The Tradition and Heritage are more hefty. The Heritage II was my first Kirby left out on the curb for trash. I slammed on the brakes and scooped it.
The Gorgeous Blue Tradition came from Pete and over this winter I completed the missing wands, hose, polisher head and Rug Renovator kit bits from Doug Smith out Moose Jaw way.
Love it's swoopy styling in the wing tabs of the brush roll head. This is the one Kirby bag that bleeds blue dye on contact with water. Compare the left briefly washed bag to the one on the machine - that fade took only about 45 seconds! I coulda re-dyed some 501s in the water. LOL
