    Any European-Exclusive Kirby Features?

    I'm not sure about the exact origins of the small Sanitronic-style Heritage power nozzle. I've always just assumed it was a very rare option (much like the rarely seen dump/shake bag assembly for the Heritage II) and I've never heard that it was a regional thing. The Generation 3 came out much...

    My Fantom Fury Limited Edition

    Michael, I've been really busy, so I just sent Szymon an email just now. I'll contact you if we don't come to an agreement. As of right now, it is still available to anyone who might be interested. Truthfully, how much do these things usually go for? I'd like to get rid of it and put it in...

    New Kirby Website-Still No Sentria II

    Overall, the Sentria II is functionally identical to the post-2009 Sentrias (which use the F-style bags and have the new style emptor). I've never noticed a significant difference in performance between the early and later models, but honestly, I've never attached an airflow meter to them to...

    New Kirby Website-Still No Sentria II

    Bud, I haven't noticed on the DVD, but I can tell you that the Sentria II cords on all the machines I've seen are completely gray as on the original Sentria. The Sentria II DVD is pretty bad. They definitely raised the production values and made it slick and modern, but the editing is horrible...

    My Fantom Fury Limited Edition

    Thanks guys. Yes, I would be willing to sell it for the right price. Honestly, I knew these things were quite uncommon but I never really knew they were that desirable. Makes sense, I just never really thought about it. As far as the condition goes, I'd say "immaculate" is a bit of a...

    My Fantom Fury Limited Edition

    Just thought I'd share a pic of my Fantom Fury Limited Edition. This unit was purchased brand new back in 2000 (I think) by my mother. It was used fairly regularly for about five years, but hasn't seen much use since then. The machine works well and is complete with all the attachments...

    sonnyndad: I've heard that the Kirby Classic may have been released in December of '69, but not earlier than that. Do you have a source that proves otherwise?

    New Kirby Website-Still No Sentria II

    I suspect that the original Sentria is still being sold by distributors in certain areas, or at least was still being sold at the time of the site's recent redesign. Give it some time...

    I could be wrong but I believe the Heritage II was released in late 1984, not 1985. The Generation 3 was released in 1990, not 1991.

    After the buffing?

    Microfiber cloths work great for general polishing, with or without any kind of solvent. Keeping your Kirby clean and free of fingerprints will help protect the finish, but you'll still want to polish your machine at least twice a year with Mother's Mag & Aluminum Polish or Flitz to keep the...
