    The Royal name and machines need to come back-both the metal uprights and the "torpedo" canister.

    NSS M1 bag tube replacement ideas

    The fill tubes in the NSS M1 bags appear to be made from vinyl upholstry material.The outside of the fabric is on the outside of the fill tube.Makes sense the smooth side on the inside so it can't absorb odors or get fouled with dirt.I have used Kirby fill tube assemblies from the local vac shop.

    Another one followed me home

    on going cleanup-the vacuum could have been used commercially. I have seen those Dirt Devils used in commercial.

    My 1979 Kirby Classic III

    my review of the Lindhaus HF6

    I just received my Lindhaus HF6 vacuum from Wayfair. My version has the Lindhaus PB14e L-Ion power nozzle. So far really like this vacuum-it’s up there with me along with the NSS M1 canister vacuum as my favorites. The wheels on mine roll easily-like the wheels on most desk-office chairs. You...

    HEPA Bag Opinions, Please

    HEPA spun "Filtrete" bags for me all the way in ALL of my vacuums.Paper bag pores clog more easily than the spun material HEPA bags.I had to change paper bags when they were less than half filled.HEPA ones ALL the way!Bag would be STUFFED!So that can make the HEPA bags actually cheaper to...

    Anyone Know of these?

    The Greenville Sew&vac has one of these machines that was turned in by a customer, This is a very unique vacuum. The unit has the built in power extend retract hose. The machine is VERY heavy-takes two people to lift and carry it. The book that comes with it shows how to make the wall cutout...

    Why is it taking Kirby so long

    Amodel fans have problems with heat-If you use the hose on the Kirby in blower mode with the inflator tool-can cause the Amodel fan to melt or deform.Same thing will happen if you let the disposable bag get too full.Go back to the metal fan,PLEASE!

    Why is it taking Kirby so long

    Tech drive strains arms and back???NOT for me Easier in all counts!!!Like comparing a hand pushed mower over a self propelled one.I find my Kirby outdoes ANY of the clean air vacuums in my collection,Simplicity-Riccar and Sebo.And the Kirby works at 6A instead of 12.Also moves more air!!!I'll...

    Why is it taking Kirby so long

    Note that Kirby doesn't offer an air purifier of any sort-the other DTD companies do.Maybe they should offer one!

    Why is it taking Kirby so long

    I have an Avalir 2 and like it-no need to paint it a different color.I have some backpacks in my collection-they are VERY awkward to me.These are really for commercial use as was said.Home cleaning services don't use them.I don't like them becuase you are lugging the machine on your back-why...

    Why is it taking Kirby so long

    I would have no desire or interest in a "backpack" Kirby-HORRIBLE!!!Better to have canisters that stay on the floor.Does Kirby still own the Douglas line of canisters-they could market a cleaning team.The canister for bare floor and above floor work.The upright for carpets.Most homes have...

    Ever seen one of these ?

    Could this be some sort of pet or animal grooming vacuum?Like it could vacuum the animal after cutting the hair-and use the blower mode to dry it after a shampoo job.
