What would be more impressive would be to have them done up in the camo hunting patterns or with sports team logos. Every man cave would have a Kirby.

Kirby did have another incident. When they introduced the Dual Sanitronic. The windings on the armature didn't hold at the increased speed. Kirby had to correct the problem then replace the armatures that failed. A long time friend of mine was a dealer at the time this happened. All new...

vacuum manufactures have been advocating vacuuming your mattress well before now. Check Kirby's owners manuals as far back as possible. So did other manufactures. Hardly a new concept. I vacuumed a king size mattress years ago with a Kirby Classic Omega. The mattress was about 20 yrs old at...

You say it doesn't work. However didn't describe what isn't working. Is the machine not applying solution? If not check to make sure the jets on the carpet tool aren't clogged. Over time the detergent will crystallize and clog the jets and or filter screen in the clean water tank and or supply...

Well....... Rainbow announced just before the new SRX was released for sale that Rainbow was able to increase the performance of the new model by 30% in comparison to the previous models. From the pictures posted and comments here. There have been other "improvements" depending what you...

I have had the good fortune of using bag less vacuums a few times. These of course where used by the average american that doesn't know of the possible short comings we do here. The fact that over time the cyclones do become clogged with dust and there is a post filter or two that do in fact...

@dysonman Yes I know I have an E series with the hepa filter and a Rexair from 1945. And they need a post filter in spite of Rexair/Rainbow's claim wet dust doesn't travel. And that is true but only if it is the right kind of "dust".

The truth is we live in a disposable age. Most people don't care and wouldn't take the time to try and fix it. For them it is much easier to go out and by a new machine. I for one like quality equipment. I also learned early on how to do proper maintenance. Other than the over all performance...

Sorry to hear of your loss. May she be in your heart and fond memories forever. I vote bagged vacuum all the way.

That is one down side to a water trap vacuum there are some things you would commonly find in a house the that can't be trapped by water as it doesn't absorb water fast enough to be stopped in the water like common house dust can. I'm still old school and prefer a bagged vacuum no mater what...

sounds like the timing belt powering the transmission is what is making the noise.

@vacman1961 Great Idea. Had not gotten around to thinking of bungee strap as an option.

Since the Kirby Classic Omega model. All the Kirby models already have double insulation right from the factory.

@gottahaveahoover And I do.

I'm like fine wine I get better with age. L.M.A.O

@huskyvacs People think I'm nuts for spending money on a Kirby. How ever Still have it 30 years later. Go figure. I also have one that my grandmother bought in 1972. Hmmm. what paying good money for a quality product will get you. At the same time I think they are nuts to spend over 300.00 for...

Any Ideas where I can find the bumper's/furniture guard or acceptable replacement for the Model 700 and the Model 26. Sorry the Kirby is a ham and wanted in the picture with the new acquisitions. It was one as well at the time. LOL Sorry folks that the picture is side ways. I tried everything...

John I have to say that I have over the years done well with a Hoover as well.

I will let all of you pick your assault weapon of choice on dirt and grime. I have my favorite Kirby that does suck. I can watch it pick the carpet up off the floor and any thing else that will pass between any two fan blades currently installed on it. Love it.

Is this the truth????
