Finally got myself a Kirby Classic III. I've always loved the look of this model and when one was posted locally on Facebook Marketplace for a decent price I couldn't say no. It has the original bag too. All it needs is a polish and a new light bulb. I will need to buy the attachments for it, as all that it came with is the owners manual and the rug renovator, complete with box.

Kieran,

Since it only came with the Rug Renovator when you found it, I can only wonder if the original purchaser ordered it as "K & RR" (Kirby distributor lingo for "Kirby with Rug Renovator only"), or if the same purchaser said "K & A & RR" (Kirby plus attachments and Rug Renovator) or "Kirby Complete" (Kirby with all available accessories included) on the original sales sheet.

Please note, also, that the Rug Renovator also had the Miracle Head (floor polisher) and Handi-Waxer included at the time of the original purchase.

I saw you shared with me a video of this machine running on FB, and I heard a broken fan when you turned it on. I wish you luck getting another fan for this.
