I grew up with Electroluxes and always preferred a canister to a upright. When my original Silverado kicked the bucket a few years ago I went to a Miele retailer who did a demo for me. I was really impressed but did not have the money to spend on the machine. I decided to fix up the old Kirby...

I replacedthe fan cover formy Heritage 2because it had a crack in it. The new part does not have the original serial number which bothers me. Is the a way to fix the original orget a new part withthe right serial number on it. Should Ijust not let this bother me?

Who is making the better vacuum of the two companies.

Dont they have much more plastic?

The old green Electroluxes are pretty, I never found one in good shape otherwise I would love to have one. But in reality my Miele Callisto is everything I could ever want in a Vacuum and more.

Mine is the Olympia one I like the Chocolate brown color with the creme accents

My Olympia one is in beautiful shape except that some of the plastic is discolered. Is there anything I can do to bring back the plastic to its right tone

They look cool with the brushed stainless steel. How good are they?

They should put a tariff on all imports this is getting ridiculous

That is really sad

Or did TTI move all production to China

You can replace the brushes yourself. It is not very hard, I did it on my Kirby and I had no electric motor experience. I would definately not throw it out!

I guess I can try that. My Silverado looks mint except for some dents on the bottom. Paint is intact plastic and chrome is pristine

What do you guys do when you have a perfectly good electrolux with a dented body? Is there a source for new metal?

That 10 week old puppy on the right is a fox terrier and he doesnt shed. He gets groomed by hand stripping. Anyway I found this to be ironic since the Dyson grooming brush could never be used on such a dog.

What are the other two?

With my limited knowledge of vacuums I do know I would take a old electrolux over any of the Chinese made pieces of plastic that are being made today. You can probably find a nice clean electrolux in good working order for much less than a new vacuum and it will probably last a lot longer. I...

My parents bought the vacuum new in 1987 when I was 7 years old so I have no clue if they registered it or not. I bought the fan case off of ebay. What is the Kirby rebuild program and how much does it cost? Can I register this new serial number? ( I still have the original broken fan case)

I had to replace the front fan cover which includes the serial number, since the original developed a crack. The part I received was supposed to be new but has K*********** serial number unlike the original 187********* serial number that belonged with the machine. Is the part I replaced it...
