Filter Queen - Majestic

My favorite machine of all time in the 80s while working at a vacuum shop was the Hoover Conquest. Absolute beast of a commercial vacuum compared to a Sanitaire. Both models essentially the same today 40 years later I think. Filter Queen kind of interesting but a bit of a mess to change filter. Wouldn't mess with a Rainbow even though it's unique. Older metal Royal tanks are simple beasts. Never a fan of Kirby, we had piles of them and never bothered to fix or rebuild them for sale used. Metal Hoover convertibles were very reliable and over the years came on just about every color. I gave my sister a pristine pink one and she loved it until she got a Royal later on. Best era of vacuums IMO. Almost all were actually fixable vs mostly disposable today.

I'm partial to my Filter Queen Majestic but they're expensive. Easy filter to replace a few times a year and they last forever. More powerful than anything else and works perfectly.

Find a used FilterQueen Majestic. They're rock solid, very powerful, and they're kinda sorta a middle ground between bagged and bagless. They have disposable filter cones that are cheap to replace like bags, but the dirt goes into a container so you'll be able to see your accomplishments 😂

You should look at the Sebo D4… I do have a good majestic filter queen if you are interested

Reminds me of a Rainbow demo when I was a kid - the part where they use a light to show all the dust your existing vacuum spews. Only ours, being a Filter Queen, didn't spew any more than the Rainbow did.

I think this is a pretty great idea. I like how durable Filter Queens are and they are very affordable on the used market. Downsides are they are heavy.
