I have enough money, but I just don't really care for these Comvacs.
While I want one, this one is just not the one for me.
However, if I can get it for 50% off, then I'll buy it. However, I'm running out of room to put these. Buying my Royal was a huge mistake, and I feel that this Comvac will turn into that. | ||

I have two of these I was able to buy them new-the one pictured doesn't look too bad-you just hope it was used with the paper bags-if not as one other poster says-the bag could be pretty rude.The missing belt cap is sort of weird. | ||

What I wouldn't give to find more old Macs at thrift stores on this end of town! I've found a nice thing there once or twice, I found a NIB Vacuflo RugRat and a nice barely used Kenmore Powermate JR as well.
But I've tortured everyone long enough, the machine was there and I left with it! I've got part one of the reiteration video recorded, the looking it over before tearing it apart part. One thing you didn't show is that this, along with the instruction sheet, in the back pouch still has the original belt lifter tool! I nearly passed out when I pulled that little gem out! | ||

Once I get this one all cleaned up and taken home I'll do a comparison video, I'll show a D80, a Heritage, the SuperVac (American Lincoln), ComVac 1300 and this beast. Should make for an interesting video, showing the similarities and differences and where they got the idea and what parts they based them on.

That's a cool machine; I would have brought that home with me, for sure. Curious how the handle-release works? Is that what that big pedal is? | ||

I love these Kirby ComVac's would love to own one at some point. I wonder though why Kirby felt they needed to alter the design of what is basically a Heritage model so much for commercial use, The bog standard machines aren't exactly Cheap/nasty and easy to break. Around where I live I know some Business's, pub's and working men's clubs who have Kirby's to clean their premises, Most are Heritage-Legend two Models although I know one place that has a G6. I know off one particular WMC that has six Kirby's three Heritage's and three Legend two Models and they all have the sani-emtor fitted to them, I happened to be in my local Kirby repair shop (which is now closed) when I got talking to the owner of these six machines and I asked the chap why he had the larger sani-emtor on his L2 Kirby's and he replied "because they are ideal for places like what I run the amount of crap that is picked up in them is unbelievable" so I wonder why Kirby did away with the emtor's on the ComVac versions, Makes me think Commercially used machines would probably be picking up more dirt on a day to day basis than household machines so if Kirby felt they didn't need a emtor on a commercial machine then why have them on the H2 and L2 models and I suppose the Generation series models.

Turned on? I've seen a few pics of this Comvac, but I've never seen one turned on. The bag looks enormous....does it inflate bigger than a normal Kirby Heritage bag does? | ||
