So today I went to two thrift stores plus two flea markets. First I drove by a yard sale, I didn't stop, but I seen a Kirby, probably G4 or G5 and attachments, plus a teal Kenmore Progressive canister 2nd gen.
At the flea markets I just saw a bunch of bagless Bissells. At one thrift store I saw a blue Oreck with an orange cord. And next to it was a Kenmore upright, the kind that was similar to the Hoover Concept One. And it had the attachments. I think it was also the model with a cord reel. It was $25. Plus I made another stop at Habitat again. There was that blue and white Convertible still for $4.50, and I saw another Convertible too or $6. This one was metal base, with white and a yellow/gold colored hood, no headlight. I might go back to get that one next week when it's less busy. Since I kind of want a vintage Convertible, and they can be broken down and stored easily. | ||

I see Kirbys fairly often at thrift stores here. I haven't gotten one, because I don't have space for the machine + attachments, and I don't think I'd use it. I do like the look of them, especially the Classic Omega with that woodgrain and gold theme going on. I also really like the looks of the G3 as well as the Sentria and Sentria 2. And who wouldn't like a vacuum with a N and D shift pedal?

Questions about the Kenmore
What color/colors was it? Was it self propelled? And was it a Twin Fan or was it one of those uprights that were made by Whirlpool like this one for example?

"...It's been an urge to see 'what's next
Can relate. My problem is the same that many others here may have: my vacuum storage closet is full! I have allocated myself one closet to keep vacuums, and I have over 20 (yes, that's right) plus bags, belts, filters, and spare parts in there! I don't really like to keep vacuums out in the open. Too much clutter and too much self-consciousness around guests.
I've had to exercise great amounts of self control in the thrift stores and at the local recycling center. | ||
