I now use an Electrolux AP280 (just got it from Kijiji Calgary). I used to use a JohnnyVac Jazz canister. My mom (in Fort Wayne, IN) uses a Dyson DC25 Ball Animal. Back in my childhood, our daily driver was a Kirby Tradition. We also had a Sears-Kenmore DynoMite canister vac for hard floors...

Serial number Thanks petek! The serial number in my AP280 is: 2037920 Since the first number is 2, would that make it a 1982?

Where would I find the serial number? Today, I went to several Calgary vacuum stores, and found some Electrolux attachments (the reversible floor brush, combination upholstery/dusting brush, and a crevice tool). One vacuum place replaced my powerhead with a different one, closer to the colours...

Last night I saw an ad on Kijiji Calgary for an Electrolux AP280 for $40, so I responded. So I went down to southern Calgary to buy it and pick it up tonight. Here are some photos of it. It appears the hose and power nozzle may not be original to this model (the AP280 was made between 1978...

In my elementary, junior high, and high school years (1982-1994) in the USA, I remember seeing lots of Hoover uprights in the classroom. I even used one as part of after-school work crew in high school (I went to a small high school whose students were all involved in cleaning up everyday after...

Are there any significant differences between the two Kirby Sentria models (Sentria and Sentria II)? There are some cosmetic changes (in terms of colour of trim and bag). The hand grip at the bottom of the Sentria II handle is blue, vs. the orange hand grip on the Sentria, and the bag on the...

Tania... I sent you an email (my name is Francis Smith) expressing my interest in one of the NIB Traditions; my email address is [email protected]. Please contact me, thanks!

Re: "New Kirby Traditions" by airwaylady Hi airwaylady! I'm living in Calgary, Canada, now. Would it be feasible to ship there? I'm interested in one of those. Thanks!

Lois' vacuum definitely sounds like my Kirby Tradition (and others from that era)!

Clean up first? Judging by the photos of my vacuum, does it need cleaning up first? How would I do so?

Buffing machines What kind of buffing machines are effective for projects like this? What's out there? I live in an apartment, and my only power tool is a drill. At Rona, I have seen a kit containing a drill bit adaptor, two soft wheels (polishing and buffing), and two compounds (cleaning...

I recently obtained a Kirby Tradition from an authorised Kirby dealer here in Calgary. It works beautifully (I just need to get the entire attachment set for this model). However it definitely needs polishing (you can see it in the photos following). I have an electric drill, and have seen a...

I wonder if this was the inspiration for the design of the phasers in Star Trek: The Next Generation? These phasers definitely look like Dustbusters!
