Hey guys, it's been years since I posted here. A recent turn of events is that I'll be moving from Colorado to New Jersey in the middle of November. Anyway, I'm selling off my collection of mostly Kirby machines, although, I do have a few others as well. I live in the Denver Metropolitan...

It's been a while everyone!   Anyway, long story short, my family is downsizing and moving a couple of people into assisted living so we're going to be moving in the next few months. I don't want to move all of my vacuum collection, as our new house probably won't have the space for...

I am preparing a Kirby G4 for my sister for Christmas, and at the moment, the Kirby will go backwards by itself when I put it in Drive. I cannot remember how to fix this for the life of me, and we're celebrating Christmas early on the 24th so I would love to have this problem sorted out tonight...

I was browsing a local EZ Pawn yesterday as my brother broke his iPad and he was looking to replace it.   When I got to the vacuum section, my heart stopped. I saw a Kirby Tradition!   People who don't live in Colorado don't know this... But getting a Tradition for under $80 is pretty...

I went to what I call "The Ghetto ARC." Actually, side track.   I call it the ghetto ARC for a few reasons. My dad's car was almost broken into, my mom's boyfriend was asked, "If you light my cigarette, I'll ____ you." (I think you can figure it out... Yes she was serious.) Some lady ran...

I went to a thrift store yesterday and picked up a Dyson DC23 Turbinehead for $30. So I did my normal little spa treatment on it and whatever. It's terrible. Horrendous. Whatever word you can use to describe a horrible vacuum cleaner. This vacuum was originally $400? Who wasted $400 on this...

I was perusing one of my favourite thrift stores. I looked at where they keep their vacuums. I picked up a hard floor tool that appeared to be a Henry one, but was just some cheap knock off. Severely beat up Electrolux? Yep. Eureka Walmart vac? Yep. I looked to my left and said out loud "No...

I went to my local ARC thrift store and stumbled upon this Viking 507. It was Originally $13, but it was half off due to the 2-day 4th of July sale. I took it apart and cleaned most of it. The front piece of plastic to protect the Viking label was never taken off! After removing it, it looks...

I follow Kirby on Twitter and decided to submit something for the 100 Days of Kirby thing. I thought it was weird that they wanted your address, but I just entered it anyway. I trust Kirby. My "Cleaning Tip" was "Ever since I bought my Kirby, my broom has sat in the closet when I fly around."...

I was on the hunt for a Kirby but all I found was an overpriced Electrolux and a Rexair Rainbow Model D... It was priced at $40, but I didn't really want it. I'm not a fan of canisters... Still, I probably should have picked this up anyway. It's in beautiful condition and I have a slight soft...

It was $10 at the thrift store and it's really clean... I don't know why I bought it though. I don't even like Orecks. I think they're too light to clean properly and are as noisy as a Eureka Bravo with bearing problems. I'm insane because I put another $15 into it to give it a new brushroll...

The Kirby G3 was one of my favourite vacuums... But I sold it in order to get a Sentria II. I have missed it so much, but I finally have a replacement for it! I bought this G4 at the Mile High Flea Market for $30. It is in pretty decent shape and I am amazed that there is not a single thing...

I bought something I did not need! It is the green Kenmore PowerMate canister! I had $120 in my Sears account from returning an item and stumble across this canister. After my Rainbow broke (it needs about $30 worth of parts to get working, but it's aacting weird right now) I was looking for an...

<p class="p1">I had watched a video of a Kirby G3 Trash find by a Youtuber I frequently watch, and since I had commented on a post I keep getting notifications for comments posted.</p> <p class="p2"> </p> <p class="p1">I am the only icon that you can see fully (also "Mr.")</p> <p...

On the same day that I bought my Kirby Legend/Heritage II (in the Vintage section) I found this Miele Blue Moon canister.   Works well.... Though I don't know anything about Mieles so uhh... Help please?

Here's the post I was referencing: http://www.vacuumland.org/cgi-bin/TD/TD-VIEWTHREAD.cgi?24497_17 I walked into the thrift store (ultralux88, it was the one you went to go pick up the Comvac) and I wandered to the back where they keep the A/V, computer, and vacuums. I see the famous red and...

I was going through my normal thrift store today, when I found yet another orange bagged unit.   But it wasn't normal!   It was a Comvac 1600.   I didn't buy it, but quite a unique machine.

Recently, I took my recent addition Kirby over to my where my other Kirby rests, and I started to notice some differences. They're not major differences, but they still exist, therefore I thought I'd point them out. I cannot date when they did these changes as I don't have enough machines to be...

For the last week, there has been a Heritage at the thrift store that I've wanted oh so dearly. Unfortunately, it was $70. Umm. How about no? Well, I guess today they noticed that the Kirby hadn't gone as fast as other ones there, so they lowered the price... To $19.99. Not only was it in...

Hmmm. I haven't posted in a few days. Anyway, I'm gonna go pick up this Heritage II in about an hour. I'm so excited as I've been looking for a Heritage II for 6 years. Though I'll be paying more for it than any other Kirby I've bought (next closest was my Sentria for $40) it'll end a long...
