    They all take the same fan- that is the clear plastic fan that we put in the Red and Blue lines, the old (original) boss line, and everything in between. The Kirby fan, of course, is used. It came out of a G5 that we were cannibalizing yesterday.

    1. Sanitaires have much larger fans with taller and straight There's need for correction here. The Kirby and Sanitaire fan are virtually the same size, the blades on a Kirby are actually taller at some points. The Kirby fan is a much better built fan in general than the cheap plastic...

    What's in the vac Shops

    When you walk into a vacuum store, especially one with over 60 machines on display, nobody wants to see an additional 20 used vacuums. I like to consider myself a good businessman, here is how we handle pricing and moving people up and down. The last thing I want to do is sell someone a...

    Need advice on what kirby to choose.

    If you've got the money, go with the G5. Its the most elegant looking of the whole Generation series. Make sure you are getting it from a reputable seller (it seems like you are). The prices are more than fair, and you will be getting a machine that has been checked out by a repairman, most...

    "While I still like them a lot, I do see Kirbys as a "jack of all trades, master of none", all the functions it does are often bettered by other vacs, or power tools, or whatever" David- you made me laugh out loud with that comment! Thanks, and I plan to use this when people come in asking...

    and it is not easy to make one look like it is worth any mon You are exactly right Robert. It is not worth my time to make people who can't afford anything pay what its worth to buy a rebuilt machine. Its already $54 to service/change filters/ belt on a Bissell that only costs $48. We...

    I am going to withdraw from this pi$$ing match until you can come up with some photos or websites to back up what you are saying. Until then, you are just an anonymous guy who loves to talk about himself working out of his house repairing vacuums.

    gsheen "I and a number of other members on this forum probibly know more about vacuum, vortex, suction, air flow, and the entire set up of a vacuum than you will ever know in your entire life. Keep your comments to your self" Ahh, I missed your blatant attack towards me...before I correct...

    I am well aware that there are vac store owners on here- myself included. There are also a lot of very non-expert people who are highly opinionated on here. They hold about as much value as a box of rocks. I am very glad that in your busy engineering world and prototype testing world you find...

    Best deep cleaner? Kirby or sanitaire?

    Try going to a vacuum shop. You can speak to guys who know what they are talking about, and like Tolivac said- you can take it home and try it. You will find that on here, there are really no "experts" in the field- just enthusiasts that are highly obsessed or opinionated about one or a few...

    Oreck Magnesium

    Calling you out...Josh was correct because you stated: Come on down and visit sometime :-) Born in Charlotte, store is in Columbia. My accent is more of a Charlestonian accent, though.

    Oreck Magnesium

    It would be a lot more well received by more people if they used someone who was actually able to sufficiently demo the machine. I think they were aiming for "cutesy" and cutesy does not sell vacuums nowadays.

    Oreck Magnesium

    She sounds just as country and redneck as most Oreck dealers around here. Bravo to Kelsey for continuing to cheapen the brand with your horrible presentation!!! I'm hiring a monkey to do our youtube videos!!!
