I finally got my grandparents Kirby G4 tonight! This is "The Kirby". The one that I grew up with, and one of the first vacuums I have ever used! My grandparents originally bought a Heritage 2 sometime in the 80's, and when my grandma found out that they had a Kirby that was self propelled, she gave the local dealer a call and threatened to make my grandpa's life Hell if he did not buy it. So this Kirby was purchased in 1994. My grandpa still regrets to this day buying this, because he said the Heritage was the best vacuum he had ever used, and misses it very much. I would like to find a new one to give to them for my grandpa to use.
I didn't have to do much work to this. The bag was very full and the belt was stretched out so those got replaced. The were also a few strings wound around the brushroll. It's not that they didn't take care of this, it just never got used because they live most of the year in Florida. All of the attachments are here, and just needed a wipe down. The shampooer has only been used once. The floor care kit in the picture was not originally purchased with this vacuum, that came from another G4 that I used to have, but I saved that as it is brand new. I am extremely glad to finally have this in my possession. |
