What model kirby

[vacuumlad1650]

Well, hello Everyone. Im looking for advice...AGAIN!
So, (hopefully*) in 2016 I will get a Kirby vacuum sweeper. I was wondering what model should i look for? What ever model I get needs to have parts readily available, and be able to shampoo my carpets. I would prefer paper bags, but a shakeout will do.
Im not concerned on attachments other that a shapmooer.
Thanks!

G series

The good news is you can't really go wrong with any of them but I'd personally recommend something from the G-series. All of the parts are readily available and internally they're essentially the same as the current production Avalir. If you shop around, you can pick up a nice one for $100 or less. I grabbed a rather pristine Gsix with a full accessory kit but no shampooer for $50 at a local thrift shop.

Andy, what's your budget for your first Kirby?


 


I would agree with Human that a "G" series machine would be best for shampooing carpets. Preferably G5 up to the Sentria II (G10). You may have to buy one without a shampooer and buy the shampooer separately. 


 


You can search Craig's List and ebay as well. Just keep looking until you find one that fits your budget.

Thanks for the advice guys. Im not buying until next year. my budget is about $100 or less. My problem is i cant use fleabay since i dont have a credit card. Craigslist, well, its a royal pain!

You don't need a credit card for E-Bay.  You can link your pay-pal account to your checking account.  They just send a verification that the account exists and you are in business.

Well, that would work, if I had a paypal account, or a checking account. I just buy everything cash or cashiers check
Thanks for the thoughts
