So I cobbled together my Heritage 2 legend, I still have the OG bag setup for quick swapping, I was not expecting it to sound so much more powerful with still a stock plastic fan, brand new bag, might swap it for an orange shake out bag, as this is a tradition shake out bag, H1 emptor

Looks great!The

The Heritage 11 Legend is only model left on my vacuum bucket list. I recall when a friend bought hers brand new how impressed I was. It just seemed more refined than earlier Kirby's.Quieter and now with disposable inner bags!

I have an orphaned blue Tradition bag in great shape that I plan to use when I change the trim color on one of my DS-80's from green to blue. Enjoy your Kirby!

Yes, that whole series—Heritage 1HD, Heritage II, Heritage II Legend, Legend II—are my favorite Kirbys. I'm not a big fan of dump bags, as I've ranted here before, and thus have converted both of my dump bag machines—my Heritage 1HD and Classic III—with HII parts. The Classic III got a Legend II bag to go better with the color scheme, and the 1HD got a correct orange bag with an HII mini emtor and fill tube assembly.

I love how easily parts from one model often can be fitted to another and work like they were meant to be together.

I did keep my stock bag config too, I just like the shakeout bag well my 509 and 519, but for finer stuff or very dusty stuff I will still use the micron magic bags, I got 50 of these for 5$ at a thrift store, funny enough since my 519 doesnt have a safety switch it is more or less my daily driver due to it being a universal kirby for me, but im not going to get any more kirby's I got 3, lol, I do wish they kept suction releaf in, in later model kirby's
