    Need advice on what kirby to choose.

    I've decided to go with the kirby. I'm trying to go with the cheapest one this seller has since this would be a Christmas present from my parents. So, I'm deciding between a G3-$171.65, a G4-$191.65 and a G5 which I really love this model and is $211.65. Which one is the best out of all of them...

    Need advice on what kirby to choose.

    Well, I've searched and searched and have found good prices on diamonds and G6s. The only thing is I didn't take in to account that I have a very small living room. So, I might have to go a little smaller than a kirby. That's the only reason I was considering a dyson. What would you guys...

    Need advice on what kirby to choose.

    Yeah, I do like the color combo on the G5. I'm also thing of getting a dyson slim. Are they good vacs?

    Need advice on what kirby to choose.

    Well, due to too much downsizing and just going out and always buying the cheapest thing I could afford I am out of a good working vacuum at the moment. So I went on ebay and searched for kirbies and found a seller selling all of the g series for very well prices. But, I just don't know which...

    Does anyone know where I can find this part?

    I need to find a belt cover for my hoover model 60. I think it's called a belt cover, but not sure. It's the piece that lifts up so you can get to the belts on the models 60, 61, and 62. I wasn't able to find a pic of what it looked like. I wasn't able to find one and I've had the vac for about...

    Thrift Store finds for today!

    OMG, the eureka takes me back. That was the first eureka that I got from my dad that he got from work. But a flood destroyed that and many other machines. Awesome finds! Best of luck with them. -Dan

    Has anyone ever heard of these?

    I remember the kirby hand vac. I remember going to the kirby store back a couple years and asking Tye (the person I used to always see to buy from their used inventory) how much was one of the vacuette. I remember it being $50.00. That was too high of a price for me that day. But, I also...

    Has anyone ever heard of these?

    A couple years back I was walking down the street and saw something interesting through a clear trash bag. Upon inspection, I found it was a Douglas Busy Bee hand vac. I tore the bag open and brought it straight home. It was in the original box with the price tag still on it also! It is also...

    [color=red]WOW!!![/color]

    I remember when I got one of these.... It was the first hoover convertible, and I saw it in the trash riding my bike. When I brought it home I noticed it said hoover convertible on the headlight. I had no idea what it meant but I loved using that vacuum. And then the flood came and it got...

    Today's POD.

    I was just looking at today's pic of the day, and was wondering, did the hoover 28 come in brown and white on the sides of the head. I don't ever remember seeing one. I also remember seeing a hoover ad, that pictured a red hoover 28. Did they really make the 28 in different colors?

    Does anyone have an extra....

    I have a hoover model 61, that I have been dying to use but It didn't have the piece that goes over the belt, after you put the belt on. Does anyone have or know where I can get an extra one? Thanks, Dan.

    Help please. Can someone identify age and model

    That's a Hoover model 700. I believe that one could be from the 30's, 1935, 1937, maybe? But my knowledge on the 700 is little, I think the time period for the 700 was from, 1929-1937, not completely sure thought.

    I get them from, ebay, thrift shops, the trash if they are in ok condition, and once every month my good old friend Freed finds some rare gems to sell to me for about $10 and up.
