Tom: I have tried using the SUDS-O-GUNS attachment from both my Kirby 514, and, although a long time ago, from a G4 model. They work IF you can cut whatever you are spraying to the consistency of water. So, if one is trying to white-wash something, or spread a VERY thin layer of wood...

Congratulations! Joe, VERY nice work! From a fellow Kirby man, I believe that you will be well pleased! Regarding bags: please check your messages.

MANLY, yes, BUT I like it, too.. Forgot to mention this -- BUT, the pre-cursor to Kirby's ODORIFIC was a product called SWEET-AIRE. Have no clue what the original scent might have been - BUT - the Kirby 514 came with a glass bottle with two, maybe three drops left of the CEDAR PINE scent. I...

Here's what I have found helpful... ....Each time that you change the disposable bag - LEAVE it hangin' on the outside of the outer bag SO that you can use the upholstery tool and vacuum the INSIDE of the cloth bag. That will pull up any residual dust that the outer bag may be holding. That...

Well, Hello Dolly! Who would have known? Never quite dug dragging a Hoover Constellation around on the floor, BUT, then again, not big into Hoover's. The BEST part was seeing how happy Fred is with his! Now, Hoover-man or NOT - that was a Day-Maker!

Generation 4 - LOVE that vacuum! I'd have to say it is the FIRST one - the one I bought NEW (for around $700.00 when it first came out) - the G4. LOVED that machine! Lent it out to an older aunt of mine since the TECH DRIVE feature made it easier to use than her Kirby Legend II. But, as...

tolivac: Yes, there is a small motor and it does provide suction. As stated above, it may not be considered a "deep cleaner", but it does pick up well.

Now THAT'S a family heirloom! Chase - CONGRATULATIONS on the G-4! One of my favorite vacuums. I had to laugh when I read that this was the machine that you grew up with - I bought mine new back in the early nineties, and I was in my mid-20's at the time. I had forgotten "how long ago" this...

I DO have one - and yeah, it works! Picked one up at a garage sale just because the idea of a motorized carpet sweeper was interesting to me - as well as the GE "automatic" clothes brush that I also got from this same garage sale. Both items in great condition. GE must have had some marketing...

I'm trying to restore an Air-Way Model 77. It's in very nice shape for its age, but the brush strip on the rug nozzle may be worn. At least, I think it is - I don't know a lot about Air-Way vacuums. Does anyone have a spare brush strip that they are willing to sell? (Although I can't imagine...

Check out Thread 12097 Photos 3 -6. Hoovercelebrity has a very interesting Commercial Hoover Celebrity.... I know next to NOTHING about Hoover's, but I found that a very unusual vacuum. I've always thought of the Celebrity as the type of vacuum for a small apartment...mainly because the only...

Just HAD to check back...to see this MAGNIFICENT machine.... Fred, Thank you for sharing the "clean-up" photos...this Electrolux just keeps getting better and better. Looking at the rug and floor nozzles, I have to tell you that the connector ends are really cool - what with the thumb-tab...

So, was Helen reading the CANADIAN ELECTROLUX STORY to Ida.. Fred, Allow me to add my 'Congratulations' on this EXTRAORDINARY find. Even the BOXES are beautiful! And what a thoughtful email to get from Steve and Michele. You HAVE to know that they are thrilled that this machine is...
