My New Kirby

[firebirdman55]

A few days before I received John Gregory's kind gift, the Hoover Convertible 1060, I was browsing my local Craigslist and found this Kirby G3, with all attachments and shampooer as well as instruction manual for $30. Not bad. Runs excellent. Gave it a small spa treatment and a new bag and belt and it's running well. I know many of you have certain manufacturers that you're dead set on...but it's hard for me to choose...I love all Kirbys, Hoovers, and Eurekas.

I certainly appreciate your passion

and appreciation for all of those vac.
I was, am, and forever shall be.... HOOVER. That's just me.

What a great find at a great price!  Congratulations!  It's hard to beat ANY Kirby!

I am kind of the same way, there are several brands that I love, Kirby, Hoover, Sanitaire, GE to name a few. Some for different reasons, some for the same. Some clean better than others, some look better than others, some come with more options/attachments, etc. I think collecting anything would be rather boring if there was only one brand or style to collect, but that's just my unprofessional opinion lol.

Yeah thimbles come to mind..boring

Exactly my point! Most of them look the same lol
