Compact Models

[kirbyotronic]

Well now, most everybody knows Compacts are my absolute favorite canisters! They're like potato chips, you can't just have one, you must have the whole bag. The plan is to start looking for one of every model! I thought it would be cool if everybody posted a picture of every Compact model, and some information about it.

To start off, here is the model C6.

Alex, those are beautiful vacuums. I remember a neighbor having what looked like the C6, except I don't think it had any wheels. Thanks for posting these; I'm really developing an interest in adding a Compact or two to the collection.

Tough choice between which Compact I should have or go 4 both.

I really like your machines!!!!!

Compacts are also one of my favorite machines,I just got a blue c6 like yours that I am trying to find the time to restore.I want to prime and repaint this machine, and install a newer lamb motor. I have a lot of lamb motors that I pulled from mid to late 90's kenmores that are in great shape, and range in amps from 8.5 to 10.
