I agree. Sometimes the KA is over kill for some of the smaller jobs. The Mixmaster does handle those better in IMO as well. Or a hand mixer. I use commercial grade wire whisks a lot in the kitchen too. I have found that with boxed Angel Food cake mix I like the way the Mixmaster handles that...

I'm another one. I like to put "things with things" and or by shape and size.

@ kirbyklekter You mentioned that the beater on your KA isn't close enough to the work bowl. Have you adjusted the screw for the bowl lift if you have that model. On the tilt head model. There is a screw on the underside of the power head to bring the beater closer to the bowl? The beater...

I bought my mom a Mixmaster mixer in the early 80's as a Christmas present, as I needed a mixer that would handle bread dough and other heavy batters. That one had the light fixture so you could see in the work bowl. My dad about had a stroke. (I was in my early teens) I believe I paid around...

That is a nice find. I like the Mixmaster mixers. I still have the one my mom bought for me when I got my own place. I now have the heavy duty Kitchenaid mixer. I like that one also.

@vacman1961 Great Idea. Had not gotten around to thinking of bungee strap as an option.

Since the Kirby Classic Omega model. All the Kirby models already have double insulation right from the factory.

@gottahaveahoover And I do.

I'm like fine wine I get better with age. L.M.A.O

@huskyvacs People think I'm nuts for spending money on a Kirby. How ever Still have it 30 years later. Go figure. I also have one that my grandmother bought in 1972. Hmmm. what paying good money for a quality product will get you. At the same time I think they are nuts to spend over 300.00 for...

Any Ideas where I can find the bumper's/furniture guard or acceptable replacement for the Model 700 and the Model 26. Sorry the Kirby is a ham and wanted in the picture with the new acquisitions. It was one as well at the time. LOL Sorry folks that the picture is side ways. I tried everything...

John I have to say that I have over the years done well with a Hoover as well.

I will let all of you pick your assault weapon of choice on dirt and grime. I have my favorite Kirby that does suck. I can watch it pick the carpet up off the floor and any thing else that will pass between any two fan blades currently installed on it. Love it.

Is this the truth????

It is scary at times! I have a sign on my office door that reads: Man's desire to make things as idiot proof as possible is off set by the universe's desire to create bigger and better Idiots. And when it comes to repairs, It's easy to fix a vacuum, but when it comes to people, no matter how...

Looks like the carpet is a looped yarn carpet. That style of carpet will never feel as soft as a cut yarn plush carpet. Do you know what the carpet fiber is. Nylon? Olefin? Natural fiber like wool or cotton?

From what I read the machines effected are in a specific serial number range. How ever that still can equate to thousands of repairs. And not all of them will fail either. How ever best to err on the side of caution. Kirby suffered a mechanical break down with the transmission for the tech...

From What I have read in the past even the "smart" robotic vacuums don't always follow the "mapped" route that the vacuum is programmed to follow. As for the name well what can be said. I for one have no interest in them. I will stick with my Real vacuum with manual steering. I know some...

My mother had a Kenmore straight suction canister until 1970. Then She had a Rexair vacuum until 1974. Straight suction again. Then a Kirby Classic Omega which she still has. Also has a Rainbow vacuum Dual speed and now a Kirby Sentria. Her mother Started out with a Hoover upright before I was...

Nice machine. Yes it would be nice if all the trim and bag were the original color scheme. I just bought a model 511 from some one for $20.00. It came with the original cloth hose, straight wand and the suction and blower couplers and buffing head. The bag has been replaced, sani emptor door...
