This is my Kirby Heritage II, which was rescued from Savers and gifted to me by my bestie. We cleaned it up a bit, but it definitely needs to be restored to a showroom shine.
I just got the hose yesterday from another dear friend Charles Richard Lester. Prior to this, I had never used my Heritages in canister mode, because I had no hose! Now I can enjoy the full versatility and functionality of the Kirby. I was shocked at how quiet the motor ran on high speed. It functioned great while cleaning two cars thoroughly with a Zippbrush. Brava, Kirbette!
I am able to use my Heritage attachments on the Heritage II, and I just love its power, versatility, lightweight, and contemporary-vintage sensibility. Do I have great friends or what?!
Many thanks to my bestie Mike and the incomparable Charles Richard Lester!
That is a beautiful machine. I used to have a Heritage like the one behind it but that's now on 'permanent loan' to my ex-girlfriend; that is, she borrowed it about three years ago and didn't give it back after she broke up with me about last summer. Oh well...
