It looks in fantastic condition and matches the draperies. This must be a very uncommon vacuum in Italy?

Legend II

I found one on ebay myself and it arrived last week in FANTASTIC condition.. better than new! Cane with just the basic attachments. I love how much lighter and easier it is to use without one of those bog old em-tors on it. It runs so smoothly and quietly compared to my other kirbys!

Hello,
I've been playing with this kirby Legend for a while and I'm impressed with it: the first thing I noticed is how quieter it is than the later "G series" and, after changing all belts, washing outer filter bag and putting a Filtrete bag it was ready for use. I have a Heritage and a tradition and I love how the rear wheels, placed outside, give the vacuum cleaner more manuverability in the upright mode and more stability when using the hose;In the upright mode it is fantastic on throw rugs but a little bit hard to push on my wall-to wall carpet, but I probably haven't found yet the most correct setting of brushroll height and toe-touch control for it. However it sounds lik it was new, I really can't guess why the seller wanted to give it away, however I'm sure it will have a wonderful life with me!!!
I haven't tried the carpet shampooer yet, I think I have to do it!!!! See you later, Tommy

IF its hard to push try the micro matic adjuster on the bottom of the pedal. Flip the machine over and if you look at the bottom pedal you will see a small screw with a screwdriver turn it clockwise on full turn flip it back over and try it if its still hard to push turn it once again. I hope this helps. Ps I never knew about it until my aunt give me the manual to hers. I just thought it was the filtration system not anything else.

hello Kirbynoy, I know about the screws, the brushrollo was set too out, I adjusted it a little bit but I think I'll replace it wit a new brushroll with newer style, however I'll obviously let you know!

A new brushroll will help. I hope you enjoy it. I do have a question. didnt you guys over there get the generation three until later? Im asking because I noticed the legend has the attachments of a generation three except there red.

Hello,
of course we had the G3 and all the later kirbies.Kirbies have been imported by a professional cleaning equipment company that used to import also Advance cleaners since the early Seventies.
For what I know the first kirby distributor in italy opened in 1986 carrying the Heritage II;
However in the Usa I know that the early versions of Kirby Legend II had te tools in the same style as the ones of the previous model; A second series came out with the same tools as the g3, probably while in some countries the G 3 was already the current model.

I remember when I got my Legend II five years ago in March 2013.
It was a dream come true for me!
