I would venture to say mid late 70's to very early 80's because of the dial-a-nap. Later ones didn't have "shag" IIRC.

Very Nice Surprise I would be very happy if more vacuums included a surprise like that (not gonna spoil it for people who haven't seen the video).

If it wasn't for the storage space... I would love to have one. Many years ago, I worked as a custodian at a rural school. Unpaved playground, and carpet throughout. The pig was the only vacuum I used that could effectively clean all the low-pile carpet and hold up to the grit and gravel. I...

If I Were Rich... ...and it was a gold-plated reproduction of a Kirby 560, I may bite. Nah! Hello and welcome from Portland Oregon! :)

Nope. It has a new belt and brush roll in it and a good fan. The mats I have and my particular carpet is a challenge for anything. Compound that with the Poms, and I hold nothing against my Kirby. My setup is an exceptional case.

I agree! I used it again tonight, and it gets everything in one pass. That's saying a lot considering it takes two or three with the Kirby Classic. The Electrolux 1205 never could get everything off the dark brown commercial mat in my entry. One pass with the Kenmore and it was pristine...

Probably what I pay now...LOL. I wouldn't give more than $30 for a used model (more depending on condition). New? Maybe $150, give or take.

Thank you. If it lasts two years, I won't be disappointed at all. If I can get 4 out of it, I will be thrilled. That will buy me some time to find something of quality to replace it. Thank you too for the cloth hepa bag tip. That's the kind I bought for extras, so it confirms what I thought.

Eureka Uprights I love old Eureka uprights. The ESPs were great cleaning machines, and very well built. Actually, I had an old one from the late 1950s as well. Built like a tank, and deep cleaned carpets beautifully. I miss it. Good luck in finding yours!

I have 5 little dogs, 2 of them being Poms (they shed mercilessly). I have been using a Bissell Powerforce Bagged Upright as my daily driver, and a little Hoover Canister for above the floor stuff. I have a Kirby Classic Omega in great shape, but it's not as good on pet hair as the Bissell...

I am not a fan of Dyson, but I say the best vacuum cleaner out there is one with a willing arm attached to it. If he loves his Dyson, let him love his Dyson. :)

Hello and Welcome I am back from a long time away, but any of the G series should be a nice and powerful cleaner for what you need. I would also check your vac shops locally, I have seen G3 and G4's with a 30-90 day warranty from the vac shops around here for as low as $90 or so. Another...

Swamp Cooler Nice old cooler. I love swamp coolers. Two years ago, right before a hot spell, my living room window a/c decided to go *POP* and the control panel went dark. I was strapped for cash at the time, and didn't want to spend the hot spell in my bedroom. I picked up some landscaping...
