I've messed about with the odd Kirby with the emtor removed, on a smooth floor they can end up across the room before you know it... :P | ||

I was testing out a G5 the other day with the bag/emtor removed (using a screw driver to poke the safety switch.) Yeah it's pretty loud but I guess i was expecting it. ;) | ||

Use the Kirby "Shredder" only with ones that have metal fans-the paper can erode a plastic fan.Paper has clay sizers and stabilizers in it-this can erode the plastic fans.Might be an interesting test for a Royal or other vacuum with a metal fan-you might want to try it on a vac you don't care much about. | ||

Now--the Kirby salesperson has another demo for a Kirby-the Kirby "Shredder" for those classified documents you can't throw into the trash!Another use for a Kirby-sorta interesting one-will have to try it.Have some metal fanned ones lurking about.Wonder if this would work with my NSS? | ||

Fans
I have done my experiment I described on a couple of my Kirbys, including both metal, plastic, and lexan fan machines, with absolutely NO damage to any fans. Lets face it, its just paper, something that is a common thing to vacuum up from time to time. I mean, the massive amounts of grit that Kirbys deep-clean out of the rugs erodes the fan faster than paper.
This trick is still incredibly fun to do! It works for other things too, like cotton balls or bird seed or virtually anything else you feel comfortable running through the Kirby. I also imagine it would work for virtually any direct-air vacuum that could have hoses connected to both the inlet and exhaust, including the NSS Pig. | ||
