Great job with yours!

Hi Matt I love that machine realy like the light. I have many Kirbys in my collection I am still waiting to find the 505 Kirby. i have four or five Kirby 500 series they are very nice vacuums. I have the G,3,4,5,6,and the one i like the most the Diomand edition Two Speed. Well enjoy that Kirby Doug

My point of putting a cloth inside was to see EVERYTHING that was picked up from that spot without having it spread throughout the entire bagless chamber and filter. The Kirby dirt scope collects EVERYTHING on the one pad over a very small surface area so by putting a similar size on the Hoover you'll see EVERYTHING over a very small surface area. There's a huge difference in comparisons when doing them in the same manner.

Has Kirby ever made a smaller upright? I.e something with less of its big floor head size?

 

[sptyks]

Does Kirby make a smaller upright?

Not to my knowledge. I think some of the older models (pre Generation series) had slightly narrower power nozzles by 1 or 2 inches.


The Sentria II is currently the only model sold by Kirby. It has a nozzle width of 14 inches.

Vintage Kirbys

Kirbys used to be svelte. For some reason, they've morphed into... behemoths. Still loaded with quality, but BIG! That's how I like my cars, but not my power tools. Different strokes I guess.

Matt,

Enjoy your new machine.
GREAT carpeting there, as well.
I always enjoy opening a brand new HOOVER, too.
