Your one favorite Kirby OF ALL TIME

I would say anything before the Classic.


 


Smaller, more efficient.

Upright man, I have two bottles of Sweet-Aire, one is Empty and one is half full and I have the boxes for them too.

I found a vacuum shop a few months ago a Kirby Prototype. It has a Heritage 2 cloth bag, with a transparent G series mini-emptor. It has a Heritage 2 power head and brush roll, but a G series like main body and it is self propelled, but kinda quirky like a G3. There are no stickers of any kind on it at all, in fact the only thing that says Kirby is the bag. On the bottom of it are an hour meter and another meter that measure how many passes you make. There is no light at all and no hood either, but a molded plastic piece that clips in the whole where the hood would be. I got it at a vacuum shop I frequent where a lady had traded it in with another just like it. She said she pulled them out of a dumpster behind the Kirby Factory in the late 80's and traded in both of them for a Simplicity 7 series.
I had to put new wheels on it and adjust the Tech-Drive, but it works and cleans as good as any Generation.
When I was a kid, there was this cartoon show called Prometheus and Bob. Prometheus was an alien who repeatedly tried, to no avail, to teach Bob, a human, how to do various things. Since it is so strange in comparison to other Kirbys, I have named it Prometheus and it is my single favorite Kirby.

My Favorite Kirby and Daily Driver is a model 561 with all the attachments, Floor polisher and Handi-Butler Still runs and picks up perfectly after all these years.. Dan

after owning a G3 for a period of time i would say that is my favorite G series, the Omega is my favorite vintage series and i do enjoy my 505 but i avoid using it on a daily basis due to it's age, OE fan and impossible to find switch.

in my opinion, i think the G3 has the best propelled feel, i dont have any issue with gittering or harsh shifting, if you point in the direction you want and supply steady pressure it runs nice and smooth, it runs faster and with more force than any of the other series making it truly self propelled. the bag, emptor, belt lifter seem alot better made to me than any other series, in turn it also seems the heaviest. i also like the "prototype" white its in and it's square headlamp.

i am upgrading the roller brush with a stiff sentria one and attempting to run a LED in it.

My favorites are ...

<span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">... the 511 (because it was the first vacuum cleaner I ever encountered!), the Tradition, and the two which I have in my collection -- the G5 and Ultimate G.</span>

G3 Transmission

I find it to be a bit like driving a car with a higher gear ratio, for it just seems to self-propel and "accelerate" better!
