dream and will leave you needing anger management

classes. My hand-held Dust Buster does a better job. At least it has a

rotating brush....."

"So far this vacuum works great for my small house with hardwood floors. I love the ease of use- it wheels around easily and is small. The cord rewind is great as well- no wasting time wrapping up a cord. I also love the attachments directly on the hose. It's much easier to switch out different heads and the top of the hose is angled so it is very easy to clean the tops of dressers and windowsills, etc. When I was shopping, I was interested in the Simplicity Jack which has similar features to this one, but the Royal is much cheaper, so it's great for me who's on a budget. The carpet is attachment does the job of cleaning external debris on your carpet, but obviously won't do a deep cleaning. But since I only have one room with carpet, I can't complain. Great price and I love the sleek look!"

"Living in a small apartment, I really thought this vacuum would fit nicely in the closet & it does. The vacuum sux, (which you want in a vacuum cleaner) it is powerful for such a small machine. The fact that you can carry it around is a neat thing too. It's a little awkward at first, but if you can get around the cord and keep the hose untangled youre ok.what I don't like is that the onboard attachments don't attach too well. I thought it was a cheap set up. the tools attach around the hose, which is difficult to manipulate when youre trying to rush through your cleaning.I recommend it to anyone who doesn't have a lot of space, but can handle a bit of reorganizing the equipment. A good value too. most canisters were much more expensive."

"got it yesterday.i was nervous cause i have a wind tunnel and they r superior. This vacum is smaller in size and even has a strap to carry.very powerful-grabs the floor.sucked up pennies,it's impressive.The xtension wand is inside the other wand for those who didn't figure that out!! so do not worry what size u are! very lite but sturdy, made well.strong suction relax ,its worth the money. Of course i only have it one day but royal is a good company it should stand on its reputation!!"

"I wanted a vac that would do bare floors. I did not want to pay for a 'carpet beater head'. It had to have an autocord wind up which is hard to find unless you pay for lots of extras. This simple machine fit the bill perfectly.

Yes the plastic hose gets twisted sometimes, but the telescoping wand (for storage) makes up for it. It can fit in the bottom of the coat closet and not interfere with the coats.

Overall good buy, does a good job."

"After purchasing more than 5 different vacuums in one year, I found this to be the perfect one. I read some others people reviews, and agreed in purchasing this light vacuum, which works perfect for bare floors (ex. tiles, wood etc). I highly recommend this vacuum if you are looking for something good to do the work and not a bulky and heavy vacuum that bumps in all furniture, this one really does a great job on the floors."

"The vacuum was a little over priced for the quality, but I can tell I will get years of good use from it. It is a nice sized vacuum, just what I wanted. The bag size surprised me, as it is very small, I am hopeful that they are not expensive to buy. The vacuum has great suction and nice attachment and cord features, my only complaints are that I wish the hose was a more flexible material and the bag was a little better ."

"I used the vaccuum right away when I received it. It was much smaller than I thought it would be - which is great for toting around, however the bag is very small and still have not been able to find bags at a retail location. The suction is very good for a small vaccuum. After looking at sale canister vacs at stores near me I think you can get the same or better value shopping sales at stores near you."

"We have mostly hardwood floors in our house and have found over the years that the upright we've been using just doesn't work well. A neighbor had bought a cannister and loved it. I couldn't find the one she had bought so got this one. It works great for the hardwoods but doesn't work as well on carpets, so we'll have to keep the upright for that. All in all, though, I'm very happy with it."
