My take All of my life I have grown up with the Kirby sytem (with my grandparents owning the Gsix 2000 LE and the Avalir, my mother owning the Gsix, UG DE, and Sentria II). I have grown to love the Kirby brand and it is a very unique system and the fact that it is a QUALITY USA made machine is...

I'm curious to see what Bojack machines you all own. Mine is a FrankenKirby, I would have to find a photo.

I am bittersweet with Dysons. I own a couple myself, with recently traded in DC35 Handheld, almost brand new with all of the attachments, and an Animal Canister of the DC40 series. My dad is a floor installer and he and I are dead against customers owning Dysons because they chew up new carpet...

Yes, Panasonics are still widely available and parts are still made for that model. Hope this helps. https://www.partswarehouse.com/PANASONIC-vacuums-bags-belts-brushes-parts-and-accessories-s/124.htm

The amount of people that would go crazy over the words "Brand New" and "Sealed". Those things were new like, what, $400, tops? Even then, a brand new, unbroken machine is a rarity, however, I would say sell that for $350, and that's my highest.

Do you know what kind of belt is in it? You may have to change the belt but also checked if it is a knurled belt, which has a textured pattern on the inside of the belt, and if it is not, replace the belt with a knurled belt...

On eBay, I have listed a refurbished Kirby Dual 50 up for sale, the price is listed on the listing. Please read the description, and message me if you have any questions. Thanks! -Logan Huls...

@kirbyclassiciii, I believe the Classic III had the order forms in the back of the instruction manuals for carpet shampoo (Sudz) and floor wax. Either that or it was a warranty form, I can't remember.    @regularrett69, Kirby still includes order forms when you buy your Kirby, just have to...

Can you post a new link? I'd like to join.

There possibly might be a crack in the head's channel or in the inlet where the extension tube connects to the head. Some cracks can be visible, but I experienced it where they are not visible to the naked eye. If that's not the case, make sure all of the tubings are clear, clean all of the...
