I took my Kirby in for service. It needed a new switch and cord. After I picked it up and was heading down the street, I saw this big pile of mud more on the road than the sidewalk.
It was another Kirby totally soaked by the passing cars.
I thought it was too far gone to bring home, but I did anyway.
When the mud dried I took the broom to it outside and this is what was underneath.

The bag had a bit of dog hair in it, but wasn't smelly or ripped.The fill tube has a big crack in it.I did shake out $1.02 and some earrings.

The first thing I learned on Vacuum Land was to polish with Mothers. I always used it on the car anyway. I like the smell of it and the ease of polishing it off.

I never knew Kirbys came in two sizes. The little one is missing his whole face.
Is the brushroll the same size on the Legend as the Heritage?
Oh and the vacuum works and has great suction, a little noiser than his big brother.

The machine with the hose may sound louder because the motor is in high speed with hose/attachment. The one with the rug nozzle attached is on low speed.
