I love mine. It did not have the original bag, bag top cover or cord. So I had to put a 40' orange cord, Heritage Emtor with fill tube and G4 tube top on it with a Tradition bag, bag top cover and bag guard on mine. It looks a little funny, but it works wonderfully. By the way, I spoke to a rep at CWP and he told me that if there were enough people on the forum who wanted new brush rollers for the 18" Commercial Kirbys that his bosses MIGHT be willing to do a run of brush rollers for us. I'm sure that they will want money up front, but I offered to sound the members of the forum out to see how many would be willing to commit to buying some. So, if there are members who want to buy some 18" Kirby brush rollers for the commercial Kirbys, please email me so I can forward your interest on to the Rep at CWP.
My email address is DJustinTaylor@gmail.com
Thanks,
Justin

I think they are based off the DS80, but Im not sure yet until I get mine in the mail.

Remember... Janitronic?

Before this SuperVac 180 there was also the Janitronic and the SuperSweep. Both of these had 18" brush roll lengths.

If I'm not mistaken the Janitronic came out in the very late '60s. I was told by the Rep at CWP that he'd asked Kirby for the drawings and mesurements for the 18" brush roller and was told that they had been tossed out years ago. I'm supposed to take some pictures of mine and send them to him. I may offer to send mine, so long as I get it or a replacement back.
