The D850-A (fight me) is having complications again, with my new cleaning schedule I've found it has an issue with blowing dust, which I've heard is a common problem with older Kirby models. It doesn't seem to be getting it on the floor, but after every cleaning there's a decently thick layer along the side of the shell where the bag is attached.
I have a pretty good idea as to why this is, the thing doesn't have an emtor, and there's about half a centimeter of empty space between the collar and plastic bag gasket which lets the dust escape. I never really noticed the dust-caking until the most recent cleaning (yesterday, because I clean every Wednesday.)
At this point, I might just do what the auctioneer that sold it to the previous owner did and put tape around the gasket. I don't have the money, energy, or sanity to buy any more replacement parts, let alone do anything vacuum-related, this project has thoroughly burnt me out.
Other than the dust blowing, it picks up well.
Again, I don't expect advice, I have a vague idea of how to fix this, it's just a drabble I decided to put down to make up for my lack of updates on really anything.
*For those that haven't caught up on my posts about this unit, it's an amalgamated Kirby from god knows when, and some people were confused on what a D850-A is; it's a stand-in model name since it's not exactly a D80 but not a D50 either, so therefore a "Dual Sanitronic 80 50 Amalgam", or D850-A. I felt the need to clarify.
