 Wow Trevor that Classic III looks in fantastic condition For me I think the Tradition is my Favourite Kirby but only just, for me it's a hard choice between that and the Heritage but the Tradition just edges it on colour scheme. If I could though I would have a Heritage Kirby in Tradition colour's, I prefer the Heritage bag attachment to the handle and front belt lift more than I do on the Tradition.. | ||

My D-80 is Number 1, then my Heritage II, like everything about each of them. Then maybe the new and unseen possibility as the 100th Anniversary model. If it turns out to be everthing we think it is suppose to be. Accourding to rumor !! Norm | ||

For me, it's the 560 and 561 in the later 500-series and the 514 and 515 in the earlier series.
Although, really, I love 'em all!!

Id have to say the Kirby Classic Omega, with a brand new original bag, mirror finish shine on the chrome, new cord, and new bulb in the headlight hood.
There's just something about that shiny mirror chrome against the dark rosewood brown and the Omega symbol that is appealing to me. It just looks like an excellent vacuum cleaner without even turning it on,,like it means BUSINESS! I agree the Kirby Tradition with its chrome next to the dark blue is pretty too. I also love the "Sorocco" or tan-coppertone of the Sani 7, and the DS-50. Least favorite Kirby is the DS-80. The dull Army green just dosent do anything for me. | ||

I had a 500 series Looked very much like the 561 of 137's but a 220volt version , it was complete with all attachments but needed a polish , it worked fine not even bearing noise, However It was stolen when we were busy moving about 5 years ago.
I don't know what upset me more the fact that it was stolen or the fact that some bone head idiot sold it for scrap more than likely I have searched long and hard for it but never found it or another one , probably never will find another here as they did not sell in great numbers here. Kirby Cape town has two but won't sell me one :( | ||

I think the DS80 would be 100% better looking if it were done in the "Sorocco", or tan color of the models before it. Maybe not the exact tan of the previous models, but a dark sparkling shiny coppertone.
Would be beautiful with the tan or gold bag. There's Just something about that Army green that is ugly to me,,like pea soup, or pea soup vomit,,or guacamole that someone ate and lost! EESH! AAhhh well, just goes to show, beauty is in the eye of the beyholder! | ||

Yes, But You have to remember the time period the D-80 was born into. The Avocado appliances, the green shag. The D-80 was perfect for it's time, and is still one of my favorites. Not just the color, but it was one honey of a machine. | ||

True True,,green was the color of the day. One of my relatives built a new home in 1970, and had all green appliances, even the washer and dryer.
She had LONG green shag carpet installed, that had to be raked with a special plastic rake. You raked, vacuumed and then raked again. Was beautiful once it was done, but the minute someone walked across it,that ruined it! I remember She bought a new Hoover DAM, and made sure it was green also. Haha, jeeesh,,people had more time on their hands back then evidently! | ||
