For sure, you can count on the Kirby to be going 20 years from now. Glad to hear the testament. Take good care of the Legend 11 and it will keep a clean house for you! Norm |

My grandmother told me a similar story. She said back in the early 1970's, they had their old carpet replaced. When the carpet men pulled the old carpet back, not a speck of dust. She said one of th men asked her what type of vacuum she owned and she wheeled out her Kirby Dual Sanitronic 80. The carpet men were extremelly impressed according to grandma. Soon after the Kirby's fan broke, instead of having it fixed, she bought a Hoover self propelled model. She used it for many years until she finally got tired of it not picking up well and the hose constantly clogging up on her. She then came to me asking if I could find her another Kirby. At the time I had quite an extensive collection and I let her have her choice. She picked the Classic Omega and is still using it, she loves it!

I related this story to a friend of mine tonight, she called to tell me that she inadvertently sucked up the water in her toilet with her Hoover Savvy vacuum while cleaning the bathroom fan (yes, I know) so we were talking about Kirby vacuums and my mother's G-3. She said the Hoover is still running but thought it might be time to start looking for a new cleaner. Probably... I'll keep my eyes open for a G series for her, too bad though, I just saw a beautiful G4 at an estate sale two weeks ago for $100! She was impressed by your story, as was I! Thanks for sharing it with us. |

Many a Kirby has been sold on the basis of dead skin and dust mites sucked out of mattresses. Sometimes people can't sign the sales order fast enough. |
