An afternoon at 'Kirby Central U.K'

[turbopowerpaul]

RIGHT...

I think this one is a 505. Again it is in superb condition and, along with all James' other cleaners, is very well cared for...

 

[turbopowerpaul]

Heritage, 505 and Dual Sanitronic 80....

 

[turbopowerpaul]

and again from a better angle...

 

[turbopowerpaul]

James and Rob discuss the Kirby Sentrina? Apologies if i am getting the names wrong - am still learning about these machines....

 

[turbopowerpaul]

and again, but a better pic of the machine....

 

[turbopowerpaul]

A bit more guess-work...

Ok with the one in the foreground, thanks to the name being obviously on show - Kirby heritage II.

The one in the background - hmmmmmmmmmm - Kirby Tradition?

 

[turbopowerpaul]

Whichever one it is, the blue one is my fave of the day. A wonderful shade.

 

[turbopowerpaul]

Well, thats all folks.

Apologies to james for it taking so long for me to finish this thread - busy, busy, busy and just not enough hours in the day to do everything i need to.

Thanks to James (from myself and Rob) also for providing a great afternoon. Was great to meet up again and to be able to see your superb collection.
Much appreciated.

Thanks again to James for holding onto the Hoover U2604 turbopower autoflex, which filled a gap in mine and rob's collection of Turbo's.
only needed a new belt and a very light polish and good as new.
we are both really pleased with it.

ta ta for now.
regards
paul

Great pics, thanks for posting them.
I think that little red vacuum is a Dirt Devil Broomy iirc. Must have been good sellers cause I see them all the time at thrift stores etc. but I've never taken one

Your near last pic of the blue Tradition and that other is a Heritage II Legend.. don't forget the legend LOL
It's my favorite Kirby of all for actually usage. It differs from the previous Heritage by having a smaller front nozzle and wider rear wheels making it much more stable and easier to manouver. Funny how people like different things.. I never liked the blue Tradition. Always felt like you were pushing around a blue whale but the Tradition was the first Kirby I ever owned so I'll keep it.

James,

Thanks for a great day. It was just fab especially being able to aquaint myself with a few more Kirbys.

Love them all and will be keeping an eye out for a few more to add to the collection, doubt Paul will be as enthusiastic as that but Im sure to be able to slip a few in.

Been pining after the Sentria since, god they cant half groom! They do a fabulous job.

If only though it makes my life harder, was bad enough trying to convince Mother dearest to invest in a Sebo, I think she needs a Kirby instaed lol,

Pete,

Yes Dirt Devil Broomy.

What a hoot they are!

I dont yet know what my favourite Kirby actually is, I know what you mean about the smaller head on the Heritage 2, I prefer that to my Heritage.

but then the Heritage was my first and I do love it dearly.

Kirby 505 plus

Hi James I LOVE your collection of Kirbys Your 505 is what got me started with Kirbys .I have the Kirby C2 but not the original bag it should be like the 505 black and red in color, still it runs like new. How do you like the new Kirby i think it is called santera not sure. i have the g3,4,5,and 6 all do a wonderful job on thick carpet. Next i love your Dual 80 i also have that in mint condition also Heritage 2. Enjoy those kirbys Doug

Hi

Thanks Doug. I ort to get pics of my kirby's with the Hose/attachments on them.

Thanks again Paul and Rob.
It was nice to have you both over.
I still hop I didn't over talk you to death. Just there was alot to go through.

Your camrea takes a good pic.
I like what you have done with my car reg plate.

When I get chance I'll send you a pic of that Hoover spirit U4334 I bought a week or two ago as well as the Electrolux 303.

Any sign of your Hoover TurboMaster yet?

Hope to talk soon.

James

Hi James.

Dont worry - no 'talking to death' occurred at all.

Its all information and i relish learning it all - being washer/dryer/dishwasher mad, there needs to be a bit more vac info to balance everything out.

Quite pleased with the piccies - not a bad effort, even if i do say so myself! tee hee hee. nowt to do with the taker though - all the machine. really useful to have decent shote for my Appliance Archive.

As I know little about the U4334 and its ilk, cant wait for you to show it off to us.

No - unfortunately Turbomaster has still not turned up! Just days short of two months since purchase! Grrrrrrrr!! nough said on that one.

ta ta for now and thanks again for the afternoon. One day, myself and Rob hope to be able to return the favour.

Chers
paul
