Royal Crown Signature Series by XXX
Original Message   Jan 25, 2010 9:04 pm
Has anyone used a XXX Royal Crown Signature Series vacs?  I saw the XXX Lightweight upright w/portable canister at Sears & wonder if it'll beat an Oreck?

How good are they?

They are better (imo) than most of the current batch of Panasonic uprights.  Metal agitators and skid plates, good suction and hardly ever a problem with the motors.  We've sold the Carpet Pro for years commercially,  the property companies like them because they are relatively inexpensive, cheap to maintain and quiet. Like most things, if you look after it, it will last.

These are very good vacuum cleaners, that are from an old design that works.  XXX does not make these Carpet Pro, etc.  I know the company that does.

This person made several references to "XXX" vacuums on another website.  I had never heard of that name before, nor have I ever seen anything with that label.  At first I thought they were referring to TTI, but now there's enough evidence to believe these "XXX vacuum cleaners" are nothing but a figment of one person's very odd imagination. 

As for the Carpet Pro vacuums, those are great cleaners and an excellent value for the price range.  They're virtually identical to the Panasonic commercial line (specifically a rework of the old Jet-Flo design with some changes and improvements), but as someone else said, better built with *much* better quality motors.  Pair one of those up with synthetic bags and you have yourself a serious cleaning machine.

I mean the other way around--whoever makes these Carpet Pro makes them for XXX as their Commercial (replaced their 2-motor Ultra Power which was the best XXX ever made)

The whole company has been bought by TTi (Vax UK, Vax Australia and Vax U.S) regardless of what these sub-country companies would have you believe.

Dirt Devil has some very satisfied customers.    Dirt Devils tend to do a fairly good job at cleaning carpeting.  They provide fairly basic vacuums for the low end market.  While you may get what you pay for, I wouldn't be so quick to call them junk.  

Several years back I remember going to an estate sale in which the deceased owner had a large number of expensive oriental rugs.  I was a little surprised to see that he had a Dirt Devil bagged vacuum to clean them.  I have a relative who got around 10 years of service from a Dirt Devil bagged upright.
