Kirby actually says just turn the vac off turn the belt lifter un til the belt is lifted, as if you were going to take off the head, anmd turn on to the last setting. |

Kirby still makes the Bare Floor Pad as far as I know. Its not really a pad as it has a row of bristles along the bottom. I ordered one directly from Kirby years ago after I bought my Diamond Edition and I think I paid around $20. The "floor pad" isnt the greatest but it does ensure that you wont scratch the floor as you can with the bottom of the metal rug nozzle. If you have a lot of bare floors and a Kirby is the only machine you have, then its a good idea to purchase one. I would rather just use the machine in the canister mode since its to hard to get under and around furniture with vacuum in upright mode. One small gripe about the floor pad it is can make the machine a little difficult to stear on uneven floors such as tile flooring.

I forgot what model# it was but Royal breifly made brushrolless metal uprights for hard floors-the rear lips of the nozzle had brushes on them.Caretakers of wood gym floors and basketball courts liked them. |
