    Kirby shake out bag maintenance

    Paul You can purchase from either a Dollar General or a Dollar Tree. I’ll have to grab another package and snap a picture for you.

    Kirby shake out bag maintenance

    Stocking I’ve been testing this method for a while now, trying different materials of hose, stockings, measuring (not scientifically) capacity, stretching, etc. and what I’m using does not leak any debris into the inner walls of the cloth bags. I’ve been using this method on my 511, 518...

    Heritage II - both 13 & 15” nozzles, 2 cloth bags, 2 emtors, 2 cords

    Sold Had someone I know who was interested in the whole lot, so I’ve sold it all to her. I tried to delete this listing but it won’t let me - maybe a moderator whose reading this can???

    Kirby shake out bag maintenance

    I’ve been wanting to post this for a while now, just never got to it. Personally, I LOVE LOVE LOVE using my shake out bag Kirbys. My 511, 518, Sanitronic VII, D50, and D80. What I don’t like is having to maintain the shake out bags. I know the F&G conversion, but that takes away from the...

    Questionable Craigslist find...

    Update He declined to sell. Probably declined to sell to me because I wanted information he either doesn’t know or doesn’t care to divulge. Oh well. Anyone like that isn’t worth the effort anyway, plus it’s not like there’s a shortage on Heritage I machines. I’ll find another one eventually.

    Questionable Craigslist find...

    Heritage I was thinking those went with a 516... Just curious if there’s any way (knowing it’ll be botched) for those attachments to fit that machine. If he isn’t willing to send pictures, that just makes it even more fishy, but at the same time intriguing, as I’d love to see how butchered it...

    Questionable Craigslist find...

    Saw a Heritage on CL and wanted to make an offer - but I first had some questions, as the attachments he is selling the machine with are for a 500 series. I asked him if he could take some photos with the nozzle removed so that I could see the fan case/speed switch. I mentioned to him that those...

    Heritage Turbo Groomer and Sander with original box.

    Found a set of these - then came across another. I don’t need two. I’m not sure what it should go for, just message me: [email protected] - email is best.

    Kirby Turbo Groom set finally a reality...

    Using the Groomer - and massager on turbo sander... So I used the Groomer and I have to say that it did a really great job! The blades are in excellent condition. I oiled them, hooked it up and trimmed my beard. It worked great! It is a bit inconvenient to have to use the vacuum to do something...

    My first Royal

    KirbyClassicIII Those are some beautiful machines! I’m still enjoying my Royal. It’s a great machine! I enjoy how light it is, also how durable and solid it’s built. I remember making a comment a bit back that I was finished collecting... lol! It’s an addiction - but a fun one and it’s...

    Demo gifts...

    I know several manufacturers would give people a gift of some kind after an in-home demonstration... Here is a set of knives I have that were given after a demonstration for a D80. What are some of the “prizes” you all have in your collections? Who were The manufacturers? Please share what...

    My first Royal

    sptyks... Very beautiful machine you have! So far, I’m really enjoying the Royal. It’s a good machine, maneuvers easily and certainly gets the job done! I can’t help but notice (pictures of your Royal as well as the pretty Sentria in your profile pic) how well polished and clean your...

    My first Royal

    Royal I’m really enjoying using this machine so far. It’s nowhere near as loud as some on here have said they are. I have a matching Prince hand held... all I need now is the baby blue canister and I’d have a full set!

    My first Royal

    Came across this beauty and picked it up. Seller claimed to be original owner and the machine was in very good shape, he let me test drive it to make sure I liked it (and I did). I’ve wanted a metal Royal for a while now, and at $35, it was hard to turn it down. What do you all think of this...
