Saw this on marketplace. About 2 hour drive each way. The guy selling said he was down here visiting and he brought it with him from Wisconsin. His girlfriend was irritated by this and he tried to sell it at a flea market and nobody wanted it. So he listed it on marketplace and I was the only...

At the vac shop of a good close friend. Haven’t been there in a while and was excited to see this little guy... owner says that he has the hose and attachments and cord at home, and he’s using it (as well as an old Miele bicycle and a Miele butter churner to use with his Miele display showing...

Came home today to a great surprise from my other and best half... Complete with its box and attachments. The only thing missing is the metal hose, which I hear is still at the store where this came from- so maybe it will arrive soon. If not, am still thrilled to add this beauty to the collection!

Hello! I’m sure many of us have several different makes of vacuums in our collections, but my question is: what is/are your favorite Kirby vacuums that you currently own? For me, it’s my model C, 505, 560, and 562 Sanitronic. One of these days I will hopefully find an original bag for the C...

Finished up cleaning, servicing, and polishing the just acquired Electro-Hygiene 230. Came with the extra power cord, bag, and handle for hand-held mode. Also came with the hose. I do have wands, just not shown in the photos. It runs beautifully and I couldn’t be happier with it! Just wanted to...

Just have a question. Do any members and or visitors of this site ever get the impression that lately, things in here have been a bit lacking in the discussion area? It comes off to me that there’s a specific group of people who converse and engage in discussion, and anytime someone outside...

Hello! A while back I posted some photos of my 562 Sanitronic and D50 - both sporting the white cords. Ben pointed out that I should have a Sanitronic VII in between them, and well, I agreed. Finding the machine with the correct bag was difficult, but finding a third white cord was even more...

Not bad for 62 years old...

Got this Classic the other day. It’s a beautiful machine. The only problem was the bag. The patch was in great shape so I removed it and sewed it onto this new bag. Not a Kirby bag, but I think it looks good.

We nabbed this 515. Came with all the original attachments and everything in flawless condition. All it needed - and still needs is the correct bag. Figured why not have some fun with the tan open top bag that was laying around.

DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT purchase of place any bid on a ComVac 1300 on eBay from seller: asdqok5-32. The pictures this “seller” is using are my photographs from a listing that recently sold. This is a scam and has been reported to eBay. I do not know how long it will take for eBay to remove the...

Hey everyone! Just wanted to post on here first... Some of you may remember a while back when I posted about getting the 2 new in box ComVac 1300s. Well, one of them is going up for sale. It HAS been opened and tested, but has since been put back into its box in its previously unopened...

So... a while back my better half mentioned to me that the D50 would look really nice with the white cord you’d find on the 562. We have a 562 with the white cord, and I refuse to place it on any other machine. Well... today he found a white cord! It’s in great shape and so we decided to put it...

At the thrift shop today... The other half found this little gemstone tossed outside in the “throw away” pile in the rain. The other half was happy to let it stay in the rain... But I couldn’t let that happen. Bought it for $2.50 and it runs perfectly and cleaned up quite nicely! No...

Hello! I was wondering if anybody knew the name of the shade of light blue used on Royal upright model 886. I know this color was used for other models as well, just want to know if anybody knows what the color was named. I’ve always wondered what it was called. Thanks

Just picked up this lovely little Royal! These are “before” pictures, as it’s going to be taken apart, cleaned and polished up. I’m very surprised it came with this power nozzle, and it works beautifully!

Can anyone on here tell me what I have here? How old is it? What was the reason for it’s manufacture? Did it accompany a larger machine? Any info would be appreciated.

Anyone on here know (or have and willing to sell) how to obtain either a replacement beater bar for this model or replacement bristles?

You know, I used to hate Valentine’s Day, but I think after having received this I can get used to it. My dream machine... 505.

For $8.80 (tax included) I simply could not leave without it. Needed a very brief polishing, but that’s all.
