I recently acquired a second Heritage I model and was surprised it had a shake out bag. Was that an option for that model? Thanks for any insight on Kirby manufacturing and model history. Thanks GK |

Edgar,
I had no idea (as a boy) that the shake-out bags even existed on the Heritage/Legend series. That is, until more recently when I at least saw a Heritage II bag with a short zipper... and then I saw mention of that in the instruction books!
I would think these customers ordered theirs with the shake-out bag to avoid the cost of buying disposable bags, or (like KirbystheBest had said) because they had been used to shake-out bags in years past.

The shake-out bag was an option through the end of the Legend II. That being said, the consumer would likely never know about it. The salesman brought the machine with disposable bags and demoed it. The distributor would have had to order the shake-out bag model separately from the paper bag model, something model distributors didn't do. And why would they? They made money off selling the paper bags.
