@miskini, I haven't gotten an Avalir yet (I'm still settling in).

I am seeking a NOS, new-in-box Kirby Tradition with full kit of attachments, accessories, etc. If you have one, please contact me!

I recently moved from Calgary, Alberta, to the Denver area (specifically Aurora), for a new position in craniofacial biology research at the University of Colorado Denver Anschutz Medical Campus in Aurora. I would like to get the new Kirby Avalir (since it can shampoo hard floors as well as all...

Kirby Tradition The Tradition is my favourite, because my mother bought one new when I was a preschooler. I grew up with it in our home until Mom retired it in 1998.

How big were these banks (ie, length and width and depth in inches)?

I'm still looking for one too! Tania, are there any left? How can I get in touch? I will be moving out of Canada soon (March 2015), most likely back to the USA. It may be easier to get one in the USA.

Still Trying to Find a NIB Tradition... I'm still trying to find a NIB Tradition myself. Once a person responded to my Calgary Kijiji want ad in 2012--that turned out to be a scam (I never got the vacuum after I sent $240 to the guy). Later, Tania tried to locate one for me, unsuccessfully...

Avalir Now the question is...where does the name Avalir come from?

No such word in dictionary... It appears that the word "sentria" does not exist in the Oxford English Dictionary (or any other dictionary I've tried online), nor does it exist in Wikipedia (outside of the Kirby Company entry). The only non-Kirby mention of "sentria" is someone's name on...

Where did Kirby get the name Sentria from? What does it even mean? The older series of models (from Sanitronic to Generation series) sound more logical to me. Sanitronic sounds logical (it means what it says--a sanitation system). The Classic series (Classic, Classic Omega, Classic III...

Please resend--trying another email address I got the email this morning, but since the file was so big for the email client, I could not open it. Could you try resending it--this time to [email protected]? Thanks!

I grew up in Fort Wayne! From 1978-2004 (age 3-29), I lived in the Fort Wayne area. I'll take a copy too! Email: [email protected]

Visiting museum while in St. Louis Hi Tom! I plan to be in St. Louis for a craniofacial convention (Children's Craniofacial Association), June 26-29. I'm coming in from Calgary, AB. I would like to come see your museum (and I love vintage Electrolux and Kirby vacuums--I dream of getting...

I remember seeing photos/illustrations of a floor scrubber/polisher attachment that came with the old American Electrolux vacuums. It fit on the end of the hose/wand (like the power nozzle would). How long was that offered, and with which models of Electrolux vacs? Was it for cleaning carpets...

Is the museum close to St. Louis? Is the museum (or the town it is in) close to St. Louis?

Sidekicks for Canadian Electrolux models? Were there Canadian versions of the Sidekick (ie, for the Canadian Electrolux models)? I have a 1982 AP280; would that be too old for a Sidekick?

Does anyone have a copy of the Kirby salesman's proof book for the Tradition model? Was there also a songbook for salesmen of that era? (I saw in another thread a songbook for the Kirby Heritage model.) If there is a Tradition proof book, I would love to see the entire thing, thanks!

I was born in April 1975... ...so I would buy either the then-current Electrolux or Kirby: 1) The Kirby Classic Omega. 2) Either the Electrolux 1205 or the Golden J/Super J. Or a gently-used or reconditioned Model G or Hospital G.
