Charles, I couldn't agree more. The bag less sickness that has hit the vacuum world is just a visual easy sell and those vacuums do not clean any better than a vacuum with a bag. And like you said....try to empty one and keep the dirt contained...it won't happen. Not to mention the cost of...

Those were awesome machines. I used one for years at a local grocery store my mom worked at. I would go early to help close the store..I would do the vacuuming...the whole store was carpet...built in the 70's

Watch is the air flow compared to the Kirby? Nice machine!

Replacement brushrolls are also readily available.

Rick, Thanks for sharing this. Portland was one of the Best Conventions ever. Dave did a wonderful job planning. Starks is truly an impressive vacuum store and museum. The Westinghouse Convert-O-Vac was fun. I am quite sure it had not been run in sometime. What I appreciated was seeing...

I like using a canister simply because my house is small and changing attachments on my Kirby can be challenging for space issues. I would put my Ultimate G up against any of my canisters as far as tool suction and cleaing performance. I use my Super J or Lux Special most of the time when...

I have Royals and Kirbys and love them both. I personally think the Kirby cleans better but like the weight of the Royal. The newer Royal Everlast series are awesome cleaners. My only complaint is the noice level. Performance is awesome. You can't beat the filtration on the new Kirby's ...

Kirby verses Hoover... Kirby ofcourse! Ducks and runs!

I am surprised about the Kirby Belt. I have never broken one of the new style belts and find that they last a long time. The Avalir looks sharp and I am sure it cleans very well. However, it is not enough to make we want to buy one.

Awesome Find!

Wish I could be there...will miss John Long's stories. Have fun!

She wouldn't get it back if it were mine! I don't understand why folks can't take care of appliances. When I traded my lawnmower it looked like new after 3 years. My vacuums never get that bad...

I guess because we lived close to Illinois Eureka was more popular where I grew up. There were not many folks who owned Hoover and most were Eureka canisters. Personally, I have always felt that Eureka cleaned better. The Vibra-groomer 1 has stood the test of time. I would agree with Hans...

Ken, I would agree, Portland and this convention stick out as some of the best. CWP employees were so kind and respectful. Not surprising though, know they are part of the Scott Fetzer group. Kirby has always been know for their superior products and services. Morgan

Rick, Thanks for sharing this! Starks is an awesome place. The year we attended Portland was probably one of my most favorite Conventions. Dave Olsen did a bang up job. Stark's employee's went above and beyond being leaders in the industry. As people would pull up to the door members of...

OMG! First and foremost, take the vacuum away from her....I can't beleive people can be so dumb! Although my sister did that one time...only using my moms 508 Kirby...what a mess...she didn't want to touch the poo....

I used one of those for years. My mom worked in a local grocery store that was all carpet. When it would break down they would bring in the owners 514 model Kirby...which out cleaned the Clark machine.

John, Your events would be awesome to attend. I always enjoy your photos. And always enjoy seeing other good vacuums in your house.. ducks and runs

The VCCC conventions are the Best! There is never a dull moment. Our Convention Planners have a full agenda for the entire time. Barb sent out a thread that I thought included the hotel and airport information. Perhaps we can get her to repost that information. I have to miss this year as I...
