    Kirby Tradition found at Goodwill today

    The Tradition got A mini spa treatment and a mild hand polishing. I'll be getting it a new fan and brushroll.

    Kirby Tradition found at Goodwill today

    After years of searching, I FINALLY found decent Tradition! I had one 4 years ago, but it had some problems, so I parted it out and I don't regret it. I put that good armature in my Omega that I restored. This Tradition runs strong and it's very quiet - no bearing noise. As found, it had a...

    Great job! It cost $5.00 to print at the library, but it was definitely worth it!

    Deodorizing Vacuums

    How 'bout this? Just yesterday, I had a scuffle with my G3. I went to vacuum with it, but when I did, I was greeted by a horrible rotten fish smell! I took it completely apart, washed the pieces in hot soapy water, and put it all back together. You can still smell it, just not nearly as much...

    KIRBY AVALIR

    But you must remember, That this base model has been used for 25 years. The Generation series is the longest running series of Kirbys ever. The 500 series ran for 24 years, and the Classic series for 19 years. The Avalir is still just a rebadged Sentria. We just have to hope and pray that the...

    KIRBY AVALIR

    I'm with Alex on this one... I dread the day that the above machine is the new Kirby. That thing looks nothing like a Kirby. I hope the new machine is the 505, Classic 1CR, and the G3. That is to say it's a true Kirby with the traditional design, just with enhanced features and capabilities...

    KIRBY AVALIR

    Why thank you! For your approval of my collection, Super-Sweeper! Maybe I should moove that 13" HII head now that the word's out. Someone will track me down!

    KIRBY AVALIR

    I want it too... And I have almost every model from the 508 to the Sentria!

    KIRBY AVALIR

    Unfortunately... The 505 pictured is not mine. I wanted to show the resemblance of the Avalir to the 505, so I grabbed the only non-copyrighted image of a 505 off of Google images I could find. I WISH it was mine! Maybe someday I'll have a 505 that nice. I guess I should have specified that...

    KIRBY AVALIR

    The new Kirby Does have that effect on people! Especially collectors. I am really starting to like the Avalir. It reminds me of the 505.

    KIRBY AVALIR

    It's starting to grow on me... It reminds me of a 505! With the black trim and chrome. The big KIRBY on the bag is reminiscent of the old C series and early 500 series bags. I hope someone will bring an Avalir to St. Louis next year!

    KIRBY AVALIR

    Look back in time... I had a feeling Kirby would pull a fast one. Just look at the machines from 1982-1989. Heritage, Heritage II, Heritage II Legend, Legend II. Now take Sentria, Sentria II, Sentria II Avalir, and next will probably be the Avalir II. I predict to wait at least 5 more years for...

    It'll probably be A Sentria II Legend. In hot pink and chartreuse!

    Kirby

    The distributors' convention starts tomorrow! I can't wait to see a sneak peak of the new Kirby! I remember when the Sentria II came out, someone whipped out their phone to take a picture or two. Maybe this year, we'll get to see some sneak peaks again.

    Kirby

    I can see that... Everyone is on edge about seeing the first new Kirby in over 20 years. Only a few more days! I'm constantly checking VL and the Kirby website, I'm starving for information.
