Try kirbyfans  (kirbyneeds) on Ebay. He is a great sellar.          PR-21 Bud

I had a Sebo before and they sold a floor brush for it. All I did was tilt the vacuum with one hand while vacuuming hard surface floors. . .   PR-21 Bud

A Kirby doesn't just clean by air flow. They keep improving there brush rolls. The airflow and the brush roll together deep clean. Also it is important to change the belt, before it starts slipping. They make a very stiff brush roll, which I am using now.. and it grooms my carpet better than...

Kirby 505 Rebuilt from Kirby Rebuild Dept Here is my rebuild from Kirby.  Probably 10 years ago....or so. They will tell you the trim color,  it will come back in.....I think mine was $300 plus back then.     PR-21 Bud

A note of caution. I have a Eureka Model 260 and I had a 6.5  2 speed amp motor put in it. I should have left well enough alone. The new gasket around the motor leaks a small amount of dust, when you take the  motor hood off.......   PR-21 Bud

I have both and think they both clean well. With that said, seeing the actual dirty water and carpet fuzz seems very impressive even though I vacuum more than once a week. I do enjoy the fragrance that you can put in the Rainbow. Pine is especially nice during the holidays, but you should...

A friend of mines mother vacuumed and dusted the downstairs daily, not sure about Sunday's.....or the upstairs.......     PR-21 Bud

Newsletter Hi John,   I forgot there were two Vacuum websites. I am only a member of this one. Kenny sent me a link if  I want to join the other club. Sorry to confuse everyone.........   Sincerely,   Bud Mattingly PR-21

Kirby nozzle locks are hammered flat from the back, so they won't come out. I had one once that would not lock properly and Kirby put a new front fan case with nozzle lock on it.   If you do replace it don't forget to put sealant around it to seal to the fan case. Needs to be heat ...

The Air Storm takes Stormy Bags, which are hard to find. When I find them on Ebay, I buy them. With that said, TriStar Bags will fit. They just are round in shape instead of the original shape of Stormy Bags.   PR-21 Bud

The Perfect does not have an automatic bag full shut off either.     PR-21

Newsletter Hi John,   I have not received the newsletter as of yet.      Thanks,   PR-21

A good friend of mine had one and really liked it. She had a two story home, but with smaller rooms. It was perfect for her home. It was the lime green color model.....took paper bags....       PR-21   Bud

If they are the cloth type instead of paper, they should be fine.  DVC Brand makes the cloth hepa bags.     PR-21 Bud

I bought one when they first came out. It had tons of suction, but I found that using it to vacuum upholstery, the tool would seal to the surface, preventing any cleaning.....in my opinion. I knew it also didn't have a bag change indicator and you needed to use the Perfect Bags or the...

Kirby 505 Bag color. Black, Red, Gold or Premier 21 Bag color. Black and Orange.   The Kirby Avalir 100th Anniversary Bag is also very nice.       PR-21 Bud

I used to subscribe to CR, but there reports are pretty much useless for details on vacuums any more. I still buy old reports off of ebay, if I can find ones I don't already have...With that said, I have bought vacuums that they did not recommend and liked them and also bought  vacuums...

I have had two Kirby's rebuilt from the factory. A Kirby Classic  and a G5. I was very pleased with both.   Depending on how old your model is, the trim color could change from the original. For example   if I were to send my Classic in again for a rebuild, I believe it would come back...
