    Kirby question

    Can anyone tell me aside from the size, what is the difference between the Heritage 2 and the Heritage 2 Legend? The Legend needs a floor nozzle, is it smaller than the Heritage?, or will a just plain Heritage fit it? Is the Legend a different colour? I saw some floor nozzels on EBay in red...

    Kenmore Heavy Duty

    After more digging through my stash of old catalouges, the heavy duty was shown through to at least 1985, thats where my 80s end, then in the 1991 catalouge it looked like this. The heavy duty top middle looks like a real brute.

    QVC Shopping disaster video from the UK

    I only watch it when Joan is on too. I must admit I bought my mom the faberge egg bracelet for her birthday. Most of Joan's jewellery looks like it is right out of the 80s. Too bad her face wasn't.

    Yesterdays Find.

    I never knew Kirbys came in two sizes. The little one is missing his whole face. Is the brushroll the same size on the Legend as the Heritage? Oh and the vacuum works and has great suction, a little noiser than his big brother.

    Yesterdays Find.

    The first thing I learned on Vacuum Land was to polish with Mothers. I always used it on the car anyway. I like the smell of it and the ease of polishing it off.

    Yesterdays Find.

    I took my Kirby in for service. It needed a new switch and cord. After I picked it up and was heading down the street, I saw this big pile of mud more on the road than the sidewalk. It was another Kirby totally soaked by the passing cars. I thought it was too far gone to bring home, but I did...

    Hoover Dial-A-Matic U6003

    Nice paint job! The dial a matic I think is my favorite. My aunt had a green one that matched her shag carpet perfectly. A couple of years later my mom bought the same one. I always liked the way the Check Bag metal sign would bounce up and down when you vacuumed.
