That Bison is absolutely sexy! And I like those vectrons, love how they look like a product of their time.

One of my favorite parts of my collection is my old school dirt devil hand vacs. I saw one as a kid and they might honostly have what sparked my passion for sweepers. I'm trying to collect all colors of the old ones. I have many of them, I even have one of the green rare ones. I DID have a 2nd...

Always happy to see someone get their 'holy grail' find :). Mine were more simple than that, but none the less an excellent feeling!

That kenmore tho I am a sucker for those shape kenmore powerheads! I am like 80% upright, 20% canister, but those kenmores get me.

Glad I'm not the only one When you can buy them for a fraction of the price as you would at say walmart, then why not? I'll also pick up attatchments, brushrolls, etc. I also sell some sweepers on the side and it's really helpful to have that stuff. I do keeo some belts but not a ton. Just...

Whenever I'm out looking for new sweepers, I often find bags, attatchments, etc., as well and I often times pick them up. I've got a number of peices of things here and there, but I decided to go thru my bags today. I ended up reorganizing them and counting and logging how many I had of each...

Kirbyclassic3 To be honost I didn't know they made shake out bags still at the time for those models. Then again it's kirby, I should havw known better lol

Thanks for the info about the concepts. Kirbyvertibles that is a wild collection of concepts! Excellent work on tracking that many down!

I was out with the wife today, out doing some thrifting of course, and there sits this lovely light blue concept 1. Got it home, and boy howdy was it as clogged as it can possibly be. I mean the mass was the entire length of the air inlet, and hard. I had to use a screw driver to get the crud...

Broomvac Haha wow don't I feel silly? It must have come like that and I didn't even notice! Well thank you for letting know though, I do appreciate it.

this Heritage 2 recently for $10 at a goodwill outlet. I'm really amazed at its condition considering where it came from. It does need a brushroll, but aside from that it's in pretty great shape. Even the lettering and colors on the height adjuster are quite great shape. Kirby peeps, which look...

Still going! Can we appreciate this thread is still going since 2013?

Kirbyvertible Thank you for letting me know :)

Nice one What an odd looking brushroll those have! Atleast compared to the age of ones I normally deal with, 1970's and up usually.

Carolinaguy1996 Thanks for the info. I can get to the motor easily enough, actually pretty easy to swap. Problem is I pretty sure the reason why it failed is I used capture powder with it before in the past. At the time I didn't know as much about capture, and the package said you can use it...

Thanks for the comment and info guys! Kirbyvertibles you are right, it is quite loud even without there being anything wrong with it. It does good though, quite a charming machine. I always thought the rear mountes bag was an interesting design choice.

It has become a sad day, my favorite bagless of all time has just died. I never even got to use it much. I decided to pull it out today, and sweep the bedroom woth it. In a minute or two of running, it started sounding funny, and in the matter of seconds I smell smoke and it starts coming out...

I got this the same day as the singer I recently posted, a whole $10! Not bad considering this is the very first powermax, or anything from the concept lineage that I've found that actually works. Bad luck maybe? Either way, as you can see most of the attatchments are missing, but it does have...

Love me a kirby! Kirbys are excellent, extremely durable and repairable if needed. It's very hard to find anything that cleans as well as a kirby. The diamond edition is a neat one, a good piece to start with.

Opinions on it? I like it's sound, and the shape of the head is appealing. It actually does a nice job, not like anything crazy good but appreciably well and grooms decently
