I have narrowed the vacuum decision down to the Synergy Premium or Standard (X9 or G9). I like the Rattlesnake color of the Premium, but the only other difference between the two seems to be a light that illuminates as dirt is being sucked up, to let you know it's working. Is it worth it to...

Last day for the Kirby 560 I have listed on Ebay, please take a look! http://www.ebay.com/itm/321060277705?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649

I am going to be selling a Kirby G-4, either locally or on Ebay. Just wondered what a fair asking price for it in good used condition with no tools, etc., just the vac.

Wife and I are considering the purchase of a new vacuum. We like the Simplicity models for their US-made status as well as the fact that they seem very nice. Long-time Kirby owner but not a fan of the hand-me-down G-4 we got to replace our Heritage II, which went back to mom and dad because...

As mentioned in another thread, I have received a Kirby Model 560. It is not new in the box, but it has all of the original boxes, etc. Looks to have had little or no use. Silver/white paint still mostly intact on original single-row beater bar. It has the original bag in pretty decent...

Hello, I was recently given a vintage Kirby by my mother-in-law. As far as she can remember, it was never used - it was bought by her mother and she found it cleaning out her mom's house. What kinds of info/pictures do you guys need to help identify it? It's new in the box and may have...

Well, the Heritage II has finally taken a complete dump, and I'm not going to sink any more money into it. I am thinking of getting one of the Royal vacuums I saw at the vac store the other day. Very simple, similar to the Kirby, and supposedly durable. I'm not keen on spending $400, but I do...

I recently completely rebuilt my 1986-87 vintage Heritage II. This included: New field, new armature, new bearings, brushes, switch, impeller, speed switch, etc. Basically everything new except the housing itself. However, when I turned it on, I noticed low suction. The speed control was...

As mentioned in a previous thread I am rebuilding my Heritage II Kirby from @ 1980s. The cast aluminum shell is not in bad shape but could benefit from some buffing. It's quite apparent in areas where the shell is normally covered by a switch or something and has not been exposed to the...

I am working on my parents' old Heritage II, bought new in 1987. I have inherited it since they inherited a newer Kirby from my grandfather when he passed six years ago. Front bearing went out, and I have it completely disassembled on the bench. Years ago, I replaced the motor brushes and...
