I would like to know how the hose converter worked on that machine and how well it performed above the floor. Looks like it would be very similar idea to the Hoover slide in converters that didn't make a complete seal to the fan case like on a Kirby or Royal and or any canister vacuum to...

Any one here tried one of these? Just saw it myself today. I did see one post from some time ago thru a google search that lead to here but didn't' see any responses to the post. On thing I noticed about it is the placement of the inlet tube into the water basin on that machine should really be...

Here is one of the coveted Kirby Tradition's with the head light lock up for sale...

Today was a good shopping day. After all this time I finally found a dirt meter for my Kirby's. I would also like to get the adaptor for the G Series Kirby's as well. I was amazed at what the Kirby 517 sucked out of the carpet after a through vacuuming on Saturday with the Sentria. I got...

Any Ideas where I can find the bumper's/furniture guard or acceptable replacement for the Model 700 and the Model 26. Sorry the Kirby is a ham and wanted in the picture with the new acquisitions. It was one as well at the time. LOL Sorry folks that the picture is side ways. I tried everything...

Maybe some of you have seen this or maybe not. I haven't seen the complete list myself. However it does sound like they are also looking at longevity and reliably these days when they are making recommendations for product lines. Maybe this is something that can help turn the market around for...

I would like to know who wrote this history. If you scroll down you will see the claim is that in 1950 the first convertible line of upright vacuums were introduced. Kirby had been doing this with the Sanitation system as well as Hoover also had converters long before this. As well as Eureka...

The two Hoover vacuums were given to me for free. The Model 700 from one of my cleaning product suppliers. The Model 26 from a long time friend. That vacuum belonged to her mother. The Kirby Sentria I bought from a long time acquaintance who's daughter wasn't able to use it after she got it due...

Didn't know Electrolux had an attachment like this. What year(s) would this have been available. I know at one time they had a turbo attachment that polished and shampooed...

I have read that Kirby's are wired for only for the High speed in the European market. Is there any logical reason for this? Also has anyone found any listing of when Kirby's were first introduced to the various countries they are sold in. So far I haven't been able to find any information on...

For those of you who have not yet seen this. Just saw it on QVC 2 the other night. http://https//www.oreck.com/pod-technology-cordless-vacuum/

That elusive hand butler unit with the Jig saw attachment.

Kirby Tradition Date of delivery Oct. 30, 1981 Kirby Model 516 Both came from a family friend today after carpet cleaning at their house yesterday. More parts may be around the family home they are clearing out so we will wait to see. Could possibly be yet another older Kirby at the home...

Good morning to all. Here is your chuckle for the day. These people are to funny because they are clueless. A 2 inch Shopvac attachment advertised as a vintage Kirby attachment...

Here is some information I just found on Jim Kirby. http://www.friendsofcrowellhilaka.org/jim-kirby.html

I saw on ebay the other day a Kirby Tradition 1 HD for sale. I just had to laugh at that one. I sat here and wondered how any one came up with that. As it is a Tradition Or a 1 HD. As near as I can figure the seller or some one along the way replaced the motor shell with the Motor shell from a...

Here is one for you. What year hoover would these attachment go to Steve...

Any body have any insight or thoughts as to why Kirby hasn't adopted a "pancake" style motor for their machines? I know they were designed to lower the over all height of the machines to get under low furniture. I'm aware it doesn't have anything to do with the suction power or air flow that can...

One thing that could be fun is to show a complete line up of all the variations in the factory original bag patterns on the Kirby's. I have seen quite a few. The 500 series had several back ground color changes as well as the logo style and color changes The Omega model had two variations of...
