    My first Kirby Refurb

    I can't believe I've never shared this on Vacuumland! This is my first ever Kirby refurbishment, a Kirby G4. It was in okay shape to start. I really just had to clean it out internally. I did wet sand the aluminum and polish with a small polishing wheel on a drill. It's not as good as my...

    How to Kill a Kirby 518

    $99?!?!  Wow!   I wouldn't pay $9 for that monstrosity.  In whoever's defense, I'm sure she doesn't know how a 518 is supposed to look.  But still, $99?!  That thing doesn't even have both front wheels!

    So...Daily Drivers? (pre 1995)

    Suckolux So glad you're using your Kirby! Have you tried cheating and extending the brushes on the brush roll a bit?  Extending the brushes past the recommended 1/16" will help break the seal on the carpet, thereby rendering the unit easier to move.  You should notice lovely Kirby lines on the...

    My Kirby Heritage II, using Heritage attachments

    This is my Kirby Heritage II, which was rescued from Savers and gifted to me by my bestie. We cleaned it up a bit, but it definitely needs to be restored to a showroom shine. I just got the hose yesterday from another dear friend Charles Richard Lester. Prior to this, I had never used my...

    Selling My Collection

    Larry Once your auction ends and you decide to piece it out, I would be interested in the 508 and 505 for sure, although it seems someone else here already wants the 505.  Do let me know if I can buy that off of you!

    Kirby marketing?

    I got it also And I also signed up on kirby.com for the Newsletter.  Not too surprised to have gotten it.  Wouldn't it be wonderful if Kirby offered some perks, gifts, etc. to those who were generous enough to give their contact information?   I guess that's asking for far too much.

    A Strange Kirby Classic Omega...

    The two things I see that are "out of whack" are the power cord, and the lack of headlight lens/different headlight assembly.  Did I get it right?!?!
