My husband and I got my Kirby Heritage II up and working! I have had him for years and finally got to him! The previous owner over used a disposable bag and it had exploded inside! I took his outer bag and emptor off, washed his bag in woolite, hung it to dry, reinstalled it, put a new bag in him, my husband installed a new belt, brush roll, and rug plate. His cord had been spliced with a lamp cord from the previous owner too. My husband removed the lamp cord section, I bought a yellow plug end which we will paint black in the future, and he put that on. The original cord is now shorter, but I wanted to keep the originality! Tonight we replaced the lightbulb and my husband cleaned the contacts. It works great now! This is the quietest Kirby I own! I love him!

Thank you! I got the Heritage II and DS 50 together years ago off of EBay. My DS50 needs the bearings greased and a fork spring. We just replaced the ugly and gross blue bag someone put on it. I found an aftermarket tan bag on EBay that looks so much better! I am going to buy a lightbulb tomorrow for him! I want to see that Kirby logo light up! I bought the Sentria off Facebook a few years ago and cleaned him up good! I got my Omega off EBay 2 summers ago. I always liked the Omega and wanted one! That was the first vacuum I ever cleaned a bag on! All of my Kirbys work great except my DS50, but he will be fixed soon! I am watching a Tradition on EBay that I am wanting to add to my Kirby collection! I have a bunch of Electroluxs and 2 Hoovers also! Kirbys are becoming my favorite!

Haha! That's awesome! Thank you! I sure love my Kirbys! Haha scrubby duck! He is such a wonderful vacuum! I truly love using him! I switch off, they all get a chance to clean! Except for poor DS 50! He needs his bearings greased, new brush roll, and belt! I am getting him a new lightbulb tomorrow. I want to see that Kirby logo lit up!
