hi guys,
this may sound stupid to most of you but I wonder how pre-G-series models are thought to be pushed at all.
We have this thick woolen carpet (maybe two fingers thick when flat and trampled down, maybe 3 when brushed up).
None of my vintage Kirbys will pass over it easily, when you go "against the groom" it is even worse. Only the TechDrive-models can handle it without making the whole affair a real workout.
Not that I consider myself especially weak but how is an elderly lady supposed to use let's say a Heritage?
Or is there something wrong with the adjustments?
Cleaning and brushing up the pile is perfect as ever, but how do you push the older models in a reasonable way?
Models here:
Legend Heritage
Classic III
Heritage 84
On standard rugs and lower fitted carpets they work well and can be pushed, yet they keep being a far cry from "easy" as canisters or stickvacs might be.
I would like to use them more, but this pushing fight (as if the Kirby wanted to refuse to move, just like a blockheaded child) keeps bugging me. Way easier to grab my Lux, My Vorwerk, most of my Hoovers, any AEG and my Royals.
Thanks for any input.
Joe
