I didn't need this as I now have well over 100 machines but I couldn't help myself. I found this machine on the Facebook marketplace for $30 and thought it seemed to be a good deal for a high quality vac. This seems to be a TOL model because most I have seen have wooden brush rolls and mine has...

Got to love those Elites! I have one of those as well along with others 😀Great job!

Talked them down to $30 I will be picking it up tomorrow! I will post pics later

Too bad it's gone now. I have a great Kirby dealer in Morganton but would love to have one here in Lenoir as well.

The timing on this was perfect... I was just getting on here to try to find some info on this very vacuum. I seen one for sale on the Facebook marketplace for $40. It looks to be in great shape and if all goes as planned I will be getting it Friday. Seems like they are excellent machines...

Decided to break out my Kirby Heritage to do some cleaning today. I just love using older machines especially since this one has a shakeout bag. This is one of my favorite Kirby's I love the color scheme on this one.

Hans I would have loved to have met them as well. So sad we went from having two vac shops in Lenoir to having none. I sure do miss them and Clay Floyd as well. He was such a nice guy. I used to love going to his shop as a kid. I always hoped to work for him someday. Was the Kirby office in the...

Just acquired this from a thrift store for $5. I about had a heart attack lol. It has all attachments and even the owners booklet and an original bottle of shampoo from when it was purchased! She runs beautifully. This is just today's pics as-is but I got to clean this baby up. More pics to follow.

So the other day my Fiancé was out thrifting with his mother and brought me home this beautiful orange Dial-A-Matic. I was so thrilled because now I have two. I love these colors so much I decided to make them part of a display in my house. I have done this with my Electolux Automatic E as well...

I stumbled upon this one day while browsing the web and find it very interesting. It looks to me like a modern day GE Roll Easy. However this is made by Hoover and is called the Air Revolve Canister. I would like to have one but definantly can't justfy the $299 price tag. I own a Hoover...

Very good point, Those circuit boards are extremely annoying. Pretty much all of Hoovers new china made crap has that. I have had many of the canisters that are just piles of useless junk now due to circuit boards burning up.

It saddens me... That money and profit have driven us into this disposable society we are today. Vacuum cleaners used to be considered as an appliance you keep for years such as a washer or dryer. Now people consider them a disposable appliance and by them every year or so. I have seen several...

I see this all to common at many different stores, vacuum displays with carpet fresh right under them. Years ago I recall someone telling me that these company's work together to boost each other's sales. Buy a new vacuum, use carpet fresh to "refresh" your carpet, carpet fresh ruins the vac...

Got to love the fur baby's One of the several helpers who makes messes in my house. Having pets is a joy, but sometimes can be a chore...

dysonman1 Very good point, I believe the hose and the cord could use a little more length as well. I do find myself changing outlets quite often. Other than that this thing is a real pleasure to use. Considering I only paid $20 for the machine I'm one lucky guy! P.S. I really hope to be able...

Another great find from my local Kirby office. I have never owned a Miele but I must say this is now one of my very favorite vacuums to use. It's so quiet, powerful and very well made. The power nozzle has a great feel and grooms my carpet so well. Another feature I really like about this...

I love these machines as well Here is some of my collection, I have many fond childhood memories of Dirt Devil vacuums.

So after some time of wanting a Kirby Sentria 2, I managed to acquire 2 in one week. One I bought from my local Kirby dealer for $50 and the other I found in a abandoned storage unit for $25. Both machines have a full set of attachments and shampooer. After a quick cleanup and polish I now...

Yesterday while making my rounds to my local Kirby dealer their trade-in room was full of nothing but Kirbys. There were several Sentria 2's so I told them I was really interested in purchasing one of the machines, as I didn't have one in my collection. She told me they had planned to...

Thanks! I appreciate all of the info, I didn't know a lot about this machine. Nice to know I have something kind of rare!
