And the back side. Specifications list 6 amp motor and 12,000 RPM brush speed.
In addition to the traditional eight settings from the toe-touch control at the left front wheel, there is also a "Vernier" type adjustment that can be used to lower the nozzle further if the lowest setting of the toe-touch control is not quite low enough. Both the CVD1300 and CVD1600 use what is described as a "polycarbonate" fan (break-resistant and ultra-durable), which debunks these Lexan/Kevlar suggestions. ~Ben |

Back in the mid 1980s, our local "Music World" store at our local mall had one of these 1600 Com Vacs. They had thick plush green carpet from wall to wall, and one of the employees was always vacuuming seems like. They always kept the machine plugged in, at the back of the store.
I remember being facinated by how simular, but yet how different it was from the Heritage model that was out at the time. I wonder now if ALL of the Music World stores across the country in malls and such, all had these ComVacs. Were they only avalible thru the local Kirby office/dealer? I wonder about the disposible bags too. Have never seen any for sale, or even any reference to them. |

Fred,
From the brochure, the COMVAC 1300 is pictured with the pre-1973 style toe-touch height adjuster control (part #131669, with ratchet lock #133069), since the part of the control (from brochure) that lowers the mechanism looks the same as it had for the Classic 1CR series and back, whereas yours has the version used since the Classic Omega 1CB (part #131673, with ratchet lock #133073). ~Ben |

And of course, the most important document of all: The Six Month Warranty Spec Sheet!! (I would hope it would last a lot longer than that for the price one would pay for it!) |
