    Kirby Legend II bags

    Will the Legend II take the Micron-Magic bags or would it require replacing the fill tube?

    Dirt Devil Broom Vac

    Piece of advice! I had one of those Broom vacs at one time and I had it in the shop twice to have the switch replaced. Go easy on the switch! They are fragile! The third time it went out, it was beyond repair and I had to trash it :(. I bought mine brand new and it was pretty loud right out of...

    Kirby Generation Series

    Greatvacs I love their website.. in fact, that is where I will probably order my first generation series Kirby from. Their machines are refurbished but they apparently break the entire machine down and restore it completely so they look and perform like new.

    Kirby Generation Series

    Small nozzle I love those smaller nozzles on those machines. I wish I could locate one! I'm excited about the Legend II. I love the way the bag looks with the mini-emptor on it as well as the color of the bag itself. One more to my ever growing collection!

    Kirby Generation Series

    Interesting... I didn't know there was a difference in bag sizes. All of this is very interesting information to me. I'm still teetering though on which way to go. Such a TOUGH decision! They both look like very cool vacs!

    Kirby Generation Series

    Are there any major differences between the Kirby G3 and G4 other than cosmetic? If I don't end up winning the Legend II I have placed a bid for on ebay, I'm going to get me my first Generation model Kirby, but I would like to know if there are any major differences, mechanically between the...

    I've finally purchased a kirby Legend II

    Legend II I'm so jealous! I just love that color scheme. I have wanted one of those machines for so long. As soon as I can get a Classic III, a Legend II and one of the Generation machines, my Kirby collection will be complete.. I was promised a Generation 6 by my significant other but for some...

    More Kirbys...and I know you're probably getting sick by now!

    Tradition The Tradition has always been one of my favorite models. I bought one last summer from a guy here at work for $35.00. I already had a box of attachments - except the hose :( and when I got it, it was in pretty rough shape cosmetically. I spent a couple of hours cleaning it up and...

    Dyson Issues

    My mothers Dyson isn't picking up surface litter like it should. Now, being a Kirby buff, I know pretty much nothing about Dysons. Do they have belts that need to be replaced every so often? If so, are they hard to change? She said she has checked and cleaned all the filters on it. She says it's...

    Royal replacement bag

    Anyone know where I can get a replacement bag that will fit a Royal 4000? This vac is used for commercial purposes so I'm looking for a cloth shake out if possible, in grey. I have found a couple but it doesn't mention the model number I have. Are most royal bags interchangeable?

    Dirt Devil History

    Broom-vac I had the red bagged "Broom-vac" that came out in the late eighties. It was a loud little thing and didn't last six-months. The switch went out once, got it fixed, it went otu again and the vac-shop man said it couldn't be repaired that final time around. I was sad to see it go. I...

    Royal or Kirby?

    The BIG debate... Well, the only experience I have had with a Royal was with a newer one and it is loud and akward to use in my opinion. I would LOVE to find one of the older ones as mentioned previously. I kick myself for not buying the one that sat at a garage sale about four years ago with...

    Kirby floor polishers

    another question while waxing, where does the residue go? Does it end up all gummed up inside the bag?

    Kirby floor polishers

    Reading the thread about the Johnsons polisher reminded me of a question I have been meaning to ask. I have several older Kirby's that have the floor polisher attachment with them and I'm curious to try one. Are there any kind of paste wax's on the market today that can be used since I can't get...
