Pictures I love this vacuum so far. I don't think the guy I bought it from new what kind of gem he had, he sold it to me for $20. The only problems it has, or had, are simple fixes, the hook on the cord was missing, so I put a safety pin on it, the belt was worn and stretched so I replaced it...

So, today I bought a beautiful Kirby Classic 1-CR, this is my 3rd Kirby and 10th vacuum of my collection. I got it for $20 with attachments and rug renovator. The belt was slipping and the bag was FULL, so I put it inside out, cleaned it, washed it and got it well working again. I did replace...

Tradition I like the Tradition for it's beautiful blue color, and its place in Kirby history as the first to offer disposable bags.

Chain How can I remove the chain, or can that be washed too?

Hey everyone. I was wondering if it is safe to put the bag of my Kirby 512 in the washing machine, and if so, is there a particular detergent to use? I hate the idea of the bag restricting airflow and hurting the motor. Here's the bag.

Tampa I live near Tampa. Thanks for the advice Calem, I the hole was at the bottom of the bag and it hasn't had a problem. Steve I don't understand why more people don't like vacuums, I have since I was two with my Kirby G5.

New in Town I am new to this site, I do like it! And I am in Florida, I've been here three years, but I'm from Massachusetts. I do like this cord BTW, but it likes to slip off, and it's short. Also, I'd like to get peoples opinions on something, should I get the Lexan fan for this?

Pictures The power of this machine amazes me, it still has oomf for 62 yo!

Hello everyone, I've had this for about a month now but I haven't actually posted about it yet. This is my Kirby 512 that I got for $36 at an antique store, the lady working there had no idea what to make of an 18 yo buying an older vacuum. I really like it, I've given it a slight polish, and I...

Head Vacuuming. Personally, I use the massage cup from my Kirby G5 after a hair cut to remove loose hairs.

Thank You Thank you for your help, I love this machine and I'd love to be able to zip up the bag, it doesn't look right open.

Either You could get away with either old or new, just get a good brand. The Kirby machines have an excellent reputation, I have two! Older Hoovers are also great deep cleaning carpet grooming machines.. The Miele machines are great too.

Hi everyone, I just got a Hoover Concept One off a Craigslist add for $10. I really like it and think it is an excellent addition to my collection (I have 9 vacuums in total which isn't a lot compared to some users but my parents sure think it is!), when I got it the zipper on the bag was stuck...
