To read this is such a shame. It's hard to believe that there are indeed people who can tear a machine up so bad, but yet, to see some cars on the road in the shape they are in, after just a couple of years. My 21 and 25 year old cars look and run better than many a younger model. Sigh. This is...

My List I would love to have: Kirby Legend II Kirby Ultimate G Diamond Edition 1979 Kirby Tradition with the 10-Blade Metal Fan and the older attachment box Kirby Model 2C-4C Kirby Model 505 Kirby Classic III Kirby Avalir Filter Queen (preferably a Triple Crown) Rainbow (any model will...

Human That's a nice break, getting the cord like that. If I ever came across the correct bag for this model under the right circumstances (i.e. free or trade), I think I would indeed get it. However, the color scheme now is perfectly acceptable, and doesn't look bad on it. That being said, I'm...

Ben, Thank you for the part number! Much appreciated! ~Tim

This is awesome! That is all! ~Tim

I always wondered what would happen if my Internet froze whilst posting... It double-posted my comment!

Ben, You have a very nice collection! I am personally quite fond of the Kirby Classic III. As far as color schemes are concerned, that one, and the Legend II are my personal favorites. So much character! The Tradition runs a close second. Ironically, my collection lacks a Classic III and a...

I was recently at the Thrift store looking for some clothes for my wife to work around the house in with her, and I "happened" into the vacuum area... okay, well it was deliberate! I couldn't resist! And wouldn't you know it, there was a Kirby sitting there, all stained up. Well, it didn't take...

Glad to hear you're back in the game! Sorry to hear about all the stress-causing agents there! Vacuuming and fixing vacuums always helps me calm down and collect myself if I'm having a tough one. To me, it is therapeutic. Awaiting those pictures! Best regards, ~Tim

The Kirby Ultimate G Instruction Video If you look in the Kirby Ultimate G instruction video, you will notice that the Diamond Edition's Speed Selector Switch is on the Ultimate G. Granted, the Diamond Edition IS an Ultimate G, but the video clearly depicts the original Ultimate G with the...

Ahh, UPS... How I loathe thee...

Hm, this is something I did not know about. I never knew Kirby made knock-off vacuums. Learn something new every day! ~Tim

if I were nearby... I would have given you whatever I had for that 1C Kirby. I am in Florida though, and I just came across this... if it's still there, would you ship?

No TruVacs near here. I have never heard of it. I'll have to try it. I am persistently polishing my Kirbys, so I am always up for a product a step above. Same with my cars. The basest stuff I use is Griot's Garage show waxes, and such, but I have been known to use higher quality polishes and waxes.

Kirbyfans Kirbysthebest, I would definitely second you on Kirbyfans. He has never failed me before, plus he's very courteous. Always has a hand-written "Thank you" on the receipt, and usually has a business card with the order. Good guy.

(P.S. My "after" picture does almost zero justice for Mother's, as it was 9:30pm when the picture was taken. Camera flash does little for the shine.) ~Tim

I second Mother's Mag and Aluminum Polish. Whether you need to sand or not will depend on if you have deeper scratches, a buffing wheel, and if no buffing wheel, will depend on how oxidized the aluminum is. If you have no buffing wheel, but only have light scratches, finer grit sandpaper (400+...

With the new brush roll... With that new brush roll, you will -certainly- notice a significant difference in your carpet. If it feels plush now, imagine how much better it will feel sucking up almost double what it does now! Since with the new brush, the carpet will be getting brushed twice as...

Bud, Wow! That's quite a privilege to be able to pick a brand new machine from the box after the hassle like that! Indeed, there have to be good distributors left around, as there probably wouldn't be enough new models selling to make a real profit without changing the business model from the...
