    How does one retrofit disposable bags into pre-Tradition Kirbys?

    Lesinutah I specifically said that I did not want to just use a Heritage or Tradition bag on a dump-out bagged machine because it'd look weird.

    How does one retrofit disposable bags into pre-Tradition Kirbys?

    Lesinutah That's just a Heritage ii outer bag. Are you saying that I should take the bag ring from that an stick it on the machine I want to convert?

    How does one retrofit disposable bags into pre-Tradition Kirbys?

    Lesinutah It's still not working. It's just showing me a page with the text "1(1x1)". It also did that when I tried opening up another Ebay listing on the top picks thing earlier.

    How does one retrofit disposable bags into pre-Tradition Kirbys?

    Thatwasherguy I never knew Kirby made outer-bags that took a competitor's disposable bag. That goes without saying that's very strange. Sewing a zipper on an outer bag doesn't sound that hard, though since I've never sewn anything before, I wouldn't know. Could anybody help explain how to do so?

    How does one retrofit disposable bags into pre-Tradition Kirbys?

    tolivac I don't want this to turn into a big war over if they're bad or not like my last thread on the subject, but I simply don't care how much dirt is picked up by a commercial vacuum in a day. I'd rather burn through bags then be content with a poorly filtering setup. I also don't believe...

    How does one retrofit disposable bags into pre-Tradition Kirbys?

    KirbyMan65 I wouldn't want to do that. I'd want something that would properly seal the dirt away so that I wouldn't come in contact with it.

    How does one retrofit disposable bags into pre-Tradition Kirbys?

    Lesinutah Where could I find myself a "516-heritage model with 3 ring adaptor for emtor" that you speak of. I'm not as knowledgeable on pre-tech drive machines. That being said, what's stopping me from taking that Heritage 1 emptor and putting a Heritage ii or newer fill tube on it?

    How does one retrofit disposable bags into pre-Tradition Kirbys?

    I can't stand dump-out bags. I think they're a relic of the past that should stay in the past (are you listening, Sanitare/Bissell?). That said, I like certain dump-out bagged Kirbys, mainly the Sanitronics and Classics. However, Because they utilize dump-out bags, that means that I wouldn't...

    Commercial/industrial vacuums.

    Here are mine So far, I've only got two, though I plan on getting more in the future. The first of them is my Nacecare Henry HVR160. I want to say I got it around 2021 after I spent months saving up for it, and I gotta tell you, it was worth every penny. It's quiet, durable, good filtering...

    If I owned Kirby...

    Human I'm sure not all of them are sociopaths, but there are definitely some bad actors in the mix. I was actually thinking about becoming a Kirby Salesman when I was younger, but I canned it after everything I heard about hard it is to actually make decent money off it (though I was only...

    If I owned Kirby...

    KirbyG6 First of, not to be the grammar police, but periods are a wonderful thing. Secondly, that'd be a cool thing. Although, I'm pretty sure Royal did exactly that with their machines, but since they're gone, maybe it's fair game? I wasn't around to witness the unveiling of the Avalir 1 and...

    If I owned Kirby...

    PanasonicVac I totally agree. Kirby's trade-in program that they force onto their customers is kind of scummy, especially if they're trying to get people to trade in an older G Series Machine for an Avalir. They'd just be buying virtually the same machine again! Also, people just like having...

    Me personally, since I'm mentally unhinged, I'll vacuum mine then wipe it down with Lysol wipes.
