Wow, congratulations! I almost had a heart attack, since the Legend II looked like it was NIB! In that case, I'd be very jealous. :) The D80 and Legend II are some of my favorites, too. ~Alex |

Fred, what a beautiful machine. I have to agree with Robert after touring the factory and talking to the workers there it does give one a whole new respect for Kirby!! |

I seem to recall there being a "small head" Heritage II or Legend II. Anyone else recall that? |

Congrats Fred! The Legend II is my favorite Kirby! I think it's the color of the bag. What a wonderful machine. |

I herd that there was a small head for these machines but have never seen one. The last one I saw was on the Heritage 84. I love the Legend II, it is my favorite to use. I think that the Heritage through Legend II were the best cleaning machines Kirby ever made. Nothing against pre or post Kirby's, I love them very much as well. The Legen II was the first Kirby I ever bought ( not however the first I ever got) My first was a mint Classic III ( I still have) that someone gave to me. I used it as the daily driver for a while then bought the Legend II also mint for $300.00. I used the heck out that thing. I still have it as well though both are retired form daily use.

Fred, I'm so glad you received a Legend II!!. I was just about ready to send you mine but I would have hated parting with it even for a good home. Many Kirby salespeople and managers, considered the Legend II to be the best Kirby ever made even today. It is interesting to note, that so many collectors have one. (I can hook you up with bags if needed!) As you know, my Kirby's consist of the Dual 50, Dual 80, Classic III, Legend II, Generation 3 and Sentria. As a collector, I am of the opinion that they are all special for a number of reasons. Again, I am so happy you have one as I have known you wanted one for some time. Have fun with it!! Fondly, Charlie/GD |

think ive seen the small head on ebay. will a Legend II belt lifter fit on a Sanitronic nozzle? Can you simply make your own small nozzle? i prefer the narrower nozzles too. |
