    NASTY Kirby G4

    I bought a Kirby G4 (80th anniversary edition) off of craigslist for $25 today.... The seller claimed it worked perfectly but needed to be cleaned up as it had been in storage..... That was only the beginning. I picked it up at the seller's house, who had bought a new Kirby and didn't need this...

    Looking for Kirby G4 parts- Used is fine.

    I just bought a G4, and it looked a bit rough, but was only $25, so I went for it without question. It turns out the cord is bad, it isn't getting power- but ran fine with a cord off of a heritage. I tried to remove the emptor for cleaning, and it had been encrusted in place so long it broke in...

    Frieze carpet - best floor head to prevent frizzing

    We had Frieze installed in our old house- Living room and dining room; Really deep pile, like 1"+. We had it a couple years and it was SO hard to vacuum thouroughly, and when we moved it was already starting to get matted, and had dirty dingy paths where we would walk. I deep cleaned it...

    Train track lines...

    Train track lines, or Carpet lines, whatever you choose to call them, Are a sign of being freshly vacuumed, at least in my opinion. I always make sure I vacuum thouroughly, and with a vacuum that makes good carpet lines before we have company over. I don't know if anyone ever notices, but it's...

    Which vacuum stands the test of time?

    Don't put the whole bag assembly in the washer! It needs to be removed from the emptor (the lower plastic portion with fill tube attached), which can be done by *GENTLY* prying the plastic strap at the bottom apart- the strap works similar to a zip tie... THEN the bag can be removed, the topper...

    Which vacuum stands the test of time?

    Yes, You should be excited! That sounds like a great deal if it is in good condition. Maybe post pics after you get it, and definitely let us know how you like it.

    Which vacuum stands the test of time?

    I would go for the Kirby Sentria out of those choices- It is the most versatile, and will last a lifetime (or several!) if you maintain it. You can buy high-filtration HEPA bags for it, and although the bags are a bit pricy, they hold a lot of dirt. It should be great on pet hair, you can even...

    Which vacuum stands the test of time?

    I would also recommend a Sanitaire- commercial quality, absolutely unbeatable carpet cleaning, easy maintenance and cheap repairs. They don't have on board attachments though, so maybe buy a small/cheap canister vac for above floor cleaning.

    I've never used them on my Kirbys, but that is exactly what the slot is for- saving up for bags and belts.
