Contact information I forgot to mention- my email address is not public but anyone may express interest here and I will reach out to you.

I am interested in relieving myself of 90% of my collection. I am only interested in a buyer coming and taking it off my hands, and I will not ship. I do not have time for that. I will only be keeping 4-5 vintage machines. I have attached some photos for reference and am happy to provide...

I'm interested in adding a CV to my <1,000 square foot condo. I want the unit to fit in either a large cabinet I have or a closet. I would be using it with the utility valve or piping it to one inlet and perhaps a vacpan. I have seen the compact "OVO" brand units on Amazon, but I'm not really...

Stunning! I’m so glad to see these in a good home, and how you have brought them back to life! Bravo! Lane

Looks great! Congratulations on the new home. And that Hospital G is gorgeous, by the way.

Video Please excuse the video quality. I am no videographer.

I am going to start selling off some vacuums. I had made a post a few months ago in hopes someone would come take a load of them, but lost sight of the goal after the sudden passing of my father. This time I will be taking a more measured approach. First up, I have an Electrolux CA. I love...

Coffee can Hoover Kieran, it is a model 575.

With shifting priorities in life and little lime to pursue the hobbies of yore, I am looking to sell several machines to a good collector home. I would love for someone to come and buy most of it, but I may consider shipping in the future depending on the circumstance. I know there’s some good...

New Rainbow Any information on what it will look like/new features? I just sold my Blue E2

I *THINK* I have one. I cannot remember if it is a 515 0r 514, but I will be able to check this weekend. It does not have the original cord, but the bag, wheels, belt lifter, emptor cover (everything other than the cord) are all original. If you are interested, feel free to send me an e-mail...

All, I have some Kirbys I would like out of my way - one later model Sentria, and two G5s. One G5 is quite dirty, but both run fine. Both G5s come with the standard attachment sets. The Sentria, which is in good shape other than some scratches on the nozzle, comes with the attachments and a...

Heritage II I find the Heritage IIs/ Legend to be the quietest "modern" Kirbys.. They have a very nice, soft sound. I feel like the Generation/Sentria/Avalir series is a lot louder and higher pitched, not even considering the noise the tech drive makes.

V11 Yearly updates are nothing new - Kirby was doing it in the 40s and 50s, Hoover did it with the Convertible line... An interesting note about the V11- it looks like the separate hard floor head is no more.

Newer Dysons In my experience, the newer (standard filter - not cinetic) Dyson Balls have exceptional airflow. The one I have lifts the carpet up on the back stroke, and has so much airflow that, in tandem with the spring loaded soleplate, causes it to suck down to hard floors and makes it very...

2010s.. The Shark, in my opinion will be identifiable as "the one" of the 2010s. This decade is almost over, and battery powered stick vacs have really just begun to go mainstream over the past couple of years. Before that, they were really a niche luxury. Because of that, I do think the...

All, I have attached some pictures of the cord end on my Lux XII-A, which is unlike any I have ever seen. I am curious about whether or not this is the original cord end for the machine? It is very small and round, with no markings besides a small design. For reference, the last picture is of...

Hello! Hi Patrick, I don't post as often as I would like, as I stay really busy with work, but welcome to this community! My favorite modern cleaners are the Black Rainbow E2 and Tristar EXL. I use my Kirby Avalir quite often, but I am sort of conflicted about how much I actually enjoy...

New brush roll? I noticed extra magnets on an Avalir 2 brushroll in an eBay auction. See the attached picture, where they are visible on either side of the center belt area. This may have already been included on older machines, but my sentria doesn’t have them. I can’t inagine that they...

Every now and then a good deal can be found on EBay, like with the model 63 I just got. You can see in the pictures below that it is quite nice, but the zipper on the bag is frozen. Does anyone have a recommendation on how to “unfreeze” it? I absolutely don’t want to ruin such a nice bag...
