The vacuums I plan on using in the house get a bath also,I have a large shower in the second bathroom that could hold about 4 inches of water,and the hand held shower massage helps when I need to waterblast some parts,another advantage is the shower stays very clean because I have to clean it...

Hi Eric, Cute Kitty,mine always has to inspect anything new that comes into the house also, I can barely sew a button on if I have to,my Grandmother was a seamstress,I tried to learn but every time I just got the machine all tangled up,I can do most everything else from cut and coloring hair to...

Nice find Eric and great price too,looks like the original bag,I worked at a Kirby dealer back then,I was only 14,I did all the repairs,I remember the Omegas,Classic Threes and Heritage models fresh out of the box,If I remember right the Omega had kind of little rubbery textured dots on the...

Hi Alan and Cory, I won this one on e-bay,it wasn't listed as vintage or as having the small head,I was just looking through all the Kirby's and ran across it and noticed the small head and there wasn't very many people bidding on it so I got it pretty cheap,I don't know if it is considered...

Great Choice The Legend Two is a great machine and I love the color,I had a G4 and it didn't groom the carpets as well as my Heritage Two,It may have needed a different brush roller,I didn't like the sound of the transmission either and the thing is so heavy it will hardly move when it's not in...

Model 61 Great find,you can't beat the price,here is my well used thrift store model 62 for a few bucks a while back,need to find a decent bag for it and restore it. Mark

Wow Beautiful 1205 Great find,I have one that I got in '90,I wasn't collecting then so it was my everyday vacuum,It has the same powernozzle,I like them because they have the metel base and just seem to do a better job,you can put some pressure on them,the newer ones just don't seem to groom...

And here is my Heritage Two with the optional small head,my favorite,I have the original bag but I like the Heritage bag better. Mark

The wide Heritage Two wheels make it real balanced

Very nice machines,I have a Sanitronic but it was missing the bag and emptor and the handle was bent,so I gave it a makeover,still needs buffing.

Kirby Fan I worked for a Kirby dealer when I was 14 back in '79 doing all the repairs,Usually the fan was already broken,so the first thing I would do is hit it sharply with a hammer in the right direction and that usually worked,if it didn't the fan is broken by now,so on the older machines...

I rarely set the date on my camera

Cat in the box Cassie couldn't wait for me to take the vac out so she could get in the box.

Good Find Alan Great price too,I found a white one the other day,they wanted 19.99 for it, all the other hand vacs were priced 9.99 so I told the clerk and she said 9.99 it is then,I think it was used very little,here it is with my other thrift store Oreck upright,I've had it for Quite a...

Hi Matt, I had a Kenmore Canister,probably an early 90,s model, a wispertone,the body of the canister just started falling apart,the plastic got brittle, I have a Kenmore Progressive now that I really like,but I'm really gentle with it because the plastic is really flimsy,It has a Powermate...

Power max I had one and really liked it,It was like a Concept with on board tools,the plastic housing for the agitator was wearing out and the buttons on the drive handle were starting to break. I'd buy another one if I could find one. Mark

I was in Wal-Mart the other day and saw a Eureka canister that looks similar to my Riccar,mine uses the cloth type disposable bags and the cheapest I've seen them for is for 14.95 for a small package on e-bay,I only paid 19.99 for the vacuum at Goodwill,so I bought the Arm & Hammer brand that...

Great Vac finds Those are all great machines and kinda hard to find esp. the old Luxes in that nice condition, I have a Turquous G that I need to restore the paint on,I saw yours in another thread that looks like new,one of my favorites, Love the Car,that green with the light colored leather...

Fantom They are heavy and probably not worth the shipping charges, If you must have one of these get the Thunder,I had one that someone put out to the curb,it just needed a belt,it was a good vacuum,I wish I had kept it,I now have a Fury that I picked up at a rummage sale dirt cheap,It needed a...
