    I got my Hoover 150 I named Henry a few years ago. My husband and I restored a customer's Corvette and he knew we collected things. He gave my husband the 150 and said it was his mother's.

    Kirby Omega Question!

    Hey everyone! What belt does the Kirby Classic Omega use??? So far, I've bought him a new light bulb, front wheels, rug plate gasket, and owner's manual. Rule of thumb for me is, if it's a used vacuum replace the belt! Same goes for a used car, replace the belts and fluids! Thank you! :)...
