Here's a link to one off mecari.
Mecari is like eBay. I've bought most of my Milwaukee tools off of it and saved thousands literally. I bought a sentria 2 split second 2 weeks ago for like 12 bucks. I know there for your web site. If I find a burgundy I'll let you know.

I have a never-used black 12V car version that I got for allowing an in home demo of a Sentria (?) in 1993 or 1994.
Is this the same as the ones given away with the HII? Is there a 120V model also?

I'm pretty sure there all 12v versions made for Car cigarette lighters or auxiliary outlets.
I do wonder if they had a cordless or even a corded 120 volt one.
The split second imo is just plain worthless.
It's a nice novelty vacuum but other than that nope.
David do you plan on doing info on the 1hd-13 1hd legend-13, 2hd-13 2hd-legend 13 and h2l2-13? Perhaps the janitronics, comvacs and American Lincoln commercial models. I have 2 green janitronic American Lincolns and 1 American Lincoln red white and blue the last year of production.

Split second

The Heritage II version of it was a cordless machine that could mount to the front of the handle. I'm not 100% on this but i think all models afterwards were corded machines with cigarette lighter plugs.

Yes, The cordless handhelds that went with the Kirby Heritage II are rare! The car vacs with the cigarette lighter plug are common..

Thanks all for the info. I never really paid much attention to these little guys.

Les, I already knew the car models were not much use. That was the reason I never used mine, lol...
I already had a B&D car vac that I used and hated. It worked but I hated the cord and plug. I would get into the back seat to do there and jostling the cord made the plug come out enough to break connection. Rinse and repeat.
My car also had the lighter wrongly wired on the ignition switched section so that was harder on the battery (coil/module was energized the whole time I was vacuuming).
I quickly stopped using that unit and just used my mom's D50 with the hose and attachments.

I now use a B&D 18V Dustbuster, which gets the worst in little time. The big Kirby still is best for real cleaning.
I will not use car wash vacs as I do not want to know what is on the hose end from some people's disgusting cars. If I go to a full service wash place, I tell them to not do anything to the inside.

Anyone know what battery voltage is of the units that came with the HII?
Oh, wait it says in the ad - 5 cell = 6V. 'Most powerful' they say - wow..
I assume it came with a charging station for wall mount?

I was making sure you thought longer than a split second before using it.
I'm guessing 6v as most small items have a 6v power source.
I'm pretty sure oreck makes a sister vac to kirbys.
