COMING SOON!

My grandpa recently let me have his old Kirby D80. But it is not in my possesion yet. I have two hours out of town to get it. When i get it ill let yall know. :)

Kirby G4


We were cleaning out my great grandparens place when we came across my great grandmas Kirby Generation 4. It surprised me, because how in the world could my great grandmother, may she rest in peace, lug around that heavy kirby? I lugged the kirby out o the closet and started taking it apart. It was fascinating! WE took it home, i cleaned it up, and e used it almost every day. But with my recent vacuum purchases of older kirbys, i had to make a decision. WE took the G4 to the storage unit. Bu we will get it out soon! :D

Kirby Classic III


One of my favorite vacs in my collection, my kirby classic III, which has been in my family for over 30 years. It cleans my carpet grat, but the bag is bad in one part, and i am looking on replacing it, but i need an opinion, so thats where you come in. SHould i get a new bag, or should i keep it all original and jus have it repaired? Im debating.
