My Extensive Collection Part 8

[pr-21]

There is also.....

A youtube video that someone recently posted. It shows a lot of the updates to this model. It was a guy that bought one, whose friend is a Kirby Salesman. He did a pretty nice job, a chance to see it in action.....

Hay Dan..

I don't need crayons or construction paper for your review but I would like a scissor...just in case I need to cut my way out of the nasty comments I'm sure will follow

My Kirby Avalir is still on wait-figure the bad weather here may delay its delivory.It has to come from the dealer in Raleigh,NC-about a 2 hr drive to Greenville.I am supposed to get it on Thursday.We will see-two snowstorms out here-one from last night and another tonight.Just enough snow to make travel no fun.And I don't know if it worse in Raleigh.
Sptyks: Neat Kirby promo-What mediums is this being broadcast on?Never seen such a promo.I do like the new Renovator-want to try it-have a place on my carpet reserved just for it-kinda dirty.And if the attachment can clean bare floors-have some of that to try it on,too.

I am going off topic here

With everything happening in our county we all got a good laugh at the emergency shelter from VL with all the rude & snide comments being thrown about on this sight & all people want in this shelter is to be able to have electricity & go back home ... even have a home after being destroyed by fallen trees ...5 days & counting without power & more snow on the way .... Be thankful for what you truly have!

Finally , actually had these since last Thursday

The long awaited KIRBY Avalir's yet another version in the Generation series .

It is a handsome machine and I am happy with my purchases I especially love the new floor care kit it should be interesting to use .

I am always my KIRBY guys first customer to each new KIRBY that comes out I love that it makes me feel even more special than I already am .

I couldn't just buy one that wouldn't be any fun ...

Dan

 

[ctvacman]

Its

About damn time haha. I was going to send you one of mine. I feel like mine has a bit more power than my sentria II, for example it really picks up the carpet on setting 4,and then I gondown to 3 whereas before I would use 2 on all other generation series kirbys.

I think it's so nice looking in person. My sales guy wanted me to take it out at his office but I said hell no.

 

[kirbyloverdan]

Haven't used mine yet

Colby

It's been tuned a bit to squeeze out more power so that makes me happy .

I am waiting to shampoo my carpets then I will use it enjoy yours .

Wow 63 views since I posted them ...

Dan

 

[tolivac]

Have to call my Kirby guy to see when we can arrange an appointment to have mine delivored.The bad weather here and in Raleigh have stalled the efforts.The Kirby fellow says mine is going to be the first one he has delivored in this area.Will have to ask him how many he has sold in Raleigh.

 

[kirbyloverdan]

Wow since I posted my Avalir

I have had 156 views pretty Kool to have the most popular thread on VL .

Dan: Don't let the haters get you down. You have a fantastic collection. And you are a really good person, always enjoy talking to you on the phone. Glad to know your doors are all open (we know what lurks behind the closed ones). I'll have to get my claw hammer and come visit you (ha ha). John Gregory is a very nice man, glad you are his friend. Keep up the great work with the vacuums - and use that "glorified sawmill". Maybe in 2019 (which is Kirby's REAL 100th anniversary), you can take that boat anchor out of the box and enjoy it. You know I love ya man. Keep the great posts coming.

 

[kirbyloverdan]

Thanks Tom

NOBODY can or will ever bring me down I just know this is life and haters are gonna hate that's their problem . I enjoy our conversations also your a very knowledgeable friend as are many of the great people I have met through VL . Thanks for the compliments on my collection I really appreciate it .

Love Ya back Tom ...

Dan

I love your collection!

The fact that you have so many machines (especially vintage ones) that are N.I.B or in near-new condition is priceless. Keep showing your amazing finds! I'm eager to see your Kenmore Destiny! -Mitchell

 

[kirbyloverdan]

Thanks Mitchell

Very much appreciated I am very proud of my collection a ton of hard work dedication to my hobby and the appreciation of all brands of vacuum cleaners and money over the years but hard work really does pay off as witnessed .

I have yet to find my destiny but I think it's at my mothers house but I will find it soon

Dan

 

[tolivac]

Still working on getting the dealer to bring my Kirby--Maybe today????We just have to see.I want to try it out so bad!!Just getting one-can't afford the second one at this time-maybe later.But-I can't just let something sit in the case-have to USE it!

One day many years from now a future collector will thank me because of all of the NIB vacuums I have been able to preserve .

Without someone like myself there will not be any NIB vintage vacuums for someone to enjoy , I am already thinking about someone I have never met and they probably hasn't even been born yet .

I am insuring the future collectors happiness and if they chose to open and use my NIB vacuums that's their business .

Dan..

.
NIB appreciation is probably the best thing i have learned from you.
IMO, If done right you actually you will end up hoarding fewer vacuums not more.
That said, if you have the space, hoarding vacuums mostly keeps them from land fills and is a harmless joy if that is your thing.
Dan, your entire NIB collection probably costs much less than one TOL Harley or mid line Hyundai. It is hardly an outsized sum of money for one person to spend in the scheme of things. Shoot, might as well go down to Starbucks and start shouting at the customers.

That said you seem to be involved in various feuds here, of which i know nothing about other than a lot of snarky comments are bandied about, by both sides.. I haven't lost any sleep over it myself.

You are so right and over the years it doesn't cost much at all .
They are easier to store and take up a small amount of space plus they hide easilly
Everyone treats their collections as they feel fit I am into brand new in box vacuums
vintage and new .

When I was young I picked vacuum from the trash and almost everyone of those were like brand new and very clean . Today with my OCD and the way vacuums are so filthy and disease and bugs lurking in them I leave those for others but mainly they go to the landfill .

I don't care about all the snarky comments and talking behind my back you know what they say they are behind you for a reason . I have only the best of friends I chat with through vacuum land you included as I associate with kind caring people we all appreciate our friendship and that's what life is all about . God has blessed me and I am truly grateful heck I am not even a church goer and I know God is here for me
I close my eyes at night knowing I have lived an amazing life and treated everyone with the utmost respect and kindness .
