I'm still here! Although I class myself as being in Scotland rather than the UK (but that's a whole other political story we probably shouldn't get into!), I am of that region nonetheless. I first joined this forum in 2011 when I was 16 years old and didn't have a job, so I had every minute of...

Well, it has been a while since I've posted a "new vacuum" thread, because it has been a long time since I've bought a new vacuum!!  Or should I say, a new vacuum that isn't a Dyson, as I have been picking a fair few of them up for the purpose of cleaning up and selling on for a profit.  Don't...

That looks great, especially the "custom" paint job!! 

Nothing wrong with that Rohmell! I have a couple of sweepers and they are great for quick "tidy ups".    I suffer from a bad knee which means that pushing a heavy vacuum is sometimes too painful, and also having severe migraines on a regular basis I frequently have headaches which prevent me...

Good Lord... I truly am in shock reading this. Nar and I had our disagreements in the past, and never really had any one-to-one conversations, but his posts here were invaluable and his knowledge indispensable. 42 is far too young to die, and so sudden too. It just proves that we never...

Thanks Chris!  So both my Legend II and Heritage were made in the first year of production - early models.  As much as they are a bit too heavy and cumbersome for daily use in my house (or any other average British dwelling), there is no doubt that they perform better than any other cleaner.  ...

Preempting an answer to my above question, I checked the serial number of the Legend and it starts with "18902", which I suspect means it was made in February of 1989?

Thanks guys, would that make it older than my Legend II then?  I'm not sure if there is a way of dating that one?

I know, I always said that I'd never buy a Kirby, then I bought the Legend II...  And now, I have two!   Today I saw a Heritage on Gumtree and at the price, I couldn't let it go.  So, I went on a small road-trip to collect it and here it is, my second Kirby!   I don't know if the serial...

Well, I decided to do it the "old fashioned way" and just wash everything in the bath tub with some warm soapy water.  It has come out clean so I'll just have to wait for it to dry (the worst bit about cleaning vacuum parts!) and can then polish it up, reassemble and decide whether the Shark...

You may have a point there Mike.  The previous bagless bins I have washed in the dishwasher have came out more cloudy than before, so perhaps not a good idea on one that is actually pretty clear to begin with.  Plus it has the two stickers on it which would be damaged, and if I could keep them...
