    Nama's little salesman :) This is a pic of me with my grandmothers D-80 that I had rebuilt this past February. Every time I would go to her and Papa's house (yes I still call them Nama and Papa :) ) I would run and find wherever she had the Kirby hiding at the time and drag it out and play with...

    The Kirby sisters of Springfield

    rebuild if I read a post correctly from the past.. if they can't find the paperwork, maybe Kirby can look in their archives via the serial number of the machine? You should at least have your grandparents call and give it a shot.

    Interesting Ebay find. LOOK!!!! Small head Heritage

    Bid I bid on one of the small head heritage models that was on a couple of weeks ago. I lost the bid, but got an email from ebay saying I had a second chance offer.

    Laugh of the day

    sales FOR REAL! I paid 200.00 for my refurbished G4, but knowing that it was refurbished, sand blasted, polished and with warranty made me comfortable with the purchase. Even came with brand new attachments. the most I've ever spent on a Kirby but well worth it to me, knowing what I know about...

    Laugh of the day

    all too many times I have seen Kirby Classics and Dual Sanitronic 50's in stores and flea-markets that have looked like they heve been sitting in humid, damp basements or sheds for YEARS. They are all corroded, beat up, dusty, bag all hanging off, not even the correct bag and some of these...

    I'm new!!!Kirby Ultimate G info please

    Kirby If the vac is in great shape, $150.00 is a STEAL! I paid $200.00 for a refurbished G-4 and it came with aftermarket tools (which I happen to like better anyways) and NO shampoo system. It did come with the improved em-tor boot though which I believe they started using with the G-6. I...

    Call me crazy but my first Kirby will be an D50 Sanitronic

    Belts I have yet to burn a belt on any of my Kirbys, I change them usually ever 6 months just for my own piece of mind even though I could probably stand to go a little longer. I remember my mother use to always burn up belts on her Heritage when she had it, but she would also set the nozzle...

    Kirby Bagless Conversion System

    Techdrive I LOVE IT! I love that it doesn't just choose a speed on its own but rather adjusts to the speed of your movements. I love the way it hugs the carpet and how clean and groomed the carpets look after using it. I've been using it the most out of my collection since I have gotten it. I...
