Pictures I promised Kirby 561 Front...

I was looking on the Dyson web page and I noticed that there is no canister available for the United States now. I thought at one point they began selling their canister over here; but now it appears no longer available. On the accessories page of the web site there are parts available for a...

late 500 series... I agree hands down Charles-Richard about the red/gray color scheme of the late 500 series. I always thought it gave the Kirby a quality that no other color scheme does. I think because most of the other color schemes don't have enough contrast. Only the Red and Gray of the...

Tom Thanks for the compliment. And thanks for starting this thread. It was an interesting one. I do really work at taking care of my Kirbys. I think most of the collectors do. It is fun to keep them shiny because when you do they look so sharp. It makes you feel good when you're using...

Legend with small nozzle Here are a few more pictures of the Legend with the small nozzle:

Legend with small nozzle another close up..

If I had to pick just one.... It would be my Legend with the small rug nozzle. I use it in tandem with a G-6 for regular heavy house cleaning. [I don't pull these puppies out for just a once over] But for fun, my favorite would be any one of the late 500 series from 516 on. I especially like...

Does anyone know what Hoover meant when they descrived the new and improved aspect of the Aero-dyne as having "controlled suction?" I think the Aero-dyne is a classy looking machine and I have a model 51. But I have always wondered what exactly they meant by this and if there was any particular...
