THere seems to be a problem with my pictures on computers over sea. the kirby is maroon, on another tread I put a picture of a rare red aeg, and there were people responding with "that is a nice shade of blue" I do not know why maybe it is my camera.
You are right, good observation.
I vacuumed with a Convertible 584 right before taking the pictures, I wanted the rug to look its best and I didnt want to get any dirt in the Kirby.
I got the Kirby back in early June, and I still have not used it, just turned it on a few times
I just put a new tranny in mine for my mom she absolutley loves it. It is amazing how smooth it moves you really do not realize you are pushing it so to speak. But turn it off and you remember how heavy it is. My mom has a bad back and I got it to help with her chores. She would use it more but she loves her Oh what wreck! lol. I did the whole house and her carpet is back to life.
i noticed when you got back you're Kirby classic 1cr, it had a different color rubber strap surrounding the bottom of the bag that connects to the emptor. its black, i thought the original color was Greyish brown.
