hahaha, I hand polished it. I want to get a polishing tool though, can only get so far hand polishing before your hand starts to cramp up |

This was originally my grandma's vacuum and when she got it new (around 1982) it was with the shakeout bag system and she later had it converted to paper bags, hence the Heritage II bag instead of the original orange one. |

I like them too! I especially like the HeritageII and the LegendII. They are very powerful and kind of quite. Not like the deep throaty roar like the 500 series. |

The Heritage series has a very musical tune to it. I get so relaxed vacuuming with it that it's like meditating. hahaha |

Yes, you're right about the Heritage II being powerful. Still, I have to laugh when I watch this video. Shame they had to ruin a '72 bug though.... CLICK HERE TO GO TO Ohio_Tuec's LINK |

Just after high school I bought a Heritage from a local thrift store. I had it serviced and while it was in the shop I had them change the bag to the H2 bag(I wanted the L2 bag, they were out). I used that vacuum daily for several years. When I got my first G3 I gave the Heritage to my sister-in-law(she hated it and traded it for a bagless Sanyo when I had my vac shop). I wish I still had it(that and several others).
The Heritage did look better in the H2 bag. I can't stand orange. Justin |
