A few years back, I wanted to figure out a method for vacuum the vertical parts of carpeted steps thoroughly. I tried all sorts of machines and hose attachments and then I was given my first Kirby. A 1988 Heritage II Legend. Of course, I loved using it "right-way-round" but I saw fit to use it more or less downside up (or at least sideways).

I have been letting my cousin use my Heritage II to vacuum the stairs in the portable mode. I was quite pissed to discover he cracked the handle where the bag hook attaches. Of course, "he didn't do it" and has no idea how it happened. I would love to do this, but I'm afraid I will further damage the portable handle! |

Known as the stair riser. Is the Kirby heavy to use as a handheld? Watching the video, it reminded me of the unwieldiness of using the Hoover Senior 612 on the stairs. |

carpeted risers being so dirty that they overwhelm a Sidekick. Maybe a big troop of dirt kicking Roma's?
