    Kirby Bagless Conversion System

    bagged Kirbys I totally agree with you guys.... what's a Kirby without its signature bag? That's my favorite part about them! I give him points for being creative and using his imagination, but personally, I think his units look hideous. Who wants to clean a filter out everytime after you...

    ~Look who's vacuuming now~

    Mr. Mom Kirby I have the movie.. it's a modified Classic. They apparently placed some sort of bulky transmission device on the side of it that they could control via remote control. It looks like it was where the em-tor should be. They also placed a different type of handle on the machine -...

    Kirby G4 Transmission question

    On my G4, when I am pushing the cleaner with the tech-drive in neutral, and the power off, I hear a noise coming from the transmission area, like gears are turning.. is this normal? Sometimes it does it and sometimes it doesn't..usually whenever I turn to go around a corner is when it starts the...

    Question for Kirby experts/fans

    Kirby Congrats on your find! The Kirby Heritage/Legend series is one of the best made vacuums (IMO). I have a Heritage I and a Legend II (looks just like the Heritage II but burgundy and grey instead). I love them both. Sounds like maybe you just need to get a new mini em-tor for your bag...

    Where does one begin???

    you might try... thevacuumcenter.com I have ordered some parts for my older Kirby's from there. The only bad thing is that they don't post pictures for alot of the items, but I'm sure that if you email them for clarification, they could answer any questions you may have.

    Some Kirby usage questions

    what I have noticed I was sitting on my couch one day while my partner Micahel was using my Heritage I to vacuum the carpet at our old apartment we moved out of over the summer. While he was doing so, I noticed the front of the nozzle would bob up and down over certain areas no matter what...

    I've finally purchased a kirby Legend II

    Legend II I found one on ebay myself and it arrived last week in FANTASTIC condition.. better than new! Cane with just the basic attachments. I love how much lighter and easier it is to use without one of those bog old em-tors on it. It runs so smoothly and quietly compared to my other kirbys!

    Dyson Issues

    The problem was... a CLOG.. in fact, not just one, but many. My dad had to take the unit out his shop, break it down - including the cylinder, and had to get the air compressor after it all.. it wasn't sucking due to the accumulation of pet hair and dander (They have a pet Pomeranian)...

    Kirby Dual Sanitronic 80

    Kirby I'm extremelly excited as this was the first Kirby I ever laid yes on as a child. My grandmother tells me that when I was a baby and I would get fussy when she watched me, she would roll out the Kirby, place it next to my blanket and let it run for about 5 minutes. She said I would stare...
