Hi Hardsell,
I just bought the RY9750 a few days ago. It came shipped with the handle and hose needing attached. It seems to be well built. Type U Royal-air Bag in dustcompartment . Metal handle with a cushion grip. Metal bottom plate that
has a latch to remove the bottom plate and a metal brush roll with stiff brushes. I have only had the chance to use it once and it did a very good job. I bought mine off of Ebay by doing a search for Royal Eminence. Their is a vac dealer selling
brand new ones in factory box. I checked it out before I put it together. It was brand new in unopend box. This dealer was selling them for $249 and $15.00 shipping.He raised the price on the one I purchased to $ 2 69 and $15.00 shipping.
Ordered Monday night and received it Thursday. Fast Shipping. On my packing list the vacuum came from Allied Vacuum in NC. I looked on Royals website for the zip code and Allied Vacuum was listed as a Royal Dealer. I was able to turn
in the Warranty Card.
I paid $299 at a local vac shop. I like the way it gives carpet a groomed look, although I do wonder if it is removing the maximum dirt. Strings or sock lint require multiple passes to be thoroughly removed. I vacuumed my car Thursday. The hose suction is not nearly so good as on the Dyson. I had to make several passes to remove grass and gravel from the carpet. This debris was just on the carpet and not embedded.
All in all a good vacuum the has a feel of quality. You already know that I still prefer the Dyson.
