Kirby Heritage 2 Legend

[suckolux]

Finally after years of wishing I had never traded for the newer Tech drive model, which I did not care for, found the same one again, day at mini spa, am pooped and tired.

You found the EXACT same Heritage II Legend you traded in, or another Heritage II Legend? I love mine, Especially with the '13 Inch nozzle! it's a silent powerhouse! 

 

[suckolux]

well it could be I suppose, but rather doubt its the same one.Not that small of a town

 

[suckolux]

Actually, its been years, but I seem to remember the ends on my brushroll different? This one adjusts with a screw like the older models, but I think my last one had different heights on its ends?? Been along time, is that possible? I loved how it looked and the disposable bag sold me long ago

 

[suckolux]

Working and sounding great! Age? Guessing late 80s? Total guess.

 

[super-sweeper]

Yep! I think the Heritage II Legend came out in 1986, and was replaced by the Legend II in 1989. 

 

[suckolux]

I know the first one I had I picked up in 95 and it still looked new, so figured wasn't that old.

 

[suckolux]

Wow! I just "used" the rug renovator, perhaps correctly? Knew the rugs felt fluffier after using the Kirby yesterday, they want to lift off the floor, they are area rugs. Today saddled up and rode out the renovator, flat old looking synthetic Oriental rugs look years newer and feel a lot better! Who had any idea? DAMN

 

[suckolux]

There was an attachment??? clip over the front lower handle when I got the machine, about a foot long, guessing some attachment?? went there?

David & bracket on the Kirby handle...

Hello David.


I believe what you are referring to, is the bracket that allowed the rechargeable hand-vac, (Split Second), to be carried on the upright for quick pickups.


Cheers & hagd/n all,

Bill

works for me! I had never seen it before, has at the bottom a cup? that would hold the end of something like that well! Makes sense. Thanks.

Gee, didn't you just buy a very nice looking and roughly similar Royal? Two fisted vacuuming? The wild west image, vacuum in each hand. You got it baaaaad dude. Real bad.

 

[suckolux]

No, got the Kirby first, was looking for years to match one I had. Found the Royal getting parts for the Kirby, long story!

 

[suckolux]

a side note, the fan on this " sucker " is white plastic, original or replacement?

 

[DesertTortoise]

Darn you. I still prefer the two fisted vacuuming image, like Yosemite Sam with a Royal in one hand and a Kirby in the other. Yeee-haaa. But I wouldn't let on about any plastic fans in that crowd, dontcha know.

 

[suckolux]

its dicey at best I am sure

The Kirby Heritage II Legend came out in November 1987

 

[suckolux]

Ok, thanks
