are the BEST way to get them in my opinion! :) The two dearest units in my collection are my moms mothers Kirby DS-80. She is still living and had it sent back to the factory for a rebuild for me. This was the first Kirby I ever have recollection of and I always got to use it when I would go for visits. They actually have old 8mm footage of me playing with it as a child. Granny has a framed picture hanging in her entry hall of me in my Easter best when i was about 4, posing next to the DS-80. Then there is my dads moms Heritage that she brought over to me one day before she died. It had a busted fan in it and said, if I needed a good "vac-cum" as she called it, then i could fix that one and use it. It's my daily driver and I could NEVER imagine parting with it..It's in beautiful shape for a 30 year old machine. She and grampa bought it brand new in 81. So sorry to hear of your granny's passing. You have a beautiful treasure to remember her and your youth by..

![]() Sorry to hear about your Grandma. I can totally relate to your story from when I was a child. My Grandparents had a Heritage and every Friday night I used to stay over then spend Saturday morning hoovering through the house for them and even the car if weather permitted, when I wasn't doing this I use to polish it, sit and marvel at this pristine Kirby. Sadly now I don't have that Kirby in working order any more but I have most parts to it either in scrap or on my current Kirby's, even though the scraps are no good I just cant part with them. |

It's almost as if all grandma's are required to have a Kirby! ;) My grandparents had a Heritage 2 that I would have loved to of had, but they traded it in for their Generation 4 in 1994. My grandpa still regrets doing that, because he said the Heritage was the best vacuum they had ever owned. But I now have the G4 and I love it. It is the first Kirby I had ever seen and used. It is probably one of the first vacuums that I had ever used too. But congrats on getting your grandma's, but I am very sorry that she passed away.
