    kirby handle cover exposed

    after getting my blue handle cover i found it very hard to get it on.after trying different methods the best i found was to 3 in 1 oil it & get a cloth to be able to grip the cover to slide it on.very tight & hard to do but i prevailed.

    If you could re-engineer any machine in your collection, what would you change about it?

    the intake nozzle on the 500 series kirbys.the shaft from the fan has hardy any room for larger debris to pas by.much larger intake nozzle.
