Thanks! Yeah I agree aside from the micro fresh bags which I don't think are made anymore the G bags SUCK like you can see finer dust flying out

So I managed to snag myself a nice looking 103 that was pretty dirty but after a good cleaning and I got it all looking pretty. My only issue was not having a filter bag adapter and I really didn't want to use the shake out bag because really want to preserve it and after finding out how crazy...

Absolutely! That should have been a main selling point considering how the Platinum is no different from the A2. I have to wonder how that muffler works in canister/handheld mode and how it works on older models. I did some research on tiktok just not too long ago and I noticed somebody had a...

Holy cow that sounds really soothing. Like a hoover convertible! Does that mean thick outer bags are back?!

Really? What do they look like and how do they affect airflow? I'm actually really curious lol

Can you link to that please because I'm curious! Surprised they didn't go for a thicker outer bag too. One draw back is the thinner bags look a bit uhhhhhh odd then the fill tube is pressed against the front

Awesome! Have you done any work on those bags to make them fit? I just wanna keep my outer bag looking nice for as long as possible. I did get a 3D printed part for my other dirt devil handbag because I couldn't find the original bag adapter and I was able to use oreck BB bags and they work...

I got myself a nice metal royal and I was wondering if they ever offered paper bags for it or if anyone ever made a bag adpater

Just picked up a nice 103 in really good condition with the original box and manuals but no paper bag adapter. Haven't found one online yet so I was wondering if anybody has one they're willing sell

Simple thread. Just going based off outer bags which is y'alls favorite as far as colors and patterns and even if you want to mention materials and "puff up" facor are. I'll give you guys my favs. Sorry if most are Kirbys haha Kirby Heritage II (First vac and love the logos on it and has a...

I got a really good Kirby G4 from Goodwill for $8 but while the emptor looks to be in good condition it leaks around the seam. I was able to set it up with some silicone for now but I was wondering if anybody had a spare one to sell. I know the new style works better for my G4 I love the...

How many of you use your Kirby's in canister mode when using the hose? Does it reduce air flow or seem like an unneeded step unless you're doing stairs or something? I personally use it with the upright handle and hose most of the time but what is everyone's thought on it? I will say it feels...

@lesinutah parts finally came in! Have any videos to recommend me for the bearing replacement I don't want to remove the wrong one. And you think I should replace my brushes while I'm there you think they're fine?

Hard floors? I'd say go for pretty much any Sharkduo. I use my Ult G Kirby for my carpets but love my Duo Clean with Powerfins cordless for my hardfloors. Does great for hair and fine dust but also doesn't tangle which is why I'd recommend the fins Upright's only gonna be more powerful. I...

@lesinutah Checked the plate and it's all good. But is this the correct bearing and should I just change the fan since it has a few nicks in it? https://www.goodvac.com/MOTOR_FRONT_BEARING_1CB_SE_p/k-prt-motr-116073.htm By the way I'm not sure what you meant by "soft belt" sorry.
