Today was quite eventful. I got a free Kirby Legend II from a dumpster and a Hoover Elite II for $20 at a flea market. Both run beautifully, and the Kirby runs spectacularly! I'd say today's my lucky day!!!

Hardbag
Wait. You have a hardbag? I could not find any mention of a hardbag Elite anywhere online. I have one too. Can you post pics?

Nice save! That's how I got my first Kirby. One of my Electrolux 1205s was also a trash find back in the early '80s. It's absolutely amazing what people will throw away. I saw another Kirby by the road a few months ago but I was running late to work and traffic was too heavy for me to double back, so I had to let it go. It was an older machine, maybe a Classic. It was gone, as I knew it would be, when I headed home that afternoon. I really hope somebody else was able to snag it before the garbage truck got there. Oh well, ya can't save 'em all.

I have found a few kirbys in dumpsters,But apart from one or two legend ii,s the rest are g series. One g3 but it really was knackered, Two g6 in perfect condition, one even came with all its attachments, a g5 , and a lot of sentria,s. always a bit shocked that people dump these but I suppose at the end of the day its just a vacuum thats in some ones way. I know that when I do a clean up I realize I can post lots of the stuff i throw away on gumtree but I want it gone now so i dump it.

Speaking Of Mrs. Doubtfire...
Ever notice that she is actually getting suction through the hose and not the floor nozzle? Take a look at this picture. Poor woman was probably thinking "Why isn't this vacuum working!"
