Oh lord I know all too well about those pine needles, they make great mulch but that's about that...lol I've got those plus oak, cedar, hemlock, a red maple & one other that I can't think of but those acorns...not being hit on the head with them but slipping on them & going down the hill in the front yard! I was LOLing as I was sliding down the front yard... I never claimed to be the sharpest knife in the drawer but I'm 2 sandwiches short of a picnic!!😃
 
lol I'm sure Gareth

In the box they call it a wet and dry vac because they can't use the shop vac name but that's basically what I've called them for years I can see other countries calling vacuuming hoovering surprised that never caught on in the US .

I find the Sears craftsman hold up better and last the longest I used to buy shop vac but they would burn up after a few uses after 3 of those I will never buy another SV .

Party... Yeth... Not me the life of

I have to look for "the party flag". This is a cool idea we came up with ...someone puts a party flag out in their yard with time & date which everyone is invited to in the neighbourhood. So far it's been a hit in this small area.. byob or whatever for 2 hours where we catch up on what each of us has been doing/going & it's never boring as I only missed 1 as I was too tired after a 6 mile hike in the mountains.

Of the beginning of my NIB KIRBYS

Adam M is wondering why I haven't posted any yet well Adam it's because I've been working hard making money 💰💴💵💷 so I can buy what ever vacuum my big heart desires .
Since I have no way of contacting you I will say this PLEASE don't doubt me I can back up everything I say you can see through this longest ever thread on vacuum land I own thousands of $$$ worth of vacuums .

This is my first NIB Kirby my Heritage from the 80s I thought my first NIB was my Tradition well I used that because I was only collecting KIRBYS and Convertible Hoovers in the 70s as a child . I do have the entire Generation series NIB ...

Stay tuned for many more ...

Nice collection Daniel! I sure would love to have the rare prototypes. Where did U get vacs like Big Power, Robo AuraClean etc? I can't find any Robo or Big Power dealers near my area.

Unissued-unused vacuums NIB-I JUST CAN'T resist--have to use it!!!I purchased the Riccar Radiance many years ago too,when they first came out.I like the machines but like the Kirbys better.Now,if the airpath in the tandem air machies was simpler-the performance would be even BETTER-and I would like to see a bell nozzle instead of the square base.The bell nozzles just get into corners,around furniture and closer to walls,and you can use EITHER side of the nozzle!No being blocked by a belt housing or the "weak" side where the suction intake isn't.
 
Good to have lots of vacuums to use-guess we never can have enough-Waiting for the Kirby guy from Raleigh to bring me the Avalir.I am sure he will come!He has sold me other machines.
 
Number two

In the Generation Series the unused NIB G4 I loved the blue color when it came out .
I had two but sold my used one to my friend Nora after I gave it to my parents to use
when I was trying to convert them to Kirby that didn't work as they are diehard Aerus fans .

This is from July of 1993 it has the 80th anniversary handle which I bought the label when it arrived in 1994 .

Nice Kirby NIB 80th Anniversery Edition!Someone on here mentioned the new Kirbys were supposed to come out in December-and also when the Sentria 2's have all been sold out.So Avalir fans will have to wait a month or two.Sort of think this is kinda strange--most of the time new vacuum models are introduced in the Spring.At this late arrival-folks are going to be wrapped up in Thanksgiving,Christmas,and New Years before thinking of buying any new vacuums of any sort-I am not talking about us collectors-but the "average" folks out there.If the Avalirs are going to be sold during Holidays-the salesmens work is sure cut out for them!But we may get to find out how well the Avalir cleans up Christmas tree needles!LOTS of piney smelling new vacuums out there!
 
Thanks Rex

I called my guy yesterday he said he was going to the docks to pick up an order that just came in he said it was 100 Kirby's but he has no idea if they will be Avalirs or Sentria IIs .
If they are not Avalirs then he will have to sell all 100 Sentria IIs before he revives the Avalirs .
We shall see stay tuned ;)

I talked to someone higher up,in kirby yesterday and she said no one will be getting them until the stock of sentria II are gone. I asked if around the begging of December and she said that is probably a safe bet. I called several dealers and they were caught off guard that I knew what the avalier was, of course there was the one dealer that had people working that didn't even know of it.
