    Vac Recommendations

    I would like to add my support for the Panasonic 902. But I'd like to suggest some USED high-end machines like a Filter Queen, Tri Star, Air Storm or Air Way. Justin

    Cleaning out the storage room

    That's OK Joshua, life happens... sometimes it happens a lot. If you have a spare Kirby D80 or Classic 1CR I would be really happy. Best wishes. Justin [email protected]

    TurboBrushes Refusing to Live

    Has anyone out there used the Wessel Werk HEB160 mini Power Brush on a Fairfax or Tri Star? Do they fit well. It looks great, and I'd love to get one. But first, I need to know if it would work with the vacuums I have. Thanks, Justin

    If you could design a vacuum...

    I would like to design two vacuums, one upright and one canister. The upright would be a Kirby Sanitronic based machine with stronger metal fan, stainless steel brush roller in the 'Oblique' style, it would have a Mini Emtor like the new Sentria II and use HEPA bags. The hose would be wired for...

    Good Bissell Experiences

    I have a Pro Heat Pet and I love it. I have used it to clean carpets for three friends and it has been great. I like being able to 'turn off' the shampoo flow and just rince with clean water. A very nice feature, Hoover should think about that. Justin

    Supervac 180

    If I'm not mistaken the Janitronic came out in the very late '60s. I was told by the Rep at CWP that he'd asked Kirby for the drawings and mesurements for the 18" brush roller and was told that they had been tossed out years ago. I'm supposed to take some pictures of mine and send them to him. I...

    Supervac 180

    I love mine. It did not have the original bag, bag top cover or cord. So I had to put a 40' orange cord, Heritage Emtor with fill tube and G4 tube top on it with a Tradition bag, bag top cover and bag guard on mine. It looks a little funny, but it works wonderfully. By the way, I spoke to a rep...

    My Coppertone Rainbow D2

    That darker model is the one we had when I was a kid. I think my cousin's husband (now an ex-husband) was selling them. That must have been at the time the D3 was just coming out. Sadly, mom used it some years later to clean out lazer printer cartridges... that did not work out very well. I...

    My "Go To" Vac

    Rob, I'm a dyed-in-the-wool Kirby guy, but have been using an Electrolux L for sweeping the floors and cleaning off upholstery and beding as well as using my Sanitaire SC684 on the carpets. I think it is just fine to try other things, it's all about fun. Using something other than what you...

    Kirby Rebuilding

    As far as I know the 'Factory Rebuild' pricing is only for original owners. I have heard that you can still have the vacuum rebuilt by the factory but at a higher price. If there is an 800 number in the owners manual you should just call it and get the number for the Rebuild Center. That way you...

    ...and it's a Bissell

    He certainly likes to be videoed in his underpants. I think he's proud of something, but I don't think it's his vacuum cleaner. Justin

    NEW THREAD FROM HOPESTER

    Hopester, I am so sorry, but I will not be able to buy that Kirby G5. Since my little health problem last summer I have not been able to work... and now the damn water pump and hoses in my elderly car have to be replaced and it's going to take me two weeks to save up that much money. I hope...

    I need input-Which Kirby bags are best (pet hair)/site/vendor with best prices online

    I just found a place that seems to be selling a case of 4 6-packs of those Envirocare HEPA bags for $69.95, normally $118.95. The web address is www.vacuumbags.com/ the company is called A-Z Vacuums Bags. At that price it's $2.91 per bag. I know that's not really cheep, but is that a better...

    Kirby bags

    I know that you can silk screen onto the new bags, I have never done it nor do I actually have silk screening equipment. I wish I had bought the silk screening machine a company I worked for was selling. It would have paid off several times over by now if I had. Justin
