Hi everyone so i went to my local vacuum store and saw a Kirby heritage two in the used vacuum section for $75 it looked to be in very nice shape but the price tag made me hesitant to buy it. Is that a good price? Does anyone recommend this as an older daily driver? ok so then later the guy told me that i could look in the basement to get a vacuum for my birthday (i ended up getting a fantom lightning) and I saw a hoover concept two with power surge on the handle, it had it help mate but I don't know if it has its attachments. the only issue is the self propel feature is not working. Is this common? Is it a simple fix? This vacuum wasn't priced so what would a fair offer be? $30-$40? I want to have this vacuum (the machine deemed the best choice) for a daily driver and to have as part of my slowly growing collection. Thanks for your input in advance. Mark
Kirby or Hoover? Help!!!

The self-propelled mechanism problem could be solved with just a simple belt change. However I do know those systems can get complicated, and if it truly is broken I would just keep an eye out for another one in better condition. Concepts are fairly common. Does the Kirby come with attachments? $75 isn't awful; I may try to talk him down. I had a Heritage II for a few years, and while it was heavy to carry up stairs, it was extremely reliable and the new HEPA bags can last for months at a time.

If the Kirby includes the attachments, then it's not a bad deal. I would go for it. You can't beat a Kirby for cleaning ability and reliability. You may never need to buy another vacuum.
You might find a less expensive one on ebay, but by the time you add on the shipping cost, it will probably cost the same or even more.

Price is ok with attachments and in good shape.Often there aren't any attachments with a Concept, and often that second belt is slipping or broken.

Kirby all the way...
I love love love my Heritage II !!! The purr of the motor and the way it just hums over the carpeting. Installed with the HEPA filter it has become my daily driver.

Thanks
for all the input. John, the majority of my collection is Hoover(nothing cleans as well as a vacuum that Beats as it Sweeps as it Cleans)
and i might get the concept because of the performance i have gotten from my convertible. Does the concept work as well as a metal bases convertible w/ beater bars? Thanks again every one!
