Hey guys, since you are discussing the canister, to keep me from starting a new thread, what do you think of the upright that it goes with? I bought the bagless platinum only because it was at a store where they sell sears returns and displays. I got it for $180.00 and at that time they were...

Well, sometimes the apple doesnt fall far from the tree so I bet anything that their parents (if they had any) bought some cheap $50.00 vacuum and were going to pitch this one, so thats probably how they got hold of it. If the parents are as stupid as the kids, then this one probably had a...

One of them is an 80th anniversary edition. f 1994 I think. I think it says 80th somewhere toward the bottom of the handle if I remember correctly. Thats the only difference I can think of.

I love the green decade 80, as well as the others. I am currently using a decade 800 from 1989. It is the kind of dusty blue one. The original bag was torn so I had to get one of those plain gray generic ones off of ebay but I would like to find the original one. Its kind of a bluish gray or...

That decade is nice. How much do they sell for? I do hope they decide to come out with some kind of decade or convertible style cleaner in the household hoover line. I wish they would start back with the constellations again too. I like them, but a power nozzle would be nice. Hint, hint

My mother bought this kenmore new in 1988. I remember we went to the sears catalog store to pic out a vacuum and a microwave. I was 10 years old. I ofcourse wanted a canister but this one was on sale for 164.00 and it looked nice enough and the top mounted tools I gues must have looked handy...

I used to have one of those videos. I got it at a flea market in the early 90's and I think I gave it away some where along the way, probably to someone that couldnt figure out there kirby,lol. I watched it several times. Kinda cheesy. The split second in the video is on a bracket on the...

If you are talking about the automatic control dial on the bag door, that isnt about airflow. All that dial does is control how full the bag gets before it shuts off and pops open. The suction/airflow is going to be the same no matter where you set the dial. If it has the blue lines in the...

very nice

chestermike, I was looking at your photos and I was wondering about that dialamatic (convertable to you) model 5032 in burgundy, pic # 5 I think. Where in the world did you ever find that? I have always been a dialamatic fan. I know they arent the best deep cleaners, but with clean fans, and...

Well if they get fifty cants for that thing, the buyer will bet the short end of the stick. I have never been that crazy about DD but a year or two ago I was wanting some kind of quick broom type of thing just to go over the kitchen and clean up track ins from the front door. I had to vacuum...

Nice find, especially for the price. About a year ago My roommate, or whatever he is came home from one of his friends house that I cant stand, but I had to shut up my complaining for a little while, lol. His "friend" was cleaning out his shed and it was his dads house that he inherited about...

This is really interesting. I am enjoying reading these little tidbits of info. I have never even heard of any of this, but on the other hand I havent had the opportunity in my life to make friends with any "vacuum people", lol. At lest not in person or anything. I hated history in school...

Yeah, I realized it wasnt the same before I even posted the #. I didnt look at it close until I saw your post and I remembered seeing it scrolling thru ebay. Sorry. I know the one your talking about though. We had one like the brown one but with the blue hood. I think it was a walmart model...

well I just looked at it again. it may not be exactly the same. A little older but maybe similar. Go to ebay and type in 130475484549

theres one on ebay right now, just like the brown hood but with no headlight. says it comes with bags and belts. see if thats it

Yeah, my family says it started with me when I was about a year and a half old. My grandmother had a Kirby classic III and a green sears best canister from about 1975 with the tool caddy and the powermate with the green wand. They said one day she turned on that kirby and I jumped up on the...

Hi, I'm new here too. Well, I was in the background for a while just reading the posts and then I signed up. Trust me, you do not have the biggest obsession in the world. I was made fun of my whole childhood, lol. Now I just dont care. I remember when I first heard there was a thing called...

Well, yes they did use a plastic fan. I have wondered about that too, if it made much sound difference. It still sounds good though, especially now that I got a good bag on it. I dont know what the deal was with the one they put on it. Im just glad I got the rebuild while they still had all...

WOW! nice work there. I have had good results polishing like that on my classic III and Heritage 84, but for some reason I cant get as good of a finish on my D80. It looks good, but there are still traces of some stains. But I am a little ocd, most people probably wouldnt even notice. I...
