    First Kirby in my collection

    congrats on your Omega! I like the Omega, it's really one of the first of the modern machines. My favorite feature is the large nozzle which covers the front wheels (The Heritage II of the 80's they made the nozzle smaller and wheels exposed, not as nice looking if you ask me!) I would...

    Clean smelling bagged vacuum?

    I just bought a used Kirby G5 and it was from a heavy smoker. When I'd turn it on it would reek like nicotine. Anyways I found some videos on youtube about putting the bag in the washing machine, which I did and it smells much better now.
