I've seen a few episodes and I liked them... at first I thought that the one in the opening scene was a Eureka Whirlwind because of the clear hose, but it does appear to be a solid bag door, so I guess it is a Victory. At first, I couldnt' tell because it was so far off in the distance and only flashes on the screenfor a short time. The hose hook on the side was a dead give away.
I love the episode where he is sucking up something with the red Dirt Devil Feaitherlight and opens the bag compartment and the dirt explodes right in his face! So funny! The scene opened with a really cool shot from carpet level, looking up the vacuum.... it looked like the brush wasn't even touching the carpet (which is hard to do, I think that vacuum lacks a height adjust!)... I am shocked though.... I'd assume that someoen with OCD as bad as him would have something halfway decent like a Rainbow or Miele instead of a Dirt Devil Featherlight... maybe it stands to reason since he doesn't ever have any money! That same episode (where Sharona came back to visit and met the new "nurse"), Monk goes around to clean up the mess left behind with two identical cordless Shark looking hand vacs.... Very funny!
Whirlpolf, where is the Kirby you are talking about? Maybe you posted the wrong link?
