I have to give a shout out to Bill (Vaclab) for helping me along my way here. I recently posted about the noise level with my Sentria 2 and how it bothered my oldest son. After seeing Bills awesome collection and running different Kirby models I settled in on the Heritage II. I found a decent machine on OfferUp and got it this week. I ran it Saturday and again today with my wife home. She thinks I’m crazy for having 5 vacuums at the moment but I think I’ve found the one. I believe the testing that I’ve seen and understand that you need a great amount of CFM along with suction to really clean well. Kirby fits that bill nicely. I was able to have a conversation with my wife while vacuuming and my son was helping me. I told her I’ll sell the others and keep the H2. I can’t believe it but I can see myself adding more H2s, an Omega and maybe a Tradition for a collection. Never thought I’d collect vacuums but they are pretty awesome and still going strong after 30 years.
Side note; I saw the Royal YouTube videos most recently done by Bill and although that machine looks neat I’d need to wear ear plugs. It sounds obnoxiously loud!
