And to think it can be used as a massager, too...... | ||

Uh oh, you might be jealous of me then, David.....
I just picked up my Kirby Heritage last spring, complete with all the Turbo Group attachments, for only $50 CDN. All I need to get now is the turbosander & the turboclippers....
BTW, regarding the turbobrush that's part of the Turbo Group....I also have a turbobrush, not a zippbrush, that's for a Heritage II. But, I was under the impression that the turbobrush was discontinued & replaced with the zippbrush when the Heritage II came out. So, how rare are these & what year was the turbobrush officially discontinued? Rob | ||

Thanks for your help, Justin....
However, I know that the Turbobrush is still being made under the "Rug Rat" name. And, like you, I prefer the Turbobrush over the Zippbrush.
What I am really seeking to find out, though, is what year did Kirby stop having the Turbobrush made for them? I have always believed that the Turbobrush ended with the Heritage I. Like I told David in this post, I have a complete Turbo Group attachment set, with the Turbobrush, in the dark gray color that the Heritage I attachments were made in. However, I also have a Turbobrush that is in the dark black color the Heritage II attachments were made in; it obviously was originally sold with a Heritage II. So, does anyone else on here know what month & year Kirby officially discontinued the Turbobrush? Was this perhaps made for just a few months until they perfected the design for the Zippbrush & started manufacturing it? Rob | ||

Sorry to bring up a four-year-old thread, but yes the Turbo Brush did make it into Heritage II sales for its first season (1984-85) only, which by then was not only black in color but production was now in Canada (along with the Turbo Sander) instead of the U.S. In fact, these had been made in Canada after about 1983.
