    Hi, <span style="font-family: book antiqua,palatino;">Hi Thomas. Kirby arrived in the UK around 1973. So the first Kirby in the UK was the Classic Omega.

    Umm... <span style="font-family: book antiqua,palatino;">I see what your saying. But it's unlikely your going to need to replace anything major in the 1st 20 years. </span> <span style="font-family: book antiqua,palatino;">You could also argue the same for the older Hoovers that cost big...

    Hi, <span style="font-family: book antiqua,palatino;">Walter, Hope your well. Strange you mentioned Nilfisk. I was at my suppliers last week looking at the current GM80. I was surprised with how it's been rated.</span>   <span style="font-family: book antiqua,palatino;">James</span>

    Hi <span style="font-family: book antiqua,palatino;">Benny, I take your point but yes a Kirby will quite often see a 20 to 30 years.</span> <span style="font-family: book antiqua,palatino;">If you look on Ebay for Kirby Legend IIs(1989-1992 in the UK) there are about 14 compared to lets say...
