Les, "my favorite one never closed and I was glad for it as I"m friends with the owner. :-) " okay, I'll try it, 1. my favorite vacuum store never closed during this virus scare 2.I was glad it didn't close 3. I'm friends with the owner of my favorite vacuum store

my favorite one never closed and I was glad for it as I"m friends with the owner. :-)

not black so much kirbyclassicIII. that doesn't appear to be black like you suggest, just dark grey, which is like mine...and like all the ones I"ve ever seen....just like Les' photos. I suspect its the lighting in the photo that leads you to think its black

Holy clogs Batman! That is THE worst filter I've seen

So I just used a Kirby shampooer after thinking of this thread, I paid extra attention as I did the cleaning . Stains are gone afterwards ( I pretreated the concerning spots)& it didn’t take a whole day to dry Instead, it took 1.5 hrs. I vacuumed , then shampooed, then dried then vacuumed...
