    Kirby

    I'm not a fan either But the Tech Drive on the newer Generation machines is a lot smoother than earlier models, in my opinion. It's also a lot less jerkey than other manufacturers self propelled features too. Joe

    classic III question

    You could get an emptor from a Tradition, and switch out the blue bottom cover for the red cover for the Classic III. You would need to replace the shakeout bag with one with a full zipper to use disposable bags. The Legend II bag would be a good choice since it matches pretty well. If you...

    Sofa in a sack aka Bolster in a bag

    That is typically something They do in Rainbow demos. It's supposed to demo the power of the machine. Guy was not happy when I did the same thing with my Kirby. Joe.

    Cleaning the outside of the canister What is the best to use to clean the scuff marks off the canister and polish it? I was going to use glass cleaner, but the manual says not to. What can I use?

    Miele Plus S251

    The doctor is in! Went to the vacuum store today and got the proper bags and filters for it. Now, hook up the Electrolux and start cleaning it out. Luckily, my neighborhood shop is an authorized Miele dealer. He asked me if I wanted generic bags and I said no. I always use genuine supplies for...

    Compact Hepa filter upgrade on Compact C9

    I don't think that would negatively affect it As a matter of fact, I think that is a brilliant idea! I'm gonna do the same thing to both of my Compacts and my old Kenmore canister. Where do you get those filters? Joe

    Miele Plus S251

    We'll today was an exercise in frustration. I hopped the bus and went to Bed Bath and Beyond to get bags and found out that they don't actually carry the bags. They have to order them. Even though they have a Miele on display, it's a low end model and if you want it,they have to order it too...

    Miele Plus S251

    Hey Rob I just looked up that PN you recommended. It looks like its a direct connect. Mine has an external cord that plugs into the hose. If I bought one of those, would I need to replace my wands and hose too? Is there another non Miele nozzle that is good that will work with what I have...

    Miele Plus S251

    It was the Davey Twingle Had no intention of thrifting today. Then this irresistible feeling came over me and next thing I knew I was on the bus heading to the thrift store. When the Twingle hits, don't resist. You will find a treasure.

    Miele Plus S251

    I think Thanks Rob. I kinda knew that the turbo nozzle and crevice tool belong to a different vacuum, and the thrift store employees just bundled them with it. My gain. I can find a machine they will work with. I've wanted a Miele. Just never thought I'd get one for that price for the great...

    Miele Plus S251

    Hi everyone. I wasn't going to do it, but today I went thrifting and a Miele Plus S251 followed me home. I only paid $15 for it and it is in really nice shape. Is anybody familiar with this machine? I need to do the obvious such as replace filters and get bags for it. Any recommendations as...

    Finaly My Moms first vacuum I was given one,

    Only thing I remember about Moulinex was the La Machine. First food processor I ever saw. Here's a link to one. I was a kid then, and it kinda scared me. Joe http://www.ebay.com/itm/moulinex-la-machine-/231306374335?pt=Small_Kitchen_Appliances_US&hash=item35daef2cbf

    Weird Kirby week.

    My Sanitronic VII Has a sirocco bag, but the Kirby name is in loosely spaced ovals, like the pattern on the DS-80 bag. It must be a replacement, and I'm pretty sure it's a genuine Kirby bag because the tag on it has the Scott and Fetzer name and logo. Here are some pictures of it. This is...
