Kids have been coming home and other family arrives tomorrow, so I've been cleaning up a storm! In the process, I've consolidated all my restored vacuums to one place. I didn't realize I had so many vacuums until I gathered them all together. The one you can't see in this photo is my Legend II. It's my least favorite, so oh well! LOL!

Of these 16 models, I've restored them all except the 505, the 516, and the Tradition.

That's a lot of Kirbys, I'm jealous.

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful.

The 560 is just stunning. I remember seeing one at my uncle's house in Richmond VA when we visited there for Christmas one year -- well, it was a 560 or 561, probably a 561 because I was 5 years old when we visited there and it looked brand new. I went off looking for vacuum cleaners of course, and found their Kirby in their back bedroom. It was so gleamy and shiny, and I distinctly remember how the light reflected off the sunburst-logo belt lifter.

Couldn't get much more fabulous than this!!

They're all beautiful, Bill! That 560 is stunning, and the DS-50 has always been my favorite. Congratulations on a great collection.

beautiful Kirbys

I have an idea..


How about if you arranged all of your beautiful Kirbys in a circle with the the handles being on the inside and the front of the vacs facing outward?

Then take a Few pics and post them?

I can see where you have learned a thing or two about Kirbys. Thanks for sharing during such a busy time

Thanks everyone! I've had them stuck in a variety of rooms. But all my boys and a few other relatives were coming in for Christmas, so I needed to move them to one place. For now, they're in my bedroom! LOL!

That's a very good idea! I'll try that after I give to boot to all my relatives!
