Dear All:
Hey all, I am really enjoying my Kirby G6. This weekend, I pulled all the parts off of her and started buffing her up with some very fine steel wool and my car buffer. It's such a sharp machine and I love the gun metal gray/black against the silver...very sexy and chic...LOL.
But what I cannot get over is that it cleans better than anything I've seen in the past. In fact, I think it's time to put a new bag in as it's nearly 1/2 full. I cannot believe the dirt that was hiding in my carpet, floors, ceilings and everywhere. Troy told me he's never seen the carpets looking better than ever.
After each use, I clean the brush roll out...however I have two questions that need some answers to match:
1. The carpet I have always sheds a lot of fuzz. This has been an issue with my X's Dyson and my 10 year old Kenmore canister. I noticed there is a good bit of fuzz mixed with my Beagle's hair around the belt lifting finger (don't know what's that's called). I take my fingers in and pull as much as out. However, how can I get it all out. I'm very careful not to do any damage to both the belt and the knob as well as the brush roll. How can I full clean that?
2. Sometimes, and this is very very very rare, but when I pull Hellga back whether it is slow or medium speed, it jumps a little. It happens rarely, but I have the feeling I'm not doing something right. It's not transmission wise, because I can feel it at the front of the cleaner. Is my brush roll to far down? Am I doing something wrong.
Otherwise, I'm very very happy with my purchase and am looking for an older Kirby to restore too! I'll post pictures of Hellga when she's all buffed!
