its funny that someone mentions the riccar and simplicity made in usa comment.....because so are Kirbys.

I completely gave up on even considering purchasing or bidding on any original kirby before the DS50.    

Any Older kirby vacs would be fantastic

I have a 518 all blue with a red bag

what were you considering for it? I might be interested, email me or something and we'll see if we can strike a deal?

Ive never really had a good experience with the Eureka uprights. Rarely used a Hoover, but in the few times ive had...they've always done a much better job.   Although Ive got to say, I used a new Commercial Eureka in my last house and it did a fantastic job, now its used in the building my...

Didnt Kirby really pick up a lot of steam during the Omega model?   Flooded the market with them.   I know in this area, they were very popular.  

Ive had no experience with any of the early 500 series...so therefore they are highly sought after for me. But I do have a 518/562 and DS50...no comparison to my G5.   The G5 does a good job, and i use it the most since its the newest. But I dont get that nails sucking out of the floorboard...
