im not surprised its a kirby. I'm so ready for kirby to ditch the sentria/avlir look and ditch the g-series design. For crying out loud its over 33 years old now. |

That's a great machine to start out your Kirby collection. Everybody should have at least one. That'll look great with a little polishing and it's built like a tank, so with some occasional TLC, it could well outlast you. You got the machine for a fair price. That's about what they go for here, without accessories. One with a complete tool kit goes for about twice that. I bought a Sentria in similar condition with a full tool kit, including the shampoo system, for $50 a couple of years ago.

Hey, Jason,
Nice find! I just recently got my first Kirby as well. Mine is a G4. Since I have all hardwood floors, with only a couple of area rugs, I never saw myself owning a Kirby. But, it came with a mess of extras, and it was free. I couldn't pass it up. I shined it up the best I could, by hand. I hand washed the outer bag, and replaced the disposable bag with a HEPA version. It still needs some bits and pieces. But, I can see why people like them. I just wish I had some real carpet to try it out on! I hope you enjoy yours! |
