I actually enjoy my shake out bags for light cleaning/grooming of the carpets. Given my allergies, I usually use one of my favorite disposable bag units (Tradition, Heritage II, or Diamond) for the heavy cleaning. But if I just want to groom an already deep-cleaned carpet, I'll use one of the...

Thanks Wyaple Wow! I can't wait to try it now. I knew it had to have a use, I just couldn't figure it out. So, do you stick the long, tapered end into the fill tube and then afix the Baird meter onto the other end? Do you screw-off the black "cap"? Just trying to figure it out.

WOW! Thank you so much for posting these results, and for producing such an easy-to-read graphic. You rock! I've been wondering what those whole number values represented on the Baird. Now if I could figure out what the cylindrical spoke with metal springs around its head is used for, I'll...

Awesome! I remember I used to have one of those in my bedroom (at my insistence) in the early 90s. If I remember, I wanted to emulate the TV shows I saw where people used and carried those phones around, even though the beginning of the wireless phone craze had already begun. I can especially...

Question for Kirby 508 owners Does your Kirby 508 have a small spring on the nozzle locking lever? The lever I'm referring to is mounted on the fan case and is used to "lock" the nozzle onto the front of the unit, right before you then use the Belt Lifter to attach the belt to the pulley...

Truth be told, washing machines were probably my first mechanical interest. I remember being around 4-6 years old and being fascinated by my grandma's GE Filter Flo washing machine. I thought it was SO COOL how there was a removable "Frisbee" around the top of the agitator, and a solid stream...

I get it I have owned a couple D80s and currently own one Heritage II with another coming in about a week.  I must admit, of the vintage "pre-Generation" Kirby systems, the Heritage II holds a special place to me.  Its motor is more powerful than the DS80 motor, and is quieter than anything...

I have heard a similar sound on a newly-acquired 513.  It's like a ringing almost, but yeah, it sounds like the inner metal fan is hitting something, only not that frequent and it doesn't sound too too loud.  I would think metal hitting metal would be louder, more frequent, etc.     So yeah...

I absolutely adore the palm trees in Los Angeles. They really add to the mystique of the area. I remember an interview with Tina Turner as she described coming to LA for the first time, she was struck by the "pink houses and palm trees". It's very interesting to see just how much work goes...

I have washed a nozzle with the BPI light on before, but I prefer to take it off (along with the belt lifter assembly) to really get all the dirt and gunk out. That's gonna be your best bet for a thorough cleaning.

I have seen both I have personally owned two Dual Sanitronic 80 units in the past. They had one of each of these labels. I'm not sure if the one that just says "Sanitronic" is real or not. I'm not even sure why they would print it without the "80", since the DS 80 was the only Sanitronic...

I am so very sorry you've had to go through this, Charles! I can imagine how you felt, and I definitely sympathize with what that experience must of been like. I hope there is a positive resolution, and that you get at least your money back.

Congrats! Your machine will clean up beautifully. I just put a new headlight lens assembly on mine today. I wish I had the Heritage II label for my Belt Lifter.

Looking for a Kirby 508, do you have one?

rugsucker, re: "a GORGEOUS profit" If a person gets a vintage Kirby unit 100% free, ANY profit they make is GORGEOUS as it came at ABSOLUTELY NO COST to them.  They haven't even had to store it for the 57 years of its existence.  No cost!   So while "it would seem more likely that a Kirby...

compactelectra That really is a shame.  I understand why you did what you did, but obviously that was a mistake.  The best course of action would have been to issue the return label and wait for your unit to arrive, then issue your full refund.   Given your buyer is calling your concerns...

WOW I'm shocked to read this.  I have had my own run ins on eBay with sellers, but can't imagine something like this with a buyer!   I just have to ask... why did you issue a full refund without receiving your item back first?  eBay's return policy states that the buyer must ship back the...

I have them, Ned Let me know if you can't find one elsewhere.

Love my Ultimate G Diamond It really is a nifty machine.  I got mine at a vacuum shop that was closing and relocating stock to Utah.  I   ended up buying the Diamond and got 12 bags, 9 belts, 2 big bottles of shampoo and standard accessories that did not match.  Eventually, I got all the...

I'm selling a fully loaded, refurbished G4 Probably not "cheap" though.  I would definitely want to recoup my investment in parts, supplies, accessories, and maybe a little compensation for labor.  Email me if interested.
