    What do you think of the Kirby sentria

    I have a Sentria that takes the F bag. Mine just sits in the bathroom collecting dust. I have used it once. I like my Diamond Edition a lot better then the Sentria. I don't like the plastic handle, and I hate the new LED Headlight. Dan

    New toy! Thanks to Will Hemb!!

    I have that Kenmore canister. Mine has a permanent cloth bag in it instead of the paper bags, I have never seen a permanent cloth bag for the canisters before. My hose is starting to crack though. I wonder if there is some kind of lubricant of some kind to rub on the hose to soften the vinyl up..

    Musty smell from two older Hoover vacuums

    Stinky Vacuums To get rid of the musty smell, I spray the inside of the vacuum (where the bag goes) with Fabreeze then let it dry and that might take the smell out.. It works with uprights like Kirby or old Hoover covertibles spraying it inside the cloth outer bags...Dan

    I need to take a second to brag on Aerus Electrolux customer service.

    No Aerus/Lux Dealer in this state The only close dealer here is in Billings Montana. I called them to ask them if they could fix my Aerus/Lux Gaurdian Platinum so the power nozzle will shut off when you turn the machine off. Well they told me to send it back to the dealer back east that I...

    The Kirby Company: Models Through the Years
