So recently I purchased a Kirby tradition, it's has an inner bag, but can I convert it back to a shakeout one? Is it possible, and what's better an more convenient a tradition paper inner bag or a shakeout bag? Also if I convert it back to shake out, if I change my mind can I convert it back to being able to hold an inner bag?

Thomas,

The Tradition was sold with either the paper bag option or the shake out option. ( think they did that up thru the Heritage Series.

Personally, I would keep the paper bag version, much easier to care for and it really doesn't affect the air flow. (unless of course the bag is full)

Just my two cents

Morgan,

Shake-Out bags were available all the way to the Legend II!

 

The Tradition was Kirby's first attempt at paper bags, and it wasn't very effective! I'd recommended putting a Heritage I bag adaptor on it!
