They seem to be stuck on Grey and black these last few models. Or is this a Henry Ford thing. You can have it in any color you want as long as it is black.

Tolivac I sincerely hope that includes the original drawings for them as well.

I won't ever change my view on bagless vacuums either. I hate them with a passion. I am a bagged vacuum all the way. Cleaning those perminent filters for the so called benifit of bagless is just not true. 1. They clog up fast espeicially here in the snow belt. all that salt and ice melt...

Sweet !!! The vacuum gods heard my prayers. The tried and true is still in the game.

Mosquito is replacing some of the Nobles commercial products. They also have a wet/dry vacuum as well.

It maybe the main power switch that has failed. Or the plug end one of the wires is broken between the plug and built-in circut breaker on the cord set. The reset button on the machine would pop out if tripped. contact Rug doctor in the UK for help You can also get schematics on line with...

@huskyvacs Sometimes it just isn't worth the time and effort to try and repair them. I have some commercial vacuums that are over priced for what they are and just to repair the carpet head is pricey and just about a complete tear down to do it. Years ago we had a vacuum shop that hated to...

Shark never has been able to impress me with thier rendition of what a vacuum cleaner should be. Fantom couldn't do it at the time either.

Needs the collection bag as well. @mark40511 it is a commercial wide isle vacuum for commercial buildings.

The only change to Kirby I would like to see is an outer cloth bag of heavy material like on the Heritage series to help muffle the noise. My Heritage II is much quieter than the Sentria I have. I do like the performance of the Sentria.

I dropped a Kirby Classic Omega on my bare foot one time. I was in my early teens when that bone headed move happened. Those back wheels and casting sure to get your attention when that happens. foot was sore for several days. RainbowD4C hope your foot feels better soon.

My Grandmother bought this model in 1972 to replace the Model 519 she did in the bag on much to my dismay. I was age 5 at the time. I was disapointed that I got a new Kirby to entertain with. How ever after 20 min. the next morining it was in fact my new best friend. This one also suffered...

I have washed commercial shake out bags in a front load washer with no problems and let air dry. Any thing with screen printing may be better off hand washing. The bag for the Heritage II would be ok in a front load washer and air dry. I would use cool or cold water wash.

The F & G bag would attach the same as the C type bag orginal to the machine would. Both have the short tube in the bottom of the bag. You just use the F & G disposable bag for the Eureka vacuum in place of the C type Hoover disposable bag.
