    If I owned Kirby...

    Human I'm sure not all of them are sociopaths, but there are definitely some bad actors in the mix. I was actually thinking about becoming a Kirby Salesman when I was younger, but I canned it after everything I heard about hard it is to actually make decent money off it (though I was only...

    If I owned Kirby...

    KirbyG6 First of, not to be the grammar police, but periods are a wonderful thing. Secondly, that'd be a cool thing. Although, I'm pretty sure Royal did exactly that with their machines, but since they're gone, maybe it's fair game? I wasn't around to witness the unveiling of the Avalir 1 and...

    If I owned Kirby...

    PanasonicVac I totally agree. Kirby's trade-in program that they force onto their customers is kind of scummy, especially if they're trying to get people to trade in an older G Series Machine for an Avalir. They'd just be buying virtually the same machine again! Also, people just like having...

    Me personally, since I'm mentally unhinged, I'll vacuum mine then wipe it down with Lysol wipes.

    Kirby Legend ii accessories question

    I never thought much about the Legend ii, I've always thought of it as Kirby's first steps of them developing their "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" mentality. However, upon looking at images of the Legend ii on Google, I saw some that were paired with Generation Series styled attachments, and...

    If I owned Kirby...

    Like a lot of us on this site, I love Kirbys. They may not be my all time favorite vacuum brand of all time, but they're up there somewhere. However, it needs to be said that their product line has been more-or-less stagnant since the 1990s. They've seemingly adopted the "if it ain't broke...

    Weird Kirby Mattress cleaning contraptions

    PanasonicVac Yeah, I know what you're talking about. I've been faintly searching for one ever since I first heard about them, especially a commercial model. It's kind of ironic that one of the few uprights with tools that Oreck put out got shot down by a lawsuit.

    Weird Kirby Mattress cleaning contraptions

    Update Found this one mounted on a Sentria being used on carpets. I guess they can be used on those too?

    Weird Kirby Mattress cleaning contraptions

    Recently while searching through Ebay, I came across a listing for an odd Kirby G6. It was set up as a handheld, but the headlight was removed and in its place was a weird-looking UV light device, which I assume runs off of the wiring for the headlight bulb. The device was labeled under a...

    How good are Kirby Carpet Shampoo Systems/Portable Shampooers at cleaning carpets?

    Thank you for all of the replies. Even if it wasn't what I was hoping to hear about Kirby Shampooers, it was still valuable. That said, I still plan on shampooing my dad's room with my G7 whenever I get around to getting it serviced/polished. However, looking back on the results I got with the...

    What OSHA regulation states that commercial vacuums need to have 3 prong cords?

    This is for a school project. I need it ASAP. If anybody knows, please link it here.

    How good are Kirby Carpet Shampoo Systems/Portable Shampooers at cleaning carpets?

    I get that this is by no means an original question, however, it's one that's been burning inside me. I recently have gotten back into Kirbys, and of course, that includes their various accessories, including the carpet shampoo system. When I lived in a different house, I used mine to shampoo...

    Kirby Ultimate G help

    JustJunque I'll try to remember to upload more photos when I can, and let you be the judge. Also there's another problem I forgot to mention, the Toe-Touch Control is skipping. What's the fix for it?

    Looking to buy a vacuum cleaner for my model train club.

    I'm looking to get a decent bagged upright vacuum for my model railroad club, and am looking for recommendations. -The place has a mix of carpets, bare-floors, and these floor-puzzle tile mat things, though this machine would mostly be used for carpets, as we have Shop-Vacs and other machines...
