Royal Procision RY3050 powerhead canister

Date Published: 4/27/07

Royal's Procision RY3050 is a well-built, full-size powerhead canister vacuum that can do it all. With a powerhead for carpet and floors, and onboard tools with long-reaching wands, the RY3050 may be the only vacuum will you need to own.

Like all canisters, Royal's Procision is a bit less convenient to use than an upright. But, once you get where you're going, you'll find you have everything you need right at your fingertips, regardless of what you're cleaning. Perfect for carpet, floors, upholstery, stairs, curtains and general dust pick-up, the Royal RY3050 makes a great choice for all-purpose cleaning of multiple surfaces.

Particle collection on this model is excellent thanks to a five-stage HEPA-type filtration system. Like most HEPA models, this unit's five-stage system removes 99.97 percent of the allergens from the air as it passes through the vacuum. Of the five-stages of filtration on the RY3050, one is a disposable paper dust bag. This bag is a Type R bag and is readily available from Royal dealers. A Type R filter is also used on this model and may require occasional replacement to ensure optimal filtration.

The body of the Royal Procision canister is solidly constructed of a durable plastic material. It rolls smoothly along on large, stable wheels and offers a hose with a 360-degree turn radius. A simple switch allows you to easily turn the brushroll on and off as you move from carpet to floors. We found the Royal canister to be equipped with wands constructed of heavy-duty metal, instead of cheap plastic wands.

Royal's RY3050 offers a better-than-average warranty of 2 years and is carried only by independent vacuum dealers. For this reason, this model will probably cost you more than a canister vacuum from a big-box store. The difference is that when you pay more for Procision RY3050 you get more in terms of durability and longevity. You also get the guidance of an experienced vacuum repairman who can help you keep your Royal Procision RY3050 running in top shape for years.


Pros: Well-built model, with metal wands and high quality tools, backed by excellent warranty
Cons: More expensive than a discount store model
