    What is your favorite Vintage Hoover?

    These are my favorite I also have a Concept One I like a lot, but it doesn't match the color scheme of these. I have full attachments for them all except the Convertible. I need a hose for it, then I can share the rest of the attachments from the DAM.

    Favorite kirbys and why?

    My favorites are 1. Kirby Tradition because that was the current model when I started working for Kirby. 2. Classic Omega. I love the Rosewood trim. Beautiful when it's all buffed and shiney. 3. Sanitronic VII. First Kirby I ever traded in.

    Kirby Avalir on eBay

    I can't believe there are already two listings for the Avalir on eBay. Kirby sees them, I bet they won't be happy.

    Vacuuming up wasps, bees etc.

    I used to have a wasp problem and used my Rainbow D2 to get'em. Worked every time. Of couse, it took a little time to fill the pan, but the buggers always seemed to hang around long enough ...

    Question for the Kirby experts.

    Agreed Clear silicone sealer works the best, like the kind used to seal glass aquariums.

    Kirby Tradition found at Goodwill today

    Wow. Nice Tradition. It's hard to think of the Tradition as being a vintage machine because I sold that model new when I was with Kirby. It literally seems like yesterday. Where does the time go?

    Surprised at a Miele hose!!

    I agree John I recently picked up a Miele with a power nozzle at a thrift store, and couldn't believe how cheap the hose was. It's a great cleaner, but I wonder how long the hose will last.

    Filter Queen and Tristar

    I like both I have both, a Filter Queen and a Compact, and I'm happy with either one. I do need a set of wands, an external power nozzle cord and straps for the Compact's power nozzle though. It's basically a Eureka Roto-Matic power nozzle with a Compact decal on it.

    KIRBY AVALIR

    Actually I think the design colors of the Avalir are an homage to the 505. It's pretty cool, I think.
