    Old "Stink Bombs"

    I once trash picked a Kirby Classic III that had been used to vacuum up cat litter- Used cat litter! Nothing wrong with it except that it absolutely reeked. I washed the nozzle, brushroll, bag, and emptor, and it doesn't smell at all. I also hate getting vacuums that smell like dog or cigarette...

    Hoover U5262910

    I had a green one (My favorite color), and it was a pretty good vacuum. Fairly quiet, lightweight, good suction. My only issue with it was that it was a major pain to change the belt (If I remember right, either 8 or 10 screws), and the attachment clip that holds the wand and crevice tool...

    Any real purpose of the switch being moved up to the handle of the Comvac, rather than the traditional foot switch, or was it done just to make it different from Kirby's home use machines?

    Also surprising that there is no switch, I can see now why you mounted a switch to the handle.

    Thanks! Quite a bit different from even a 500 series. No bottom plate or belt guard. Looks like you need a new brushroll though!

    THE NEW KIRBY IS HERE

    Basically the same story as the Heritage II legend and Legend II before the introduction of the G3 in 1990- the only difference between the Heritage II legend and Legend II is color. That's it. They held over the Heritage/Legend II by improving the color scheme, then introduced the G3. They held...

    Very nice! The Heritage looks even nicer in the picture than in person! Any chance you could post a picture of the bottom of the C? Never seen one up close and I'm curious.

    Dyson DC14 blitz it refurb

    Definitely looks like soot from a chimney. Looks exactly like what we got when we cleaned our wood stove's chimney a while back. I used a crummy bagless Bissell to clean up after and the soot stained all of the clear plastic parts and hose. I completely tore it down and washed everything and it...

    Sanitaire Commercial Upright Questions

    I found the Hoover belts worked better on the Sanitaire at my church, the Eureka ones barely lasted a week, and started slipping. The Hoover ones would usually last a month or so.
