In the year 1955 they built their first vacuum cleaner with a unique Cyclone system.Originally the company was called "Royal Manufacturing" and made vacuum cleaners with metal cases. In the 1980s they began selling the ‘Dirt Devil’ range with plastic cases; originally the packaging stated ‘Royal Dirt Devil’ but over the years the name "Royal" appeared in smaller and tinier font until it completely vanished from the package.
