Rob, I don't know how she does it...but I remember a time we were with a group and went to a home in Chicago where the basement was full of vacuums...I was scared to death..it was a fire trap. The next thing I knew, we could see Tania's feet underneath the stair case...yelling ...I found it...

I had a call on Wednesday from Tania, she spotted a like new Tristar at a pawn shop close to my house. Of course she called and first asked, "if you want it Morgan it is there, if you don't I would love to have it". Friday morning I headed over to inspect the vacuum. She was right, it was...

I personally don't like them. I live in a smaller home and wide nozzle machines don't fit in spaces I need them to fit. I also have to wonder what it does to air flow, especially newer machines with air flow not directed from the center but rather from the end of the machine. My guess is the...

Only 11.......my dear boy you have only started!

Mark, Kirby can rebuild almost all of their machines and make them look like new. They don't however have parts, bags and trim in original colors any more for some of the early machines. But the main parts of the machines they still can completely rebuild and replace all parts. (not sure...

I would hurt anyone who placed a vacuum on such a nice looking vehicle...they wouldn't sit on mine..the wax would cause them to slide off...LOL

Evan Just email me here

For me I like both, but now the house we live in is mainly hardwood with area rugs. So for now, a canister with a power head works the best. It amazes me how so many vacuum companies now claim that their upright is capable of bare floor cleaning and good attachment usage. None of which is...

It doesn't make any difference, she has the hose, so any of the Generation series would be fine.

I am looking for a complete set of attachments for a Sentria. Some friends that have gone thru a divorce, she got the vacuum, he destroyed the attachments... Would like to help her find a nice set. Thanks Morgan

Actually, I love using either machines. I have a several Royals and Kirby's in my collection and enjoy using them all.

Thomas, The Tradition was sold with either the paper bag option or the shake out option. ( think they did that up thru the Heritage Series. Personally, I would keep the paper bag version, much easier to care for and it really doesn't affect the air flow. (unless of course the bag is full)...

Bill, As a member of the VCCC, serving for 8 years as president and now as treasurer, I would welcome you to join the VCCC. Our members are very knowledgable and share our resources well with one another. As with any club, there are dues and fees for being a part of who we are. But with that...

Reading all of these threads brings a tear to my eyes. It was just a week ago at this time Barb, Michael and I were meeting with the hotel staff to get our room ready for the weekend. As always, it was so much fun, very well organized, lots to see and do, but best part of all was getting...

And John you were a good sport! Even if I did try to hide the Hoover logo while we were touring the plant! Those who did not attend missed a great event. Every year they get better!

Thanks John, The 2014 VCCC convention was a huge success. There was so much to see an do that I am sure many of us were too tired to post pictures at the time. I know Steve B. has posted many pictures on Facebook and here using a Facebook link. Many of our folks were not heading directly home...

The club personally supports Kirby's decision. Understanding their business model we understand the reasoning behind no pictures. The company treated us very well and did allow photos in the lobby where the collection of older machines is held. They don't allow their sales reps or anyone to...

No photos! Kirby and Cleveland Wood Products neither would allow photos. In fact we had to all sign waivers saying we would not take photos. However we had a surprise trip to Filter Queen today and they did allow pictures! Long story, but one of their Florida sales reps stayed at our hotel...
