Make sure the suds control valve is open all the way and that you mix the solution properly. If everything checks out, the Kirby definitely SHOULD make suds. |

Thanks Sptyks, I will do that. Since I'm kinda new to World of Kirby is there a suggested place to order from or should I just go to Kirby? Again, thanks for your help. |

Be sure you have the suds screen in with the screen facing the shampooer NOT the tank. That screen can be put in both ways and, with the screen facing the tank, it will not make suds but will empty the tank very quickly |

are you using Genuine Kirby suds? Regular extraction shampoo won't work with a Kirby. No offence intended just asking. |

I would contact a fellow website supporter...a007Kirbyman..his name is Bill. He's a good go-to guy for anything Kirby, and will give you a discount as a fellow collector. |

Super, waiting for the new parts. Looking forward to try again! Wish Kirby shipped a little faster. |

back in the box and forget about it its little more than useless and more trouble than its worth .I have lost count of these shampooers that have been used once then put back in the box and disgarded Kirby would do well to discontinue this atachment and lower the price alittle having said that i love my kirby and wouldnt use any other cleaner nothing beats it as a vacuum

Anthony, not all of us find the shampooer useless! I adore my Rug-Renovator, it digs-out deeply embedded dirt, and leaves the carpet lightly scented! this is fine and great for light-cleaning, but when you pair the Rug-Renovator up with a HOOVER steam-vac, you have an unstoppable carpet-cleaning force! |

and im not the only one but if you want a wet carpet smelling like an old dog go ahead ohh yes and when it does eventually dry it leaves a sticky residue that in no time at all attracts more dirt.If you really must use this contraption the best way to use it is to use it as per instructions then go over the carpet with a three in one machine with just clean water in it that way it will remove all the detergent and all the dirt that has been left behind by the kirby .Try it and see what i mean
