    will a Kirby G3 hose fit G7?

    BikerRay, yeah, I read that elsewhere too. Apparently I can take the seal off the G3 hose and it will fit fine.

    Weird slot on back of my Kirby?

    Never knew that's what the slot was for, but that makes sense!

    will a Kirby G3 hose fit G7?

    found this post on the G3 hose on newer vacs, apparently I need to remove the gasket on the machine end of the hose, as the newer G series use a gasket on the Kirby itself instead of one on the hose. http://www.vacuumland.org/cgi-bin/TD/TD-VIEWTHREAD.cgi?14666

    will a Kirby G3 hose fit G7?

    Thanks ctvacman! for $1 I'll buy it and have a hose for my G7D! I have read about the newer hoses for G5 and up not fitting the older G series, but nothing of older not fitting newer. (the vac guy I talked to said about the same thing)

    will a Kirby G3 hose fit G7?

    I was wondering if a G3 hose will fit a G7 Ultimate diamond, as the ends look identical. I have a chance to get a G3 hose for a couple of bucks and was hoping it would fit. Was told by a vac shop it would. Don't want to pay the insane price of over $40 for a freaking hose! I could understand...

    Sears Best 1979 Kemore Powermate Unboxing and "modelling" photos!

    Very cool vac, looks like new! I also noticed you have several books on locomotives and a classic red "500 set" telephone! 2 other things I like too. (Trains and old telephones)

    Royal 2025 brush stops on carpet

    Well, the belt seems to have worn out a bit early, I put this belt on a few months ago and haven't used the vac a whole lot, but I guess it's stretched out and gotten loose. I still don't like the new height adjuster as opposed to the screw adjust ones on the older Royals.

    Royal 2025 brush stops on carpet

    the Nozzle guard is fine, when the nozzle is off the floor, it spins fine with no sound of friction or wear. Starting to wonder if the height adjustment is messed up? still haven't had time to call Royal about it.

    Royal 2025 brush stops on carpet

    My end caps have no numbers, in fact it has only 2 positions, because the hex ends have protrusions that let it go in only 2 ways, high and low. it's set with the bristles at their highest. Also, no dirt or debris keeping it from seating either. The arrows are also lined up too, and the belt is...

    Royal 2025 brush stops on carpet

    it's a brand new belt, and yes if I let the brush stop for too long, it does stink. I can't stop the brush with my hand (yes I tried to!)

    Royal 2025 brush stops on carpet

    The shaft spins fine, it's the belt and brush that will stop. the spindle is not loose, and the fan feels solid. I'll give them a call tomorrow and see what they say. I do prefer the style with the knob adjust, but this isn't a bad design really.

    Royal 2025 brush stops on carpet

    When using my Royal 2025 on carpet, whether it's a low carpet or plush, the brush will stop altogether, unless I raise the nozzle to where it's not on the floor. I have a new belt and brushroll in it, and the brushroll is set to the highest setting using the hexagon ends. when I lower the vac...

    Vacuums that make you satisfied

    Filter Queen! I have mostly hard floors, so it does fine by my standards. For carpet, one of my Kirbys or Royals.

    Very cool! I like my 2025, great machine.
