Kirby Zipp brush compatibility

[jmcgill89]

I just picked up a Kirby Classic Omega. It has most of the original accessories, even the Handi Butler, it's only missing the long extension, portable handle and strap. However, I really want to use a Zipp brush from a later Kirby to clean dog hair off of the cloth seats in our cars.

Question is, can I use a Zipp brush off of say a Heritage II or a later Generation model with the original hose from my Classic Omega?

Thanks for any help.

The answer is yes, yes the zipp brush is compatible since the end of each hose is a similar standardized size. I often use the zipp brush from my G5 with my Tradition.

Thanks so much! I was hoping that would be the case.

No problem! I hope you enjoy your classic omega! I'd love to have one but over here in England they're as rare as hen's teeth! The only UK collector that I know has a 240v Omega is James Sandiland, the Classic III is also pretty damned rare as well, but I'm buying one of James at some point!

The first Kirby I ever used was my grandmother's Classic III. I remember how big and heavy it was (of course I was 5 years old).
