Is there an attachment that fits over the rug nozzle or a separate front nozzle that would let me use the Kirby in it's upright form to vacuum bare floors...specifically tile and finished concrete? I know I can do this in canister mode.....but I'd rather push it as an upright.....thanks.

Yes

There is a bare floor pad in the Omega box of hose attachments. It clips on the rug nozzle. Turn the belt lifter off. The suction is not as strong as the hose attachment, but it will get the job done.

Yes, there is a piece that is called the Floor Duster, it can go on the bottom of the rug nozzle or the floor attachment for canister mode.

To find a new one, you'll have to look around as Kirby hadn't made replacement parts for this attachment since 1985.

Awesome thanks to all, very helpful!

Now I just need to locate the fine-dog-hair-on-carpeted-stairs attachment, and I'll be set for life…
