Ditto -- I couldn't find the auction either and I was very curious to see it as I am unaware of Kirby ever having made a hair-dryer attachment.

Kirby never made a hair dryer attachment. Like the Preco power brush, there were many 'fit all' attachments, including a Hair Dryer. In reality, it was the bonnet and a hose. As long as your vacuum had a blower outlet, you were good to go. Wouldn't ever want to use a Kirby (with its dirty air fan) for drying hair though.

Right, Tom. To say nothing of the fact that a Kirby-dried hairstyle would look something like this!

Better wash out the hose first.

well for one you take the hose off & use the intake section only so no dirt, & the bonnet has a filter in it. i believe it has sold already. it was called nu way.

I found the expired, no-bid listing at: http://www.ebay.com/itm/NuWay-Vintage-Ki...


For future reference here is the description and the only photo posted: It, indeed, must have been a generic item made by another company as the Kirby logo isn't used on the flyer, nor is there a drawing or photo illustrating a Kirby vacuum cleaner being used with the hair dryer or any written instructions.

Hmmm . . .

Too bad these are so rare, it'd be totally cool to have a contest to see what could dry a big 'ol bouffant hairdo faster, this or a Filter Queen bonnet.
