I love the entire Heritage/Legend series. It represents the ultimate refinement of the pre-G Kirbys. They're very easy to work on with conventional tools, far simpler than the Generation series (G3-Avalir). All three Heritage/Legend color schemes are very attractive. My personal favorite is the Heritage 1HD with its orange bag, but you really can't go wrong with any of them. They're all very solid machines, designed to last a lifetime or two.
The only part I know of that is particularly hard to come by is the foot switch assembly, which is also where the power cable plugs into the machine. I have a Legend II, on which someone installed an older foot switch from what I believe to be a Classic Omega. The brown power cable doesn't match the oxblood red of the machine, but surprisingly, the brown foot switch is less noticeable. It may be different on UK machines, but the female end on the North American machines' cables (we call them cords) are shaped differently between the Classic and Heritage lines, and are not cross-compatible. |
