Kirby had a Sani-Emtor for their shakeout bag system for the Heritage II/Legend/Legend II models. |

Kirby had a Mini-Emtor for their disposable bag system for the HII/L/LII models. |

I remember seeing the shake out bag and emtor in the instruction booklet for a Legend I used to have. It probably wasn't standard, but optional like the small rug nozzle if you wanted it. ~Tim |

it was black hammertone and VERY rare. i've only ever seen 2 on ebay. one legend 2 like below pictured (ebay photo) and a heritage II. im lucky enough to get a heritage II shake bag from a phillip in kansas. ill probably have to fashion an emtor spray painting it black hammer tone and get a nos black emtor tray to match. originals are almost impossible to find.. ive been looking for over 2 years.

Will, and others,
I would think that both the Sani Em-Tor as well as the 13" wide nozzle (500 series/Sanitronic holdover) were never popular options during the entire 1981-90 period, correct? ~Ben CLICK HERE TO GO TO KirbyClassicIII's LINK on eBay |

sani emtor was the ONLY option until the heritage II. just had a filler tube that press fit into it like the tradition. though heritage and heritage 84's shake bags were still somewhat common, still not easy to find. luckily, my friend and i have 5 in perfect shape. starting with the heritage II, the sani emtor was EXTREMELY rare to see, as well as the accompanying shake bag; same with the small head. the small head was never a popular option thru any of the heritage series.

Would I think the apparent rarity for the Sani Emtor/Sani Pocket setup on the Heritage II was because the shorter rear axle (as used on the Tradition 3CB and Heritage 1HD) had to be used for this setup?
I believe the Sani Emtor/Sani Pocket setup on the Heritage II was discontinued after the late 1987 update to the Heritage II Legend. ~Ben |
