What is she thinking???

Hmmm.... I wonder if I should go ahead and change the "carpet" to match the "drapes?"

D50 on eBay

I was wondering if any of you have seen the D50 on eBay? The auction ends in just less than 24 hours and nobody has bid on it yet. I wanted to let those of you who like the D50 to know it's out there... and if you don't bid on it, I will.
Just giving you all a sporting chance at it.

Ooops, my mistake. It has two days left, not 24 hours. I'm sorry, don't know where my head is today.

Kirbys on eBay

Are you referring to the the one for $10.00? I'm thinking about it, but I haven't made up my mind yet. Also considering the 517 for $19.99.

My Brown Trimmed D50

Here is a picture of my brown trimmed Kirby D50. Not too shabby for hand polished.

Nice job

Nice job on that... I like the classic-style handle and the brown trim... Make it look really cool.

She is thinking...................

"I should have worn ankle straps with open toes then run with this damn Kirby! Do I have anything to match in Avacado green? And, G__ dammit, I'm out of Pall Malls! Why doesn't Harvey hire a maid anyway? I'm supposed to be happy about running this just because some idiot talked him into buying it on, 'Kirby Credit'?

She DOES look like a 1960's Mary Tyler Moore, doesn't she?

Also known as

Laura Petrie!

 

[eurekaprince]

Gosh...I forgot how attractive Dick Van Dyke was in those days....it's no wonder as a little boy I wanted to be just like Laura......in that beautiful ranch style home in New Rochelle New York.....kinda hoping there was a Eureka Mobile-Aire canister in the closet near the front door there.....

hmmmmm.... *looks up and wonders dreamily*

 

[beerad]

ohhh maybe she had a second thought?

I think she had a second thought.."OM effing god!! It is time for my husband to ditch this bloody heavy Kirby, rip out these dirty carpets and replace them with some beautiful hardwood floors"....hmmm..and now I am going to pour myself a double manhatan, kick up my high heels, and watch the Dick Van Dike show!!!

 

[jcste09]

maybe its just me

but the pictures look real but the vacuums themself look like they are "drawn" in. I dunno....

And she's probably thinking I bet my Cristian Louibiton's feel so much better than my Jimmy Choo's!

 

[twocvbloke]

"drawn in"

Well, I think they did take a picture of the vac, but then someone accentuated the image with a pencil & paints to make the Kirby stand out, at least that's how I think it works...

180

Hi Justin I like all your Kirbys. I also have the 180 same vacuum i cal it the July 4th Kirby. I would love to get a new floor brush. i no they are not made any longer so for now i just lub- the bearings it works for a while. A shane it is a very nice running machine. I see you have a Oreck how do you like it? I also have one much older then that. Take care Doug

My Oreck

Doug, I put that Oreck together when I worked for the local Oreck franchise. It's the base and handle grip of a 9200, the motor, fan housing and tubes from various 'donner' models and the bag from a 3700. I like it. It's mostly for 'quick pick-ups' or for when my aging joints don't want to move a 'Kir-beast'. I am hoping to get a factory refurbished XL Legend(in red,not black). It's easy to use and you can get under low furniture. In my home the cat likes to hide under my night stands, so I have to vacuum under them often.
