The use of our kirby 511 when I was a child-and grew up using it.Was lost in a flood in 1972-and the machine still worked when it was lost.
Use of a Kenmore "wheelbarrow" canister vacuum along with the Kirby.
What is the history of vacuum you have owned?
Too difficult to describe-would need to write a book on them.Too much to include here.
Have you ever worked on, repaired and/or restored any vacuum cleaners?
Yes-have replaced bearings in the Tornado vacuum,and bearings,fans,etc in the kirbys and Royals.
